    Well organized tour. A lot to see and do in just a few days. The guide, the driver and especially Amy from Tibet Vista head office in Chengdu went off their regular work to make the tour happen.

    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.
