Summary:
Had a wonderful time in Lhasa. Our tour guide Lopsong was excellent, very knowledgeable and super friendly. Any issues that arose on the way he quickly solved. Holly (our agent) was equally helpful, thank you both for making our trip so memorable! The tour itself included all the main highlights - beautiful monasteries, mountains, lakes and the old town of Lhasa. And at a pace that suited me (very active) and my mum who liked a slower pace. Highly recommend!
