    Bhutan has so much to offer: breathtaking scenery, peaceful monasteries/temples, beautiful fortresses, friendliest people, history, and unique food. World Tour Plan makes your time in and traverse through Bhutan seamless. They were very responsive to questions before and after booking. They accommodated special requests such as visiting a festival or stops not listed in the itinerary. The nine day itinerary in Bhutan was perfectly planned and I truly enjoyed each and every site visited. Namgay, guide, and Yeshi, driver, were wonderful. They took care of us like family and always made sure we were well taken care of. My time in Bhutan was magical and relaxing and World Tour Plan’s expert planning, Namgay, and Yeshi ensured I had that full experience. Highly recommend!

    We loved our tour; Kingdom in the Clouds-Walking Holidays with World Tour Plan. Our private guide & driver, Singgay & Namgay, were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, friendly and fun to spend time with. They were also flexible with our plans. It was nice to spend as much or as little time as we wanted at sites and they were quick to come up with alternatives when the weather changed or we got behind in the schedule. They even switched hotels at the last minute when they found out they hotel did not give us the view rooms they had requested. We enjoyed hiking 8 out of the 11 days instead of spending time in a bus or driving through the country. The tour also includes glamping above Tiger's Nest. Hiking down to Tiger's Nest gave us a unique view of the temples. It also meant we did not have to hike up to Tiger's Nest with the hoards of tourists. Instead we had a peaceful walk through the woods and past small monasteries on the way to Tiger's Nest. I can't recommend this tour & tour company enough.

    The wonderful days in Bhutan became unforgettable memories. A lush forest covered in greenery, warm smiles of people, leisurely relaxed dogs, cows and horses made me feel happy too. This meaningful journey was made possible by great assistance of WORLD TOUR PLAN, especially by my knowledgeable and friendly guide Singye and skilled and kind driver Namgay. Thank you for everything, WORLD TOUR PLAN!
