Bhutan 6D5N
Our trip in Bhutan was perfect and beyond expectation. I would like to pay special thanks to our exceptional guide who was being kind and considerate all the time. Without him and our lovely driver, none of these would happen. Big thanks also goes to the back office staff for organising the entire itinerary, never impatient with our back-and-forth emails. I never would have imagined that the result out of my random selection of travel agents could be anything closer to what I have experienced. You’re truly a great company that offers great value and put customer’s needs as the top priority. I just wanted to express my gratitude here again, thank you all for the efforts! Bhutan is a beautiful country with so many things to offer, I only caught a glimpse this time as a starter. I will surely choose you again and make referrals to my friends. Thank you very much for the wonderful memory.
