    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.

    What a fantastic trip! At the moment, Westerners can only explore Tibet with a tour guide, and so I would heartily recommend you go with this tour company - everything was very well organised, right from the booking process to the tour itself, which covered everything we wanted to see. Our guide Kal Dor was exceptional - friendly & fun while still being professional and well organised, and very informative without ever being boring. We really couldn’t have hoped for a better guide. The driver too, was fantastic - we felt very safe on the twisty, switchback roads over the mountains and high passes. The minibus was clean, comfortable and water & oxygen were supplied.

    Olga

    Asked on November 27th, 2023

    What is the price of the single room supplement on the 17 day full moon tour? And is the single room available at every location?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Tibet VistaOperatorWritten November 2023

      Single room is available at every location, we will arrange travelers to stay in 3-star hotel in Lhasa and Shigatse, but only guesthouses are available on the way to Everest Base Camp and Mt.Kailash as these places are located very far from big cities.
