Specialist vs. Booking Platform

Why not just use GetYourGuide or Viator?

Those platforms work well in easy destinations. Mongolia is not an easy destination. Most listings are resellers, not operators - and there's no one on the ground when a track washes out or a camp closes. eMongolia.eu is based in Ulaanbaatar and answers the phone when it matters.
