Top 10 Western China Tours

What an amazing time - needless to say Tibet is absolutely beautiful. The people, the food, the monasteries, it’s all incredible. However, one person made it even more special. And that was Mrs Choezom. We simply couldn’t have asked for a more perfect guide. Mrs Choezom was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable - but more importantly she was genuinely proud to show off her amazing home. Coming from the UK, we were worried that maybe the language barrier could be difficult, but Mrs Choezom spoke incredible English and taught us so much about her culture. She consistently went above and beyond her duty to make us feel comfortable and happy. No request was ever too much. So thankyou, especially to Mrs Choezom. This incredible experience wouldn’t have been the same without you. I’m not one to usually write reviews, but I think it’s important for people to know just how great she was. I highly recommend both China highlights and especially Mrs Choezom.

Unsere 9-t?gige Tour wurde perfekt von Tutu (China Highlights) geplant. Wir sind von Shanghai nach Xining geflogen und dort in den Lhasa Zug gestiegen. Ein Traum. So haben wir uns über 2 Tage der H?he von Lhasa gen?hert. Ich war. Mit meiner Tochter und einen chinesischen Kollegen dort. Angekommen wurden wir von Herrn Zhao einen tollen deutschsprachigen Reiseleiter freundlich nach tibetanischer Sitte (Schal) am Bahnhof in Empfang genommen. Herr Zhao hat uns unser Reise bis zum Base Camp Everest und zurück zu einen wahren Erlebnis werden lassen. Er hat sich um alles gekümmert, angefangen vom der Besten Location für Sunrise/Sundown, auf der Suche nach den Besten Restaurants,……und hat uns die vielen Kl?ster und Tempel auf dem Weg so erkl?rt, dass keines langweilig wurde. Das Highlight in Lhasa ist natürlich der Potala Palast, Mit unserem Fahrer Yan sind wir dann zum Mount Everest aufgebrochen. Herr Yan ist ein sehr sicherer und freundlicher Fahrer, der für uns einige überstunden gemacht hat, um dorthin zu kommen wo wir wollten. Unser absolutes Highlight war natürlich das Base Camp Everest. Dem Everest gegenüber zu stehen war ein erhebendes Gefühl, was jeder erlebt haben müsste. Ich kann nur sagen: Toll, Toll, Toll. Wir haben die Reise extrem genossen. Vielen Dank an Tutu für die tolle und perfekte Planung und Organisation, unseren sehr angenehmen Reiseleiter Herr Zhao und unseren umsichtigen Fahrer Yan. Gunter

We joined 6 day trip (Lhasa and Shigatse) with China Highlights/Tibet Vista. We have learned a lot about Tibet's history, culture, beliefs and lifestyle. The trip was running smoothly and relaxing. It was very well organized. People always respected of time. The chosen hotels were amazing - good locations, nice views, clean, spacious and nice breakfast. Our guide was Jenny. She was very friendly, helpful and always smiling. She was very knowledgeable like a history professor. We left the group earlier than the rest as our trip was 6 days, while others went further to Everest Base Camp. So another guide (not our original guide, Jenny) would travel back to Lhasa with us and the other person would drive us to the airport. The coordination between guides and drivers were seamless. We were always informed of next steps. We didn't feel left out or abandoned. All guides and drivers were punctual, nice, friendly and professional. Despite of language barrier, all of them were very patient and helpful. All of these not included other tour members who were very nice and easy going.
