The operator have been fantastic from first contact by Dorji to dropping us off at the airport with a hug goodbye! We booked an 8 night trip with them and asked for a mixture of activity, culture and rest and they put together the perfect blend. We had an experienced, friendly guide, Kinley who accompanied us. Kinley had a real depth of knowledge about the rich history, religion and culture of Bhutan and she told this in a way that helped us to really understand the places we visited from sacred temples to forts to farmhouses and even the football stadium and archery. With us were also a driver and bike mechanic who were always friendly, polite and helpful with bags, bikes and making us comfortable. The trip was very well organised in terms of timings, flights (from Kathmandu to Paro) and entry tickets to sights, temples, restaurants, traditional hot stone bath, shopping and accommodation. We had very responsive and informative communication from first contact. We were made to feel welcome in the local farmhouses we ate at and safe on our bikes as Kinley alerted us to pot holes, speed bumps, on coming traffic or cows in the road! The accommodation was great. The hotels were clean, comfortable and very spacious. The level of physical activity was perfect for us and again we had plenty of communication about what to expect and how hard/easy the treks or bike rides would be. The food was plentiful, delicious, fresh, nutritious and diverse. We ate at local restaurants, cafes, farmhouses and had picnics complete with a table on a riverside beach. We would definitely recommend the local operator and use them again for a visit to Bhutan. Thank you all!Sauming Pang review 5 Nov 2018
