Merece la pena ver todo lo que vimos

ignacio_b, Aug 2024

Merece la pena loe Monasterios, Templos, Palacios y Vistas Hoteles mejorables especialmente el que nos dejaron cerca del Everest con baño sucio y desayuno muy muy muy pobre Desayunos no internacionales Casi perdemos el vuelo de vuelta porque tardaron sobre la hora acordada 45 minuos lo que exigió correr y nervios. Guías con poco contenido histórico y cultural Éramos 3 personas en la parte de atrás de un coche. Mi amiga le tocó en medio con la consiguiente incomodidad. Eso es impresentable. Restaurantes recomendados muy locales y sin comida internacional. Mucho control continuo de permisos

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for taking your precious time to write a review for us and give us suggestions. I will answer back your feedback one by one. 1. We will change to another hotel per your feedback in the future. We changed it to a guesthouse from a Nomad tent which hasn't a bathroom and breakfast without an extra fee. Its price is 90% more than a Nomad Tent, with a private bathroom and breakfast, though it's very easy. 2. I'm very sorry for the late drop-off because of the driver, If this causes any damage, please let me know and we will find the driver to pay for it. 3. As for the guide, some previous guests reported that the tour guides’ explanations were too profound and they couldn’t understand many parts. Some tour guides have improved their explanations by simplifying them to make them easier to understand. 4. The car we arranged is a Toyota which is the best vehicle in Tibet, we can arrange the 8-seat vehicle if you tell me or the guide on the first day. 5. There are only international restaurants like Nepal and Indian food in Lhasa and Shigatse. The guide may misunderstand your idea because most of the travelers want to try the local food. All in all, thanks for your suggestions, and we will improve the points you mentioned. Hope you have a good day!
