    The tour was wonderfully planned in terms of schedule, with activities that were well organized and included alternative attractions and experiences. We had the opportunity to try food at local restaurants, which was very impressive. We would like to express our appreciation for the tour guides and driver on different locations, who made our trip to Bhutan truly memorable. They were incredibly hospitable, enthusiastic, and helpful.

    Asked on March 10th, 2025

    Bhutan heritage tour. We are looking at different Bhutan tours for some dates in May and June of this year. We have a few questions 1) Most tours have a add on Development fee of around $1000 per person, you your tour had no mention of it, so is it included in the price? 2) Do you assist with visa's ( from Australia ) 3) On day 4 you have a trek but my wife can not walk far, so what are her options? 4) We DO NOT want a private tour and we would only consider booking if we were with other people in a group. The dates we are looking at are ....20th May, or either 13th, 21st and 29th June 2025
