Of course, Tariq and Shehla both went out of their way to take amazing photographs of my husband and I (as Shehla had done on our previous shopping tour). And we made a quick stop to try and find some jewelry for me but ended up striking out. I always appreciated how accommodating and thoughtful they were as a team and Tariq also really helped us out in making sure we got the best deals in transportation across the city.

One thing I truly appreciate is their Tariq’s transparency on how the communities and tourism have been impacted by Covid-19. It is the one universal experience that everyone across the globe shared and I believe it’s critical to understand fellow global citizens to get a glimpse into their lives in this way. I hope others visiting the city get the chance to book a tour with Tariq as he is extremely knowledgeable, kind and good company all around.

The Captain had his sweet son and wife on board, the young lad served us grapes and later we all enjoyed some prosecco (the adults!).  It was a beautiful day and just nice to be viewing the coast from another angle, We did go in a couple of caves in the boat which was impressive. The Captain was talking Italian to some passengers and so there was little commentary but we were happy to soak in the sun. There was a canopy on the boat but hat, sunglasses and sunscreen is a must.
On the return the Captain let our two youngsters drive the boat which they loved!

We met the \"Captain\" at the boat across from Ortigia and had a tour of approximately 14 people.  His name was Michelangelo, but said to call him \"Miggy\".  He seemed cordial at first, but never really acted like he wanted to be there.  His enthusiasm was non-existent.  We soon departed the dock and quickly realized that Miggy was just there to drive the boat and not much else.  There was never any discussion about the history of the area, the caves that we entered, or really anything else.  Miggy just acted disinterested in conducting a tour and it was clear that he only wanted to get through the tour with as little effort as possible.  Miggy had a couple with him that were obviously his friends. They sat in the back of the boat and they all immediately starting smoking cigarettes.  I would say that between the three of them they smoked at least 30 cigarettes in the 2 hour tour.  It was like they were on their own private boat and the passengers were just there taking up space.

Miggy said next to nothing on the entire tour.  He is not a tour guide, but just a boat driver and not a very good one at that.  He was way more interested in hanging out with his friends and looking at his phone.  On much of the boat tour he had his hands off the steering wheel smoking and checking his phone.  There was even one occasion that he steered the boat with his feet while not even looking at the water.  Once the prosecco was poured, he and his friends were more interested in drinking than they seemed interested in his passengers.  His friends also could not keep their hands off of eachother,  which was really weird.  I counted Miggy drank at least 4 glasses of prosecco alone while he had 14 passsengers on a boat.  Drinking alchohol while driving a boat is never acceptable.  At one point, we stopped for a quick swim and only 2 of the passengers decided to jump in because it started to get cold out.  It was a complely dangerous situation because Miggy kepy the outboard engines running even as the swimmers climbed back aboard the boat next to the running engines.

As we returned to the dock and passed unter the bridge with literally 6 inches of clearance, there were no safety discussion and as a matter of fact Miggy laughed as he accelerated under the bridge which is so dangerous.

In short, Miggy is a terrible guide.  He told us nothing on the tour which is part of going on a tour like that in the first place.  He is a terrible Captain and there were many safety issues that were violated.  He drank way too much alchohol to be a safe Captain, and he compromised the safety of all of his passengers.  He came in from a tour right before ours.  How much did he drink during those 2 hours?

I would not recommend this tour to anyone if Miggy is your Captain.  If you show up and he is driiving the boat, please turn around and ask for your money back.  It is a worthless tour and your safety is too important get on a boat with Miggy.',1.0,'2023-10-13T12:18:25Z','REV-FyYArfT2we/nG5HWZ7N7Vlzp4f7TXRkmEy0XGjJ8oxM=','en','jbuch423','TRIPADVISOR'),('71353P4','Aperitif on the boat at Sunset island and sea caves','Wonderful sunset cruise....','Wonderful sunset cruise.

We did not realize that you ought to sit on the correct side of the plane to see the Himalayas, a little hiccup we corrected on the way out. We started out in Paro with a substitute guide and driver, but they were both excellent. However, had quite a bit of trouble getting our atm cards to work while shopping in Paro, we should have brought more cash and converted it at the airport.

