- KKathryn· April 15th, 2025This tour was fantastic! Time flew by, and I didn’t even realize it had ended. Our guide, Lobsang, was friendly and knowledgeable, teaching us a ton about fascinating Tibetan culture. The driver was enthusiastic, and everything ran smoothly. The altitude sickness was kinda annoying, but their crew took excellent care of me, and I recovered quickly. Highly recommend!Show more

Mira· March 17th, 2025My trip to Lhasa was absolutely unreal! Our driver, Dorje, was highly skilled. Our guide, Jigme, was like a walking storybook, making every temple and street feel alive. The Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple? Mind-blowing. So much history, and so much beauty—I couldn’t stop taking pictures! The momo dumplings were to die for, but yak butter tea? Let’s just say it’s... an acquired taste, haha. Lhasa is pure magic, and I’m already dreaming about going back.Show moreTrip date: January 2025- MARTA· September 16th, 2024Automatic translation available in English.

Great Tibet Tour commented on this reviewThank you for your kind words and the excellent rating. We are lucky to have customers like you. I'm grateful for the opportunity of working with you for your Tibet tour and wishing the best for you.Trip date: September 2024 - Vviolaschaefer· March 18th, 2024I spent four unforgettable days in Lhasa, Tibet. Thank you for all the services you provided me. The hotel we stayed at in downtown Lhasa was quite comfortable and had a Tibetan style. The facilities were complete, and the service was attentive. Additionally, it was conveniently located near the attractions, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lhasa. In Lhasa, I encountered many devout monks and pilgrims. Their faith left a deep impression on me and helped me gain a deeper understanding of the charm of Tibetan Buddhism. My favorite part was relaxing in the teahouses and drinking butter tea, which was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. The weather in Lhasa was also fantastic, and the shade under the trees was very refreshing. I am very satisfied with this trip. Thank you! TerryShow moreTrip date: October 2023

Asked on April 3rd, 2025We are interested in this tour but our main concern is the visa entrance for Tibet, we are flying from Changdú to Lhasa. Are we in time to tramit the entrance and when would you give us the visa once we pay the tour.
- Great Tibet TourOperator•Written April 2025
We can apply for your Tibet Travel Permit with the copy of your passport and China Visa. It takes about 12 days. May I know if you have a China Visa?
- Great Tibet TourOperator•Written April 2025
Please do not mention Tibet(Lhasa) during your China Visa application. If you mention that you would travel to Tibet during your stay in China, China Embassy would require you to present Tibet Tourism Bureau Permit.
