The trip was amazing. Learning about Tibetan culture, and seeing the sights on Lhasa was fantastic. The tour guide choezom was very informative and helpful. Just a warning, bring some cash. You can't use Chinese sim cards on Tibet unless you're a Chinese citizen, so you can't use WeChat/alipay in a lot of situations.
MoreAnd, in Lhasa, our guide Sonam (Tenphel) was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, a great communicator, an excellent photographer (he took many, many of our pics), he solved problems, knew what gates weee busy and found alternatives, was flexible with our plans and explained a lot abo
MoreWe had a three days in Lhasa with Khalsa. She was above and beyond our expectations. Kind, knowledgeable and accommodating all our needs. She shared stories about the Tibetan life, took us to special eateries as I am a vegetarian. When we had to climb the numerous steps to Potala palace she helped me up and was patient when I needed a break every 20 seconds. She knows her material in and out. We went Drepung and spent many hours there exploring the different rooms then we went to the summer palace with its beautiful gardens and the cherry on top of the cake was temple Jokhang with the original Buddha from the time he was alive. On the second day we went to see the monks debating in Sera monastery. I’d say Khamsa made our trip perfect. Highly recommended.
MoreKhamsang, our guide was outstanding. She has a wealth of knowledge about Tibetan history and culture. She was flexible and accommodated our needs. Our highlights were Potala Palace, Yamdrok Lake and the Family Kitchen cooking class.
MoreDurante nuestra luna de miel, tuvimos la suerte de ir a Lhasa y el privilegio de contar con Gelek como guía haciendo que nuestra experiencia fuera inolvidable.Gelek nos recibió con una cálida bienvenida, demostrando que es un excelente anfitrión, con gran conocimiento y pasión por la cultura y la historia.Pudimos conocer lugares fascinantes y emblemáticos, como el Palacio Potala, el Monasterio de Sera o el Lago Yamdrok, entre otros, cada momento fue enriquecedor y memorable.Además, nos llevó a restaurantes locales con una deliciosa comida, y se aseguró de que tuviéramos todo lo necesario para sentirnos cómodos y seguros durante todo el viaje.Gelek se preocupó genuinamente por nuestro bienestar. Estuve bastante regular, con el mal de altura y deshidratación. Gelek actuó con prontitud para asegurarse de que recibiera la atención y el cuidado necesarios.
MoreOur guide in Tibet, Yangkyi, was incredible, also. When our flight into Lhasa was turned around due to inclement weather, she remained in close communication with us and really worked hard to ensure we were able to see the things we wanted to see in our remaining time. She was able to get us into Potala Palace before the afternoon crowds and immediately recognized that my husband was suffering from a slight case of altitude sickness due to the elevation. She gave us excellent advice on how to deal with his altitude sickness and even brought oxygen for him when we visited Yamdrok Lake and the nearby glacier which are at an even higher elevation than Lhasa.
MoreTashi , the local guide assigned to us by China Highlights was punctual, knowledgeable, engaging and most importantly, very attentive to our needs. He embodied all the critiria I expected in a competent guide. He coorinated well with the driver to ensure that we were safe and comfortable throughout pur long road journies.
MoreOur guide in Tibet, Yangkyi, was exceptional. Her command of the English language is better than most native-speakers and she has a thorough knowledge of Chinese history and Tibetan culture that enriched our experience immeasurably
MoreYangki has been an incredible guide in our trip to Tibet. She teach us a lot of the history and culture of her land. She was also very kind helping us to find some comfy food for one of us that arrived in Lhasa with stomach ache. They provide us a lot of water and oxygen in case of need and made us have a great time in Lhasa and Yamdrok Yumtso lake.
Morehe Tibet tour is probably the best tour I've been on -- my guide Sonam and driver Norbu were both excellent -- they were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I've learned so much about the Tibetan Buddhism and culture from Sonam. Highly recommend!
MoreI experienced a lot in a short time, all being perfectly arranged by advisor Liberman and excellently managed by tour guides Ethan in Beijing, Yushi in Lhasa and Kris in Shanghai. They all were very kind, patient, ready to answer any question, helpful with my needs. I really enjoyed the trip!
MoreI recently embarked on an unforgettable journey to Tibet, a land steeped in mysticism and rich cultural heritage. My train trip on the famous scenic Qinghai route on train Y971 Lhasa played a significant role in making this trip an extraordinary experience.Upon my arrival in Lhasa via an overnight train, I was warmly welcomed by the guide assigned Tenzin Lhatse. He had waited for more than 3 hours as he was not informed there was a change in the train schedule. Nontheless, it did not dampen his warm attitude and the seamless transferfrom the train station to the hotel set a positive tone for my stay.The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the visit to the iconic Potala Palace. The sheer grandeur and architectural brilliance of this historic site left me in awe. The guidance of my knowledgeable tour guide, who revealed the stories behind each shrine, enriched my experience. However, the strict visitor limits and rules underscored the importance of preserving this ancient marvel. The Old Barkhor Street Walking Tour was a journey through time. From Jokhang Temple to the bustling local market, each stop offered insights into Tibetan daily life and folk customs. The Pandatsang Compound's history and the cup of Tibetan sweet tea at Ani Tsangkhung Nunnery added unique flavors to the tour.Overall, my journey through Tibet was an incredible odyssey into a world of spirituality, culture, and natural beauty. I'm glad to have taken this step with my wife to challenge the train ride which was totally worthy of this lifetime.
