It was a great tour in Tibet

What our clients who recently visited Tibet say about our tours in Tibet:

The Tibet trip was a great trip for me. You caught me by surprise when you called me in Beijing. I was just getting out of the shower and I was getting ready for my flight to Tokyo.  I got everything done that I wanted to. I was able to get all the photos I wanted of the Potala Palace, Mt Everest and the monasteries and the Tibetan people. The mini buses were cramped and uncomfortable at times and very hot especially when we were on that bumpy stretch of road just before Mt Everest and this put people in a bad mood at times.  A few of the lunches were way too long - 2-3 hours due to poor service and that made us fall behind with our schedule but I usually didn't participate in those lunches anyways. I wrote post cards instead. But again overall a great trip for me. Like you said the Everest trip is not always easy.

I liked the hotels for the most part - The Citic was fine - nice pool that I used - easy to change money - close to airport etc.

The Yak hotel had a great location - walking distance to Barkour Square and Potala Palace and the Old city of Lhasa in general. On our return trip to Lhasa they actually put us in the new section out back that was outstanding and very new. It was also next to a restaurant that it had a connection with that I liked - the Dunlary or something like that.

I liked our guides Sonam and Lotce. Especially Sonam was extremely knowledgable and incredibly patient. It was the largest group I have ever been with for this kind of a trip.  There were 20 and then 19 in the group which I think made it harder for the guides to move along and made us fall behind in our schedule at times. The guides had to work especially hard.

Do you have any trips to Myanmar(Burma) or Bhutan.
