    We are a family of 3 who have just spent a fabulous 15 days in Tibet with Tibet Vista. From the moment that we were picked up at the airport we felt looked after and everything was very well organised throughout the 15 days. Our tour guide Sonam was full of enthusiasm , knowledge and energy. We learnt so much about Tibetan culture snd during our monastery and temple tours Sonam provided us with lots of information. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he always had a smile on his face. He was very helpful in all the hotels and restaurants. Our driver Mr Norbu was a very safe driver and again nothing was too much trouble for him on the long journeys. We would thoroughly recommend Tibet Vista. Very professional! The Willett family

    Tibet Vista is an established operator with well rehearsed tours. My agent Leon was helpful and efficient with organizing the trip. The ground team of Tibetans was excellent. The driver Mimar was super friendly and helpful, always gave out water, helped with the luggage, went down to look after one of the group members, who decided not to continue the trek. Our guide Ngawang Tenzin was a great and knowledgeable guy, who guided us through Tibet and looked after us for the entire two weeks. Always with tea and biscuits during the long car journeys. During the Mt Kailash trekking, a lot of us were struggling at points and Tenzin was always there to help: be that with the local herbal remedies for altitude (really helped me!), or carrying a backpack for a group member, who struggled, or always staying with the last member to ensure everyone got down okay.
