Wow - what an incredible trip! Bhutan is absolutely beautiful with so much to see, I wish I had booked for a longer trip. My guide Norbu was so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. This tour combined history, culture, food, and daily life so well I feel like I got a slice of everything and learned so much about the country itself. The resorts I stayed at were lovely too. Major shoutouts to Norbu and our driver Nedup for making this an unforgettable experience!Show more

I really have a nice and memorable trip to Bhutan. Mr. Karma of Bhutan Acorn Tours is very helpful in arranging my trip to Bhutan as well as when I have a problem with the rebooking of my flights. He responds fast to all my inquiries about the tour and always checks if everything is fine during the trip. I can say that I really have fun and enjoyed the tour very much as the tour guide, Jigme, and Karma, the driver, were really funny and nice to talk with. Both were accommodating with all of my questions esp. with things related to Bhutan as well as the good areas and view points to take photographs. I was never bored throughout the trip. Jigme is very knowledgeable with all the places I visited. He is so very helpful and accommodating esp. during our 6-hr roundtrip hike to the Tiger’s Nest. Though exhausting, the visit to Paro Takstang/Tiger’s Nest was really the highlight of the whole trip. Bhutanese food and drinks are interesting to try; and the hotel accommodations during the trip are very good. Hotel staffs on two hotels I stayed were very nice and friendly. The meals and accommodation are all worth it. Airport transfers were also good and on time. Jigme and Karma really find a way for me to enjoy the beauty, the culture and good memories of Bhutan. Planning to come back to Bhutan again in the future. The country is very clean; and the culture and the environment is well-preserved. This trip with Bhutan Acorn Tours is highly recommended.Show more