The next day we flew to Bumthang Valley and met up the Llendrup, our guide the new driver. We quickly found out that our guide knew everyone and was constantly on his cellphone updating our arrangements and we think some work for his other clients. At the Jakar Tsechu Festival we found that the activities were there for the locals and they were kind enough to share them with us. This was true for all of our trip, we did not see any \"staged\" performances just for the tourist trade. Again the guide surpassed our expectations by getting us comfortable seats overlooking the event, VIP seating for sure, with the head monk (the guides uncle), the governor and head judge of the area making room for us. They fed us lunch, butter tea and coffee as well.

Over the next few days we drove over bumpy roads and visited more monasteries and museums and of course shopping for local handicrafts. Ask you guide to help identify the local from the imported stuff, but after a few shop you will see the difference. We did get to the main post office in Thimpu? which was excellent if you love stamps.

We shifted the trip a bit to try and include things of nature, and this was probably the one big disappointment of the trip, we had hoped to see local birds and animals but had limited success. I think a guide who is focused on nature and knows where to find local species would be needed to make this happen. 

We did get tired of the buffet breakfast and dinner routine and decided to buy meals ala carte. 

We did try the hot stone bath and I would take a hard pass on that, the water was not refreshed between customers and I felt quite ill afterwards, the tubs are not large enough for a 6\' 2\" 240lb man. We did have a nice local meal after and a bit of impromptu karaoke when one of the guide fired up his guitar.

My thoughts: 2 temples and 2-3 museums are enough, it gets repetitive after that. More nature would have been great, easy hikes with wildlife were in short supply.

The guide could not have been better and the driver was careful and all the mountain roads. I would go back in a minute and use Acorn again. 

But never through Kathmandu again, the clean air and scenery of  Bhutan is sorely missing.',5.0,'2019-12-03T17:02:19Z','REV-cxDt9Ycuwt43eKcCRY2dCCrGFsi6oPgzmXHdy1L17K8=','en','tomm623','TRIPADVISOR'),('71355P11','6 Days Explore the Hidden Kingdom of Bhutan','Wonderful trip','Wonderful guide and driver.

My tour in Bhutan was incredible: seeing the unique landscapes in person, learning about Buddhism at the many temples and monasteries we visited, and most of all, the dedication and attentiveness of both my guide, Kezang, and driver, Tashi, throughout the whole tour.

From the get-go, I had a very positive experience interacting with Bhutan Acorn online. When I first enquired about a tour towards the end of 2023, I was told that the government had reduced the Sustainable Development Fee, which I had not known; Bhutan Acorn were transparent and ensured I would not have to pay any more than needed. Furthermore, as I made the booking through their website, I paid for the tour through a bank transfer, and I ended up accidentally paying slightly over the price of the tour. Bhutan Acorn notified me of the overpayment and after my arrival in the country, promptly repaid me.

I was very lucky to have Kezang, to guide me, and Tashi, to transport us, around Bhutan. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and accounted for throughout the whole week. Kezang and Tashi were very patient with answering my questions and took many photos of me. Kezang also communicated what we were doing very clearly each day and I literally and figuratively was able to take a back seat. Both Kezang and Tashi really went beyond ensuring that I was more than comfortable, from accommodating to my preferences for our itinerary, and offering to carry my belongings for me. 

The trip was full of unforgettable highlights. The homestay with Aum Leki in Punakha was very special to experience the way of living of a Bhutanese person. After our hike in Phobjikha Valley, as we had extra time, Kezang took me to the Black Neck Crane Information Centre, which was not part of the itinerary. From there, I was lucky enough to see the last three cranes that had not yet flown back to Tibet for the year! I attended the Annual Paro Tshechu Festival wearing a kira and saw traditional dances. And of course, the hike to Tiger’s Nest was very rewarding. While I was initially concerned that the itinerary would be packed, it definitely did not feel that way for me in reality; I always had time to unwind and did not feel too tired at the end of each day.

Peaceful, restful, relaxing, beautiful are just some of the qualities of both. The history and culture are equally amazing. It is hard to write a review of this experience without sounding like an exaggeration. Bhutan is truly worth the time and effort to visit, and Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel is an exceptional agency with which to experience it. Accommodations were first rate. The people of the country are unbelievably friendly and accommodating.

