I booked my trip to Bhutan and Nepal and I am impressed by the client service and how available they were for me. I asked so many questions to Kyle (thanks again) and he was always super kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a travel company to assist you to travel to Bhutan and/or Nepal. The itinerary they propose is varied, not too overpacked and helps you to enjoy a great trip. Nancy

Lovely Trip, Awesome People Have just returned from a 7 nights trip to Bhutan with my daughter this Summer. I cannot recommend Jovi from AOT enough - flawless organisation, great communication leading up to, and during our trip. We were met at Paro airport by Kins, our tour guide and our driver (many apologies, I didn’t write down you name ). We were in good hands from the start and had an incredibly informative and enjoyable trip. Kins and the driver were always on time, got us to spectacular locations safely and were open to ideas if we wanted to change the itinerary. When my daughter became unwell, they were incredibly helpful and supportive. Would definitely recommend this tour and the lovely Kin and driver. ❤❤❤❤

My family went to Bhutan in July this year. Mr. Jovi helped us organize everything and He was amazing. So helpful, clear communication, and efficient every step of the way. He helped answer many questions about my travel in Bhutan as well which was so nice of him. Our Bhutan trip was so great, and my local guide Migma was the best! and Sonam ( his driver) were excellent. Would recommend this company and especially Jovi for organizing!

I enquired about a customized Bhutan private tour. Within a couple of hours, travel consultant, Chris, reached out to me and sorted out all the logistics based on my needs. He was very responsive and trustworthy. The local Bhutanese tour guide assigned to me, Dago was also very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely recommend this team to everyone.
Anonymous | Traveled in August
They helped us with every detail along the way, from the visa to the airport for departure, everything was smooth. They accompanied us to the Tiger’s nest (and even helped me carry my bag when I felt weak!). I highly recommend using them to book your tour to Bhutan.
