Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

    My husband and I recently went to Bhutan with Breakfree and had an amazing time! Bhutan has been my number one bucket list country for decades and finally getting to go was a dream come true. The booking experience was seamless, the customer service was great (even when we had to cancel and reschedule due to covid), and our time in the country was incredible. Our guide Sonam was knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a time we will never forget. We hope to come back again!

    My family and I visited Bhutan for five days in the end of November 2023 and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable trip for all of us. Deki, from Bhutan Best Inbound Tour was our point of contact. She drafted our itinerary in the way we wanted giving us a mix of relaxing hikes, hot spring dips, and an experience of the local way of life apart from the main attractions. She was flexible and prompt in her responses also made her self available on her off days to help answer our queries.

    Tandin Dorji was our guide through the trip and he was very patient and helpful throughout especially when we trekked to Tigers Nest (we took 8 hours and he walked along with us patiently without ever making us feel we are taking too long). He even carried our bags as we found it tough to trek with it. We had read good reviews about him and were happy to know that he would be our guide and I must say that we were not disappointed. Not only did he have good knowledge but he was also very courteous and helpful, always checking if were comfortable.

    A special thanks to Ugyen Phuntsho, who carefully drove us around for 7 days and waited for us at the base of the Tigers Nest as we returned 8 hours later! We also got a chance to experience a natural hot spring, Chubu Tshachu, known for its medicinal value. The drive upto the hot spring was about 2 hours (one way) with farm roads for more than half the journey. Ugyen was patient and careful through the tough drive with a smile always.

    We had our pickup and drop from Siliguri to Thimpu and vice versa arranged through the agency itself and the coordination between the Indian driver (upto the border) and Tandin and Ugyen (from Phuentsholing to Thimpu) was perfect without us having to spend any time waiting for the pick up on the other side. The agency also arranged our e-permit for us in advance and this saved our time in the immigration office at the border.

    Overall, our trip was well planned and we were put up in comfortable hotels and had delicious food both local and Indian. Deki, Tandin and Ugyen were always polite and helpful and made it a pleasant experience for us.

    Bhutan is a beautiful country, different from anything we have seen before. The simple way of life in the midst of untouched nature is a rare thing these days and leaves us with a lot of food for thought. It was interesting to learn about the Buddhist principles and beliefs and we go back refreshed and ready to incorporate some of their principles in our daily life.

    Thank you, Bhutan Best Inbound Tour for making our experience so comfortable and enjoyable. We really didn't have to worry about a thing as we knew we were in safe hands from the time we started interacting!

    A fantastic trip that I would highly recommend. From the minute we were picked up at the airport until dropped off a week later we were incredibly well looked after. Each day brought about its own unique sights and experiences and we were lost for words on so many occasions about how breathe taking the temples and forts were. The short hikes we did each day helped to prepare us for the hike up to the Tiger's Nest Monastery which was the highlight of the trip and an experience never to be forgotten. Our guide and driver were superb. The hotels were all very comfortable and the food was gorgeous! It is a trip of a lifetime!

    Very well organised. Hats off to our Tour Guide, Sangay, for going out of the way to meet our requirements. Our bus operator, Tshewang, was also superb - driving so carefully and safely. We really appreciated both of them .
    Thanks to Sangay for making our trip to Bhutan so memorable. Thanks to Tshewang for taking us so safely through our journey.
    We enjoyed the picturesque beauty of Bhutan. Was lovely. So many pictures taken - not enough to capture Bhutan's beauty.
    Good hotels, great food and wonderful experiences.
    Of course, the capping was the trek to Tiger's Nest. Pretty tough, but thanks to Sangay it was so well made easy for us. ,👍

    We had the best time in Bhutan! Thank you Bharat for arranging everything for us. Bharat did all the logistics arrangements and everything went very smoothly. The guide and driver are friendly and knowledgeable about all the Bhutanese history, culture and geography. If you are going Bhutan, go with these guys. They are the best.

