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.
