First of all, let me thank you and your team for the very nice trip I had in/around Chengdu and Tibet. All went very well and smoothly and I enjoyed it a lot.   Sophie was a real joy to have as a guide, very kind, helpful and enthusiastic - big thanks to her for making me feel very comfortable on the Chengdu part of my trip.   The drivers did a good job as well, I always felt safe and especially liked the Tibetan music the driver in Tibet was playing when we were on the road. It created a nice background sphere to the stunning landscapes we passed through. Doji was also a good guide to have in Tibet. He cared very well for the group's well-being and also had good knowledge of the sights we visited. The size and comfort of the vehicles were just perfect for our small parties. I was astonished about the good quality of the rather basic accommodations at EBC and even at the Mt. Kailash Kora (electrically heated beds - wow).
It went well! All the guides and driver were amazing. Hotels were good. sights and activities were fun. Only thing i’d say for the future when someone says they want to go to pokara from kathmandu, i’d let them know it’s a 7 hour each way drive and the road is terrible, haha. They might think twice about doing that instead of flying. That’s it though l oved it. Thanks so much for your help Merry!
The tour we took - 5 Days Lhasa Ganden Group Tour - was very interesting and enjoyable. Tibetan culture and monasteries are formidable. Guide Lhankdon was always very helpful, competent, and attentive. The driver was also always very friendly. Jennie was always very attentive to our requests and how we obtained permission to visit Tibet. Everything went very well with GreatTibetTour. Both my wife and I loved this experience in Tibet. Everything was excellent.
