I have joined a few private tours recently in Egypt, Cambodia and Dubai but this private tour in Bhutan is the best I have experienced so far! Would definitely recommend this tour agency and guide to my friends and all.
We went Bhutan in mid May which is recommended by the tour agency. Mid May is not too cold nor hot and just before the rainy season starts in Bhutan. They arranged a private MPV which is always clean and comfortable (cos our driver will ensure that), a driver and a tour guide for 4 of us for our 7 days 6 nights tour.
Our tour guide is very nice and thoughtful. He would take note of our meal preference and also pay attention to what we like or dislike. He would then take his initiative to incorporate new dishes like local steam fishes, pork or beef etc into our meals for us to try. Also he would surprise us with tea and biscuits at the end of our hikes and local costumes for us to take nice pictures! Also kudo to our driver who carries all these up the mountain for us. We met alot of other tour groups but I have never seen them having such special arrangements like us.
Another thing that we like about this tour is they will bring you to the must go places in Bhutan and yet they will give you a deeper experience about the real Bhutan. The other attractions we went are less crowded and we get to interact with the monks and locals. Also they will prepare some simple hikes during first few days to prep us for our finale which is the tiger nest at the 2nd last day of our tour. This helps us adapt to the high altitude and train us for our final big hike. We are really grateful for their thoughtfulness!
Thanks to Sangay (our tour guide) and Pema Dorji (our driver) for this wonderful Bhutan experience! Also thanks to Bhutan Best Travel and Jaclyn for the suggested itinerary and visa, flight and hotel arrangements!