From the beginning to the end of my initial contact with Acorn I felt the commitment to ensure my every concern was accommodated. Mr. Karma quickly and efficiently secured my visa, flight reservations and travel arrangements with ease and consideration for my individual circumstances. It is hard to put into words the comfort I felt dealing with him. Reliability is only one of them.

On the ground, Mr. Norbu, my guide, and Mr. Nidup, my driver, ensured that I experienced and understood all that I saw. Patience and desire to ensure my trip was enjoyable, educational, and inspiring were clearly their primary goals. Mr. Norbu never tired of my questions even when asked over and over. It was like traveling with two knowledgeable friends. When was the last time you sat watching an archery competition (Bhutan archery is unique) or played a few games of snooker with your driver and guide?

From the seamless online booking process to our departure from Paro, every moment was enchanting. 

Our pre-travel communication with Mr. Karma from Bhutan Acorn was exceptionally smooth. His timely and detailed responses ensured we were well-prepared for the travel, and the efficient handling of the visa procedure by the agency allowed us to obtain the necessary permits promptly – within just four working days. 

Our joy was further amplified by the presence of two outstanding Bhutanese guides, Tashi and Mr. Bumpa. They not only accommodated our last-minute preferences but also prioritized our safety and comfort throughout the journey. During hikes, they adjusted to our pace and made the challenging ascent to the Tiger\'s Nest enjoyable. Their insightful narratives on Bhutan\'s history and culture, coupled with their open-mindedness, great sense of humor and friendliness, made us feel like part of the family after just one week together. I will miss them enormously! 

Bhutan, with its captivating isolation and authenticity, left a lasting impression. The people are intelligent and welcoming. For those choosing Acorn, I highly recommend opting for a homestay at Leki\'s in the Punakha Valley.

One of the standout features of Acorn Tours was their excellent communication. Right from the initial inquiry, they were prompt in responding to our questions and concerns.

Our journey was led by the remarkable guide, Tashi. His profound knowledge of Bhutan\'s history, culture, and traditions enriched our experience immeasurably. Tashi\'s patience and willingness to answer our countless questions showcased his dedication to providing an authentic and educational journey. His passion for Bhutan was infectious, making us fall in love with the country\'s heritage.

Accompanying us on this adventure was Sonam, our driver. Sonam\'s driving skills were exceptional, navigating the winding mountain roads with precision and ensuring our safety throughout the journey. His deep familiarity with the region\'s terrain made us feel secure, allowing us to soak in the breathtaking vistas without worry.

One of the highlights of our trip was the authentic homestay experience arranged by Acorn Tours. Staying with a Bhutanese family allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture. The warm hospitality of our hosts made us feel like an integral part of their community, and the traditional Bhutanese cuisine they prepared was a delightful culinary adventure. We even got to hang out with visiting locals around a fire and take a hot stone bath with a rejuvenating soak in mugwort. 

Our visit coincided with the Thimphu Tsechu Festival, a grand celebration of Bhutanese culture and religion. Acorn Tours ensured that we had prime seats to witness the festivities. The vibrant colors, intricate mask dances, and spiritual rituals that unfolded before us left us spellbound. It was a truly magical experience that we wouldn\'t have had without Acorn Tours\' meticulous planning.

My tour in Bhutan was incredible: seeing the unique landscapes in person, learning about Buddhism at the many temples and monasteries we visited, and most of all, the dedication and attentiveness of both my guide, Kezang, and driver, Tashi, throughout the whole tour.

From the get-go, I had a very positive experience interacting with Bhutan Acorn online. When I first enquired about a tour towards the end of 2023, I was told that the government had reduced the Sustainable Development Fee, which I had not known; Bhutan Acorn were transparent and ensured I would not have to pay any more than needed. Furthermore, as I made the booking through their website, I paid for the tour through a bank transfer, and I ended up accidentally paying slightly over the price of the tour. Bhutan Acorn notified me of the overpayment and after my arrival in the country, promptly repaid me.

I was very lucky to have Kezang, to guide me, and Tashi, to transport us, around Bhutan. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and accounted for throughout the whole week. Kezang and Tashi were very patient with answering my questions and took many photos of me. Kezang also communicated what we were doing very clearly each day and I literally and figuratively was able to take a back seat. Both Kezang and Tashi really went beyond ensuring that I was more than comfortable, from accommodating to my preferences for our itinerary, and offering to carry my belongings for me. 

