Tibet Ctrip Travel Service is one reliable agent and great Tibet tour operator. Their Tibetan guide, Tibetan driver and the hotels they offered us were quite nice. Our family appreciated their professional tour service and would be very happy to recommend them to any Tibet travelers. Below is the JPEG format we scanned and additionally we attached some tour photos in Tibet and hope it can be our reference for future tour clients in Tibet. I sincerely wish those guys have more and more tourists from abroad because they are working hard and friendly to local communities, local economy and they deserve our recommendation. Follow their Tibet travel advices to explore the roof top of the world-Tibet.

Tibet Tour Agency Recommendation by Shirley and Kath from Sydney Australia

Group code: 20110410-P2 Shirley and Kath from Sydney

Dear Tony,

Thank you for your Tibet tour services which we really enjoyed in our 13 days tour of Tibet and want to recommend you and your agency. You did an excellent job of arranging everything for our travel to and in Tibet. I do not feel that your work or the tour could have been any better.

We were pleased with your Tibetan guide and your safe Tibetan driver Mr. Kelsang La, and the hotel. Our tour guide was really friendly, knowledgeable and always took good care of us two girls. And we enjoyed our Train travel back to Shanghai at the end of the trip. We were deeply impressed by the services your staff could offer us. Thanks a million!
And of course I would definitely recommend your services to any family or friends who were interested in traveling to Tibet.
In closing, we were both very pleased. I cannot think of anything that needs to be improved.

Thanks for your assistance,
Sherley and Kathy, shirloshirl at gmail Dot com, straysheep_is At hot mail dot com