MoreFourteen (14) days of summer vacation in celebration of our 25th could not have been better spent, 12 days on the Tibetan plateau as arranged by China Highlights was really an experience of a lifetime. Altitude effects people differently. 2 full days in Xining provided a great introduction to the culture while the overnight train to Lhasa allowed for acclimation to the altitude to help assure our tine would be spent with minimal potential down time. Within Tibet, the experience was outstanding. Our guide, Tenzin Lhatse was the perfect companion for the entire trip providing an excellent understanding of the history and the culture while allowing for some day-to-day flexibility to keep the tourist volume relatively level. His 18 years of guide experience was definitely a benefit as the movement through the Potala Palace and all of the monasteries, temples, and natural landmarks was second nature. There was never a drive to just get through the process and instead there was always an ability to stop at a point of particular interest in order to receive a little more focus. The vast knowledge amassed over history combined with the unparalleled spirituality proved to establish the condition for an amazing experience; working through China Highlights for sure elevated everything to an incredibly high level. Much thanks to China Highlights with special mention to Tenzin. Rob & Tess McBean
MoreAmazing experience exploring Tibet with China Highlights Our guide was Manos! He is amazing! Great person so knowledgeable! He is patient and makes a great effort to accommodate the group needs I booked this with Maggie in china highlights and she was very helpful to accommodate my plans
MoreIn case you didn't know, ALL foreigners MUST be on an organized tour to visit Tibet. However, what was great about this China Highlights tour was that we were givenq the choice of what kind of hotel to stay in (3 or 4 stars), and though the days were planned, our tour guide gave us a lot of flexibility (on day seven he let us decide as group if we wanted to see another monastery... we had had our full by then!) and the evevings were always free. The culture, the scenery and the people of Tibet are almost indescribable, and I was moved so many times and in multiple places. That said, what really made my time traveling aacoss Tibet so fulfiling was our tour guide, E. Ten Zin. He dealt with seven different personalities with professional ease, communicated clearly what was happening at all times (there are multiple check points, so he needed to take our passports frequently), had an answer for every question and topic, and quickly learned what each of us liked and gave us more of that... I was quietly fascinated by some farmland, and E. Ten Zin took me aside, took my camera and said "you need a photo here". And when we arrived at Everest and she was hiding behind some clouds, he sat down, patted the ground beside him for us to join him and told us "just wait. You will see"... half an hour later, he was right, and Everest was spectacular. This was not my first time with China Highlights, and it won't be my last. Highly highly recommended.
MoreAbsolutely delighted with the service given by Albee Ning in planning my holiday this coming autumn. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she has a lovely way of letting me know when my suggestions don’t work! I’m looking forward to making the trip and will DEFINITELY use Albee again for 2024!
MoreMy trip to tibet was a great experience. The booking agent worked fast and was easy to communicate with. The guide was very knowledgeable about every aspect of Tibetan religion and doctrines. He is very fluent in 3 languages and made everything very accessible. The drive was kind enough to have me visit his family home for lunch. I enjoyed seeing all the monasteries and temples all over the Himalayas
MoreThe tour guide, Kunchok, was very knowledgeable about the history of the monasteries and the statues found in all of them. The driver Tubden was kind enough to have me visit his family and have lunch with them so I could see traditional Tibetan lifestyle and culture. There are monasteries all throughout the mountains and everything looks beautiful. The statues and structures inside the palaces and monasteries are unlike anything you can see anywhere else.
MoreBreathtaking views, fascinating temples and palaces, amazing wildlife. Special thanks to Maggie at China Highlights, to Phurpu and Champa, and to all the Tibetan people who went out of their way to be so kind and helpful!
MoreHi, I’m very satisfied with my China Highlight tour in Lhasa, Tibet. Our guide Kamshang was really nice to us. Although we’re all having difficulties adjusting with the thin air, but everything went smoothly on scheduled. She suggested an authentic Tibetan restaurant, and it was excellent. It was the first time we tried Yak Burger, and we loved it We visited Potala Palace, Norbulingka, Jokhang Temple, Drepung and Sera Monastery in only two days, and she managed the time perfectly. In addition to that, we still had our shopping time in Barkor Street, and she helped us bargaining and showing some very good Tibetan local shops.
MorePlanning a trip to Lhasa has been made seamless with the help of our guide, Roger! His expertise, patience, and insightful suggestions have been invaluable in crafting the perfect itinerary. Roger has been diligent in addressing all our queries, making this planning phase a breeze. Highly recommend his services!
More17 years after our first visit, we came back to Lhasa with high expectations. We were keen to see how it had changed and adapted to the supersonic development of China. Our guide Lhapka sensed our wishes quickly and gave us a superb tour that included all the cultural highlights and explanations we were looking for. Thank you so much!
MoreThis time I decided to go on a small group trip to Tibet. All formalities were completed in due time, and the proposed route met my expectations. Immersing yourself in the Tibetan culture with local guide Phurbu was a real pleasure. The views of Mount Everest and Tibetan nature were breathtaking.