The trip was full of unforgettable highlights. The homestay with Aum Leki in Punakha was very special to experience the way of living of a Bhutanese person. After our hike in Phobjikha Valley, as we had extra time, Kezang took me to the Black Neck Crane Information Centre, which was not part of the itinerary. From there, I was lucky enough to see the last three cranes that had not yet flown back to Tibet for the year! I attended the Annual Paro Tshechu Festival wearing a kira and saw traditional dances. And of course, the hike to Tiger’s Nest was very rewarding. While I was initially concerned that the itinerary would be packed, it definitely did not feel that way for me in reality; I always had time to unwind and did not feel too tired at the end of each day.

To all travellers thinking of going to Bhutan: it truly is a unique country that is definitely worth visiting!

Our pre-travel communication with Mr. Karma from Bhutan Acorn was exceptionally smooth. His timely and detailed responses ensured we were well-prepared for the travel, and the efficient handling of the visa procedure by the agency allowed us to obtain the necessary permits promptly – within just four working days. 

Our joy was further amplified by the presence of two outstanding Bhutanese guides, Tashi and Mr. Bumpa.

Bhutan, with its captivating isolation and authenticity, left a lasting impression. The people are intelligent and welcoming.

His deep familiarity with the region\'s terrain made us feel secure, allowing us to soak in the breathtaking vistas without worry.

One of the highlights of our trip was the authentic homestay experience arranged by Acorn Tours. Staying with a Bhutanese family allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture. The warm hospitality of our hosts made us feel like an integral part of their community, and the traditional Bhutanese cuisine they prepared was a delightful culinary adventure. We even got to hang out with visiting locals around a fire and take a hot stone bath with a rejuvenating soak in mugwort. 

Our visit coincided with the Thimphu Tsechu Festival, a grand celebration of Bhutanese culture and religion. Acorn Tours ensured that we had prime seats to witness the festivities. The vibrant colors, intricate mask dances, and spiritual rituals that unfolded before us left us spellbound.

Bhutan is truly worth the time and effort to visit, and Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel is an exceptional agency with which to experience it. Accommodations were first rate. The people of the country are unbelievably friendly and accommodating.

From the beginning to the end of my initial contact with Acorn I felt the commitment to ensure my every concern was accommodated. Mr. Karma quickly and efficiently secured my visa, flight reservations and travel arrangements with ease and consideration for my individual circumstances. It is hard to put into words the comfort I felt dealing with him. Reliability is only one of them.

On the ground, Mr. Norbu, my guide, and Mr. Nidup, my driver, ensured that I experienced and understood all that I saw. Patience and desire to ensure my trip was enjoyable, educational, and inspiring were clearly their primary goals. Mr. Norbu never tired of my questions even when asked over and over. It was like traveling with two knowledgeable friends.

Our pre-travel communication with Mr. Karma from Bhutan Acorn was exceptionally smooth. His timely and detailed responses ensured we were well-prepared for the travel, and the efficient handling of the visa procedure by the agency allowed us to obtain the necessary permits promptly – within just four working days. 

Our joy was further amplified by the presence of two outstanding Bhutanese guides, Tashi and Mr. Bumpa. They not only accommodated our last-minute preferences but also prioritized our safety and comfort throughout the journey. During hikes, they adjusted to our pace and made the challenging ascent to the Tiger\'s Nest enjoyable. Their insightful narratives on Bhutan\'s history and culture, coupled with their open-mindedness, great sense of humor and friendliness, made us feel like part of the family after just one week together. I will miss them enormously! 

Bhutan, with its captivating isolation and authenticity, left a lasting impression. The people are intelligent and welcoming. For those choosing Acorn, I highly recommend opting for a homestay at Leki\'s in the Punakha Valley.

Bhutan Acorn continued to be responsive to every question and request we made. We were impressed by Karma P’s (the owner’s) efficiency, attention to detail as well as his patience. 

We traveled in April 2023 to many sites and hiked many trails, ending in the Taktsang hike (Tiger’s Nest).  Our guide, Thinley S, and our driver, Sonam D, deserve special recognition. As cultural ambassadors, they represented the best of Bhutan - knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and good-humored.  

