    We have a great time in Tibet joining the EBC tour with GTT. The arrangement route is nice, with 3 days at Lhasa for acclimatization. Both the tour guide Lobsang and driver Paksang were excellent in service, helping the visitor with smile, good advice, good information sharing, always provide helping hand when needed. I can see that they carry out their duty with passion from the heart. The itinerary timing was good, with an exception that 2 of our team member have some problem with the breathing when arrived at EBC. After couple of hour, we decided to leave EBC on the same day we reach to ensure the 2 members safety. The guide provides few options for decision making. Overall, it is an excellent tour and I would recommend to my friends GTT if they want to come to visit Tibet.

    I can hardly think of the right words to thank you for a fantastic vacation in Tibet. I’m sorting out my photos, souvenirs. I come across a tiny piece of paper or a receipt, I remember a wonderful place we went, some warm & friendly person we met or something fascinating that we saw in Tibet. Our guide Dargye is a good guide, he speaks English very well, and he has full knowledge of Buddhism and local culture. We learned a lot from him. Again, thank you for everything. I recommended Great Tibet Tour to my friends.

    I was so lucky that I booked the 8 Days Lhasa Gyantse Shigatse Mt. Everest Group Tour with Great Tibet Tour which is the Tibet tour operator based in Lhasa. Some of the travelers in our group booked the tour with the travel agent. It means I use less money but enjoy the same service as them. My tour guide is Dajie who had a great experience. His knowledge of Tibet history and passion was great. I was very satisfied with how he guided this tour. He took care of all the members of our group. Traveling on such a plateau with an average altitude of 4000 meters is not easy. But the reward is to see the peak of the Mt.Everest from our Rongbuk guesthouse. I highly recommend Dajie and Great Tibet Tour.

    We have just returned and would like to thank you for the wonderful tour we had. We thoroughly enjoyed it and must compliment you on your tour guide and driver. They went out of their way to help us. In August, my wife and I took a 6 day customized tour from Lhasa to Shigatse, organised by Great Tibet Tour. Catherine, our tour consultant, provided a very prompt response to all our initial queries and went to great pains to ensure that the tour arrangements and hotels were exactly what we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The hotel in Lhasa was very comfortable with great service. We enjoyed the company and learnt a lot about Tibet’s past and present, which was our goal. In short, we can recommend to anyone who might be considering using their services.

    I am back home now. Thank you for helping me achieve my dream. Tibet is an amazing place. I left my heart in Tibet. I will definitely travel to Tibet again to find my heart in the future. I am very pleased with the trip. On the way to Shigatse, we saw the real Yark and Tent beside the road. We go to visit the local people here to learn their real life. It really impressed me. Please convey my thank to my guide and driver. They did an excellent job.

    I really want to thank all of you. From the initial booking to the end of our vacation, everything was wonderful. The hotels were very good. In Lhasa especially. The western breakfast at Lhasa hotel was very good. For lunch and dinner, our guide Danzhen picked great restaurants and were there to help us order if we needed it. Meanwhile, he had good information and we enjoyed hearing about the history and context for the sites we visited. Lhasa city had many majestic buildings, magnificent temples, history. Yamdroktso Lake was so beautiful. We were already attracted by this beauty. In fact, my bag was missing in Shigatse, and Danzhen helped me find it. He saved my trip!

    My friend recommended Great Tibet Tour to us. This time,we booked a tour with them to the western Tibet region of Everest Base Camp, Shishapangma and Peiku Lake. My guide and driver were both highly professional and never once complained when I asked them to stop for many times to take a photo. All of the hotels I stayed in were ok for us, we understand the condition in Tibet lags behind Beijing, Shanghai or Chengdu. We saw and experienced many amazing things on our trip. The scenery is breathtaking. You really should go there and experience by yourselves, then you can tell how beautiful it is. I won’t forget this trip forever. We took some beautiful pictures. Can you please send my photo to our guide? He is really helpful for us. Thank you for all again.

    This trip gave us a chance to explore the Villages, holy lake, monasteries, and landscapes in Tibet. In addition, we also learnt much about Tibetan food, lifestyle Tibet history, and Buddhist culture. We( me and my wife) were very enjoyable. We had made much preparation about how to avoid the altitude sickness before we flied to Lhasa. So we felt good after we landed in Lhasa. We were also told that we would have much time on the vehicle before the tour, as we would go to Shigatse then EBC. Lobsang was very nice patient and knowledgeable. He is the most humorous guide I have ever met.

    Hi, my friends. I’m very busy since I come back from Tibet, hope it will not be late. Last month, I joined the 8 Days Mt.Everest Group Tour, it was a wonderful journey. The weather was so great that day, we can see the Everest clearly; I sat in the tent and watched the starry sky and see the Milky Way in the evening. But in the middle night, I started to have a headache and felt very cold. The altitude of 5,200 meters made me difficult to adapt. Fortunately, with the help of my tour guide Dazhen, everything became good the next day. I am also very grateful to my travel consultant Lily for organizing this trip for me, as it is a journey of my mind. Thank you all again.