    I booked my taxi for my Bhutan trip with Your Trip Planner
    I got rates from 4 - 5 agencies, some higher and some little lower but I had telephonic discussion with Mr Sanju Das and I was very much impressed with his way of talking/behaviour
    From the pick up from Bagdogra and drop in Darjeeling we were very much comfortable with the taxis he provided and remain in touch with us, thanks to him
    I recomend him for and travel related services

    Bhutan is an amazing country, and I had a great time visiting! When I first contacted Deepak of Raven Tours and Treks, I let him know what I wanted to see and do, and he prepared a great itinerary for me. Tour guide Nim and driver Jiwan were fabulous hosts. Nim was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we saw and was able to answer all of my questions about Bhutan's culture, flora and fauna. Jiwan knows the winding roads of Bhutan amazingly well. We never missed a turnoff, even in the most remote villages. The hotels they booked for me were all good, and I enjoyed all of the activities planned. Seeing the black-necked cranes and hiking up to the Tiger's Nest were just two of the many highlights of this trip. If you're looking to visit Bhutan, I highly recommend traveling with Raven Tours and Treks!

    Explored Bhutan on a delightful 6-day tour with Bhutan Acorn Tours and Travel in October 2023. Bhutan, an enchanting and tranquil country, feels like a world of its own, surrounded by a profound spiritual ambiance. The warm locals contribute to its inviting atmosphere. The pre-trip communication was seamless, swiftly arranging flights and visas. Received valuable pre-departure tips, such as securing a window seat for a Himalayan view during the flight. In Bhutan, my guide Tshiring and driver Tashi were well-informed, adjusting the itinerary based on my interests and energy levels, making the journey enjoyable and effortless. Bhutan Acorn's accommodations were cozy, including a night in a farmhouse for an immersive cultural experience. Highly recommend embarking on an authentic Bhutanese journey with them, going beyond typical tours.

    We have just finished a fantastic birding tour with Wild Nature Quest formerly Bhutan Birding and Off to Bhutan owned by Norbu. Tshering was a knock out guide who knew every bird and all the songs and calls . Every aspect of the trip including the food prepared by the cook crew and the camping equipment with comfy camp beds and mattresses was wonderfull. But best of all was the incredible organisation by Norbu from visas to visits to peoples houses to discover the life and culture of the people of Bhutan. We enjoyed every day and saw 274 species in the 21 days in November including all the icon birds including both Trogons, Ibisbill, Hornbills of plenty of skulkers such as cupwings the Elachura and wren babblers.

    We had a great experience in Bhutan, after arranging our travels with Kinley in the months before arriving. Kinley was accommodating to all our ideas and wants. Our experience with Kinza as our guide and Wang Da as our driver was wonderful. Both kind and funny people we got along well for the 14 day trip (and we never travel with groups or guides)

    I spent 5 wonderful days in Bhutan thanks to Bhutan Acorn Tours. Already before the travel they were super helpful - they took care of every detail of my visa, helped me to change my flight ticket and gave me useful tips to prepare my travel. They even recommended me where to sit in the plan for te best views on the Himalaya. :) I was warmly welcomed by Lhamo, my guide at the airport and she took absolutely best care of me all the time. She is young, dynamic, and treated the itinerary with absolute flexibility, easily adjusting to my requests or interests. She didnt hesitate to jump with me on a rafting boat, lend me her beautiful traditional dress for a photo, or dance with me in a karaoke bar. While she was fully knowledgable, and I learnt so much about this fascinating country and its culture, she also brought me close to the people, I hiked and ate with her local friends, many of them who are buddhist monks, and learnt incredibly much about, and experienced first-handly, buddhism. These holidays, while they were short, they couldnt have been fuller in terms of the experiences, the knowledge I gained and the fun we had. A big shoutout to Karma, the organiser, who also proved to be very reliable and caring all the time. I cannot recommend this agency enough and I am already thinking when to come back next.