Throughout the hikes and treks, our guide made sure that we were safe, that we got food that was compatible with our taste and that we were comfortable in our hotels.  Our driver safely got us to our various destinations despite some tricky road conditions and made thoughtful gestures like getting cough drops when one of us developed a cough.  

I should mention that, by my own fault, I sustained a wrist injury that required some medical visits. Thinley, Sonam and Karma did a lot of problem-solving so that my friends could continue enjoying their day while I saw the doctors.  In this spontaneous situation (that is, out of the planned itinerary), I was touched by their personal and professional attention and care.

Bhutan Acorn continued to be responsive to every question and request we made. We were impressed by Karma P’s (the owner’s) efficiency, attention to detail as well as his patience. 

We traveled in April 2023 to many sites and hiked many trails, ending in the Taktsang hike (Tiger’s Nest).  Our guide, Thinley S, and our driver, Sonam D, deserve special recognition. As cultural ambassadors, they represented the best of Bhutan - knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and good-humored.  

Throughout the hikes and treks, our guide made sure that we were safe, that we got food that was compatible with our taste and that we were comfortable in our hotels.  Our driver safely got us to our various destinations despite some tricky road conditions and made thoughtful gestures like getting cough drops when one of us developed a cough.  

I should mention that, by my own fault, I sustained a wrist injury that required some medical visits. Thinley, Sonam and Karma did a lot of problem-solving so that my friends could continue enjoying their day while I saw the doctors.

My recent journey to this enchanting kingdom was an experience that transcended my wildest expectations, all thanks to Acorn Tours. From their impeccable communication to their flexibility in planning the trip, every aspect of the journey was meticulously orchestrated.

One of the standout features of Acorn Tours was their excellent communication. Right from the initial inquiry, they were prompt in responding to our questions and concerns.

Flexibility is often a key factor in any successful trip, and Acorn Tours excelled in this regard. They tailored our itinerary to match our interests and preferences, accommodating last-minute changes with ease. This flexibility allowed us to make the most of every moment, ensuring that our journey was personalized and memorable.

Our journey was led by the remarkable guide, Tashi. His profound knowledge of Bhutan\'s history, culture, and traditions enriched our experience immeasurably. Tashi\'s patience and willingness to answer our countless questions showcased his dedication to providing an authentic and educational journey. His passion for Bhutan was infectious, making us fall in love with the country\'s heritage.

Accompanying us on this adventure was Sonam, our driver. Sonam\'s driving skills were exceptional, navigating the winding mountain roads with precision and ensuring our safety throughout the journey. His deep familiarity with the region\'s terrain made us feel secure, allowing us to soak in the breathtaking vistas without worry.

One of the highlights of our trip was the authentic homestay experience arranged by Acorn Tours. Staying with a Bhutanese family allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture. The warm hospitality of our hosts made us feel like an integral part of their community, and the traditional Bhutanese cuisine they prepared was a delightful culinary adventure. We even got to hang out with visiting locals around a fire and take a hot stone bath with a rejuvenating soak in mugwort. 

Our visit coincided with the Thimphu Tsechu Festival, a grand celebration of Bhutanese culture and religion. Acorn Tours ensured that we had prime seats to witness the festivities. The vibrant colors, intricate mask dances, and spiritual rituals that unfolded before us left us spellbound. It was a truly magical experience that we wouldn\'t have had without Acorn Tours\' meticulous planning.

What truly sets Acorn Tours apart is their unwavering commitment to accommodating their guests\' needs. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Whether it was arranging for something specific shopping or getting us snacks, they were always one step ahead, making our journey seamless.

In summary, our trip to Bhutan with Acorn Tours was nothing short of extraordinary.

Bhutan Acorn continued to be responsive to every question and request we made. We were impressed by Karma P’s (the owner’s) efficiency, attention to detail as well as his patience. 

We traveled in April 2023 to many sites and hiked many trails, ending in the Taktsang hike (Tiger’s Nest).  Our guide, Thinley S, and our driver, Sonam D, deserve special recognition. As cultural ambassadors, they represented the best of Bhutan - knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and good-humored.  

