Customer Reviews
Everything went as scheduled. The tour was expensive comparing to other offers, but we wanted to have everything taken care for the whole stay in Lhasa. I wish the tour could have included entrance fees and meals. Paying them extra made tis tour one of the most expensive offered through Viator. As with other tours we had in China, nobody cares to provide you bottled water as described in the details. My advice is to print the itinerary and share with the tour guide as they do not know exactly what you expect.
