    The before tour service was excellent, including organisation of the Tibet permit. But the guide, although knowledgeable, fell down on the customer service aspect. There were repeated instances of failure with this including replying he was 'too busy' when asked a query, did not answer queries at all, and dangerously, had not checked the oxygen tank and when required, a passenger had to suffer through without.

    Really loved the tour and the itinerary. The only thing that stopped it being better was the service on the Nepalese side. Once Tenzin had said goodbye the service level, transportation and overall experience was not great. We were packed into a very tight bus and the journey we had been told would take 6 hours actually took 15 (despite not stopping for lunch). The roads aren’t great and we were expecting that, but our bus really wasn’t up to the job and we had to keep stopping to move rocks and raise the bus up higher. The drivers were excellent and really tried hard, but we needed jeep type vehicles instead. Otherwise, the tour and overall experience was brilliant and our guide and driver in Tibet were exceptional.

    We had a great time meeting new friends and our guide was one of the best we have ever had. His name Pasang. He knew his stuff and answered all our questions. He was courteous and always making sure we were comfortable. He was a straight shooter and advised us about things in Tibet. We had a great time in Tibet.