Throughout the hikes and treks, our guide made sure that we were safe, that we got food that was compatible with our taste and that we were comfortable in our hotels.  Our driver safely got us to our various destinations despite some tricky road conditions and made thoughtful gestures like getting cough drops when one of us developed a cough.  

I should mention that, by my own fault, I sustained a wrist injury that required some medical visits. Thinley, Sonam and Karma did a lot of problem-solving so that my friends could continue enjoying their day while I saw the doctors.  In this spontaneous situation (that is, out of the planned itinerary), I was touched by their personal and professional attention and care.

In terms of advice, I would say be sure to bring trekking poles, stay hydrated on the trails, be respectful to the land, the temples and those who guide and serve you.  And don’t miss taking a stone bath!

My recent journey to this enchanting kingdom was an experience that transcended my wildest expectations, all thanks to Acorn Tours. From their impeccable communication to their flexibility in planning the trip, every aspect of the journey was meticulously orchestrated.

One of the standout features of Acorn Tours was their excellent communication. Right from the initial inquiry, they were prompt in responding to our questions and concerns. Their team ensured that we were well-informed and prepared for our adventure in Bhutan. This level of communication gave us the confidence that we were in capable hands.

Flexibility is often a key factor in any successful trip, and Acorn Tours excelled in this regard. They tailored our itinerary to match our interests and preferences, accommodating last-minute changes with ease. This flexibility allowed us to make the most of every moment, ensuring that our journey was personalized and memorable.

Our journey was led by the remarkable guide, Tashi. His profound knowledge of Bhutan\'s history, culture, and traditions enriched our experience immeasurably. Tashi\'s patience and willingness to answer our countless questions showcased his dedication to providing an authentic and educational journey. His passion for Bhutan was infectious, making us fall in love with the country\'s heritage.

Accompanying us on this adventure was Sonam, our driver. Sonam\'s driving skills were exceptional, navigating the winding mountain roads with precision and ensuring our safety throughout the journey. His deep familiarity with the region\'s terrain made us feel secure, allowing us to soak in the breathtaking vistas without worry.

One of the highlights of our trip was the authentic homestay experience arranged by Acorn Tours. Staying with a Bhutanese family allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture. The warm hospitality of our hosts made us feel like an integral part of their community, and the traditional Bhutanese cuisine they prepared was a delightful culinary adventure. We even got to hang out with visiting locals around a fire and take a hot stone bath with a rejuvenating soak in mugwort. 

Our visit coincided with the Thimphu Tsechu Festival, a grand celebration of Bhutanese culture and religion. Acorn Tours ensured that we had prime seats to witness the festivities. The vibrant colors, intricate mask dances, and spiritual rituals that unfolded before us left us spellbound. It was a truly magical experience that we wouldn\'t have had without Acorn Tours\' meticulous planning.

What truly sets Acorn Tours apart is their unwavering commitment to accommodating their guests\' needs. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Whether it was arranging for something specific shopping or getting us snacks, they were always one step ahead, making our journey seamless.

In summary, our trip to Bhutan with Acorn Tours was nothing short of extraordinary.

Bhutan was such an unknown country to me before I decided to visit, and I am so glad I took the leap of faith!!

From the moment I reached out to Bhutan Acorn, Karma Phuntsho was extremely responsive and thorough on guiding me through the tour itinerary, accommodations, and visa requirements. 

Feel free to be direct with Karma in telling you EXACTLY what you want from your tour and he will customize a tour JUST FOR YOU 😃. I was originally going to go for 7 days and extended my trip an additional day (before I got my visa) and he made these additions to the itinerary just for me!!

Now, on to the tour itself….

Karma told me later on that he tries to make his tours private whenever possible. This was unknown to me before booking, so I was extremely surprised and happy to find my 8 day tour would be just me and my tour guide and driver. (SHOUTOUT TO NIDUP & NORBU - the best in the game! 🙌🙌)

BHUTAN IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🇧🇹 
As the only carbon negative country in the world, the air is the purest out there. You will also be surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges and rare wildlife (birds, monkeys, etc.)

