This was a unique experience compared to a regular tour in different countries. The tour was organized from arrival to departure, itinerary, hotel and meals provided all day long. We were there for only 2 nights and wished to have stayed longer. Country is very clean, old fashioned and well preserved culture. Would recommend to everyone who looks for a different kind of adventure.

This was a very well planned and an amazing tour. Things went without a glitch. We got to see quite a few places in Bhutan though it was a short visit. Guide and driver were amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Country is so so very beautiful. The hike up Tigers Nest would stay with us forever. Can’t recommend this enough. They even plan your visa. All we needed to do was just book this one through Viator and rest was taken care of. We didn’t even have to think about our food and there is plenty for vegetarians like me. One of my favorite trips!

Yonten (Guide) and Jimmy (Driver) make a wonderful team. My time in Bhutan was very short (2-days) and I was extremely happy to have been paired with such experienced individuals. Yonten knows so much history about Bhutan, the many different temples and Jimmy's skillful driving made the time just fly-by. Yonten's lessons were so good, I started recording them so I could revisit them later. The first day visiting Thimphu (Sitting Buddha, Royal Takin Preserve, etc.) was very enlightening about the religious and natural history of Bhutan. Along the roadside, Yonten spotted some men playing darts and he insisted we stop for a moment to watch. I had never seen anything like it before. We ended watching for more than 30 minutes, enjoying each time a player scored and the teams danced. The Second Day was all about the hike to Tiger's Nest. Yonten's Stamina is beyond compare. For a 63 y.o. I felt I did pretty well to keep up with him, making it to the top in just under 2 hours. Inside Tiger's Nest, no electronics are allowed. The monastery is beautiful and the many shrines and temples are breath-taking. Yonten's explanation on the founding of the monastery was spell-binding. Bad demons, charmed by good to be become the protector of the monastery. The story was well-told and well worth the climb. Once inside there is a special chamber where one can see the 'Tiger's Nest'. It is not for the faint of heart or claustrophobic, but well worth it.
My advise for anyone considering a trip to Bhutan, stay for more than just two days. Do not expect the Four-Season/Hyatt hotel experience . Be open minded to new ideas and definitely request Yonten and Jimmy.

Fantastic experience! Guide Choki and driver Jimmy was amazing, they had organised every little detail so I could just enjoy. Bhutan is such a wonderful country with the kindest people and fantastic sights, and Choki was so generous in answering my questions and sharing history and his knowledge. They were also very attentive and managed to customise the tour to my interest.
10/10 would absolutely recommend! Thanks Choki, Jimmy and team for incredible days!

It was a well packed two days hitting the major highlights in Thimpu and Paro, including Tiger’s Nest and the respective Forts of the 2 cities. Everything went smoothly thanks to Karma, the guide including airport pickup and dropoff

I cant find one thing to complain about. My guide and driver were excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I feel the tour was very comprehensive for a 2 day visit to Bhutan. The hotel accommodations were posh and exceeded my expectations. Food was delicious. The trip to Paro Taktsang was fantastic and memorable, along with some great other stops on the first day. I appreciate some extra's my guide offered, a hot stone bath (cost additional) was very relaxing after 4 hour hike. They also took me to an ATM and to shops for souvenirs at my request. So grateful for a wonderful tour
