TSEREN TOURS was founded and is run by Tseren Enebish with husband Rik Idema. Tseren is a Mongolian from the country side and graduated with her degree from the Mongolian Arts Academy in 1992. Her nomadic blood flows strongly and has always pushed her to see what is beyond the horizon. Rik first came to Mongolia from the Netherlands in the Spring of 1992 for his two year world cycling tour. He found it to be on of the most untouched countries he had visited. Rik quickly fell in love with the nomadic spirit still so apparent in Mongolia.

Rik and Tseren met in Ulaanbaatar where Rik  was waiting for his visa for the next leg of his bike tour. Driven by their desire to travel, they journeyed throughout Mongolia and other Asian and European countries. They love to travel in an individual flexible way giving more attention to the local people and cultures than to the advertised tourist sites. In 1994 they started TSEREN TOURS Company and began to organize tour parties to Mongolia. Their tours are based on their own philosophy of travel not as tourists but as sensitive adventurous explorers. Their first organised tour was a bike tour. Later they organized all other kinds of tours for small groups and for individuals. Sometimes tours are arranged in cooperation with European tour operators.

Because they have lived both in Mongolia and the Netherlands Rik and Tseren are an outstanding couple promoting positive experiences for visitors and hosts where Mongolian and Western cultures meet each other. Rik and Tseren want to share their awareness and respect for Mongolia – its people and places – with you.

Today Rik and Tseren have 4 kids together, they are also slowly to learn their way around Mongolia. Their kids are the new driving force behind the kids tours as they get to try them out before anyone else.
