I want to thank Jojo for organizing the Tibet tour for me. If you got Jojo as your travel consultant, you are in good hands! She's attention to details, quick to response and goes out of her way to help address any questions and concerns that you may have. Although I experienced severe high altitude sickness, I managed to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Tibet had to offer. Our tour guide Dawa and our driver Dr. Guo were awesome. They were very patience and understanding. If you have to chose between standard hotels vs comfort hotels, chose comfort hotels. Some of my fellow travelers regretted booking standard hotels. Just beware, they don't have non smoking hotel rooms. The hotel rooms reeked with cigarette smoke, which got me sick at the end. My tour guide tried to get me a non smoking room, but all the rooms are the same. Overall the Tibet trip was a wonderful experience!

First, I was extremely pleased by the Local guides. They were upfront and clear about the whole process beginning with travel itinerary, help with the visa process, travel costs and so on. The agents were cordial, and always responded promptly during the pre travel phase of the journey.
Once our tour started, I was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm of the guides to show everything possible at different sites. The guides as well as the driver were very friendly and helpful.
The organization of the itinerary and the logistics were very well planned. All hotels, with the exceptionption of one, were very good.
The only shortcoming that I can think of, was the food that was local thoroughout the journey. It lacked variety and there was no other option. However, this is not the fault of the travel agency since all restaurants served only local food.
Overall, I can summarize that I had a great experience. The trip was very well planned, organized and successfully completed.

Oliver was an amazing and attentive tour guide. He was able to swap around our itinerary to ensure that we didn't miss out on attractions after string winds caused the Govt to close buildings fir 2 days of our trip.
The Great Wall is SO impressive and photos do not do it justice! On this trip you visit parts of the wall where you have it to yourself for most of the day. This was a major highlight!

The Kailash Kora was one of the most intense experiences of my life. The scenery was stark but beautiful, and I felt a deep sense of respect for this sacred mountain. The tour was fantastic. Both Dorji, our guide, and Tenzin, our driver, were outstanding. They took care of everything we requested. Doeji was very knowledgeable and responded to all our questions.

Absolutely loved this tour! I especially appreciate Tour Guide Tenzin for his in-depth knowledge and thorough explanations during our visits to the monasteries and the Potala Palace. As a native Tibetan and a practicing Buddhist, his background significantly enriched our conversations and gave me the deeper understanding I was hoping to gain from this trip. His discretion, patience, and enthusiasm were truly outstanding and made the experience even more meaningful. Walking through Jokhang Temple and seeing pilgrims praying was deeply moving. I felt immersed in Tibetan culture from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Lhasa.
