We are traveling with Blue Mongolia, but there are a huge number of companies running tours in Mongolia. These are some of the others that we looked at...
Black Ibex
Nomadic Expeditions
Happy Camel
Blue Mongolia seemed to strike a good balance between offering a real taste of the local experience and the level of organization and professionalism that we wanted. Many people apparently just show up in Ulaanbaatar and arrange travel from there. Definitely a cheaper option, but, from our research, also more hit or miss. That said, we are fingers crossed on Blue Mongolia. They have been fantastic in the lead up to our trip, and we anticipate (hope for) a really amazing trip when we arrive.
This is the website to the tourism bureau of Mongolia...

Here's some good articles that gave us a sense of what this all might be like...
The Mongolia Obsession by Tim Wu (Slate)
Mongolia for Beginners by Marco De Oliveira
I don't particularly like the way the second one is written but it did get me excited about traveling there.
