Tibet Everest Base Camp Adventure-German Travelers Reviews 2014
Travelers' Name: Athi Pisuthipun and Komchai Kavinakarathiti (see handwriten Tibet Travel-Everest Landscape review)
Nationality: Thailand
Tibet Travel Period: June7-13, 2014
"Tony is very responsive and make our urgent Tibet trip possible. Even through that we missed Everest base camp because of our wrong passport information we provided to the agency (it is not agent's fault), he tried to arrange our optional travel well. However the food in remote area in Tibet is really bad, if we ask agent to arrange all the meals for us, that would be great. All in all, Tony and Tibet Ctrip Travel service team arranged our Top urgent booking very smoothly. I can not imagine their permits application speed and delivery service (we provided our passports copies only about 6 days in advance). Thank you and we would love to visit Tibet again in the future---Athi and Komchai"
