Customer Reviews

  • Pamela
    · May 19th, 2023
    Oriental Journey's was a great tour company to work with both before and during my trip. They quickly and respectfully answered all my inquiries and were very patient with me. Machhindra was so professional pre travel and when I arrived in Nepal, Deepak Mahat met me and spent a few hours with me to make sure all the details in my itinerary were locked down. In Bhutan the ABC/Druk tour groups took such good care of me. My guide Mr. Kuenzang Tenzin was probably the best guide I have ever had (and I have been to close to 60 countries). He listened to my needs and desired and made the itinerary work for me specifically. He was friendly, sensitive, professional and so truly represented all I came to experience in Bhutan. My driver Jigme Sonam was not only an excellent and professional driver in tricky driving conditions, he was flexible sensitive to my needs. The guide and driver were all part of my team; or, at least, that is how they made me feel. The driver in Nepal was equally skilled and responsible. My guides in Nepal Amil Mahat and Nabin Dhakal were also excellent...warm, welcoming, informed, flexible and thoughtful. All hotels were great as was the food. I loved both Bhutan and Nepal and the trip itinerary gave me enough of a taste of both countries to know I will return and when I do I will use Oriental Journeys and ABC/Druk tour groups again and the same guides if possible.

    I came to book my Nepal and Bhutan Cultural tour for 9 days with Oriental Journeys obeying a recommendation from one of my friends and it was the right decision. It is best tour to experience the culture of Kathmandu valley and its heritage sites and culture of Bhutan. Both of the country look similar but Bhutan is more pristine. Love to tell more friends to experience this tour. Thanks.