I felt extremely taken care of and can now call Nidup and Norbu great friends of mine 😃

As for the driver…

Nidup was such a funny and outgoing guy. He really knows how to turn up the energy on some of these long road trips (hint: he loves rock music 🎸). He is also completely willing to speak his mind and put your best interests at heart (—he will make sure you get fair deals at stores)

As for the tour guide…

Norbu is a young and bright guy. He knew sooooo much about Bhutan and Buddhism. I could ask him anything and he knew it right away. He is also a very fast hiker (so if you want to save some time, he is your guide) Norbu is also an amazing photographer!! He happily offered to take professional photos of me on one of the days and edit them himself!! The photos attached to this review are from him.

All in all, Bhutan was no mistake. It is a complete blessing. And it is a place I will most definitely come back to many times over (….But Nidup and Norbu must visit me in the USA too!!)

Bhutan was such an unknown country to me before I decided to visit, and I am so glad I took the leap of faith!!

From the moment I reached out to Bhutan Acorn, Karma Phuntsho was extremely responsive and thorough on guiding me through the tour itinerary, accommodations, and visa requirements. 

Feel free to be direct with Karma in telling you EXACTLY what you want from your tour and he will customize a tour JUST FOR YOU 😃. I was originally going to go for 7 days and extended my trip an additional day (before I got my visa) and he made these additions to the itinerary just for me!!

Now, on to the tour itself….

Karma told me later on that he tries to make his tours private whenever possible. This was unknown to me before booking, so I was extremely surprised and happy to find my 8 day tour would be just me and my tour guide and driver. (SHOUTOUT TO NIDUP & NORBU - the best in the game! 🙌🙌)

BHUTAN IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🇧🇹 
As the only carbon negative country in the world, the air is the purest out there. You will also be surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges and rare wildlife (birds, monkeys, etc.)

I felt extremely taken care of and can now call Nidup and Norbu great friends of mine 😃

As for the driver…

Nidup was such a funny and outgoing guy. He really knows how to turn up the energy on some of these long road trips (hint: he loves rock music 🎸). He is also completely willing to speak his mind and put your best interests at heart (—he will make sure you get fair deals at stores)

As for the tour guide…

Norbu is a young and bright guy. He knew sooooo much about Bhutan and Buddhism. I could ask him anything and he knew it right away. He is also a very fast hiker (so if you want to save some time, he is your guide) Norbu is also an amazing photographer!! He happily offered to take professional photos of me on one of the days and edit them himself!! The photos attached to this review are from him.

All in all, Bhutan was no mistake. It is a complete blessing. And it is a place I will most definitely come back to many times over (….But Nidup and Norbu must visit me in the USA too!!)

Once we arrived in Bhutan, we were greeted by our personal guide (Mr. Tashi) and our driver (Mr. Nidup).  Both gentlemen were with us, and only us, for the duration of our trip.  Both are extremely personable and knowledgeable. We learned so much and laughed a lot.  Mr. Tashi always ensured every restaurant or host accommodated my lactose intolerance.  They both ensured we always had enough to eat and drink throughout our visit and made us as comfortable as possible throughout.  

When an unexpected rainstorm hit us on our first day, Mr. Tashi recommended we change to a different hike/monastery since it would be less steep and muddy, which resulted in us getting an unexpected blessing/ritual bath from the lama (head monk) of the monastery.  We saw so many amazing views and learned a ton about Buddhism and Bhutanese history and culture.  We ended up changing our itinerary on the fly to exclude the Bumdrak Trek and camping for health reasons, which Mr. Tashi accommodated without complaint.  We chose instead to trek up to Tiger\'s Nest and had the chance to meditate in one of the temple rooms for 30 minutes undisturbed.  It allowed us to reflect on life’s journey that ultimately lead us here, the culmination of years of healing and personal growth. I\'d highly recommend starting the trek early.  We started around 6am and were pretty much the only people on the entire trek up.  It made the trek so much more spiritual and personal for us.  Mr. Tashi and Mr. Nidup provided us with their own personal trekking poles to use. 

Some tips when visiting Bhutan: pack toilet paper with you as many of the public and/or rural restrooms do not have toilet paper, have hand sanitizer available as many also do not have soap, and get into hiking shape to truly enjoy the experience.

Bhutan is a beautiful country and exceeded all my expectations.

Bhutan Acorn T&T were fantastic! In the planning stage they were very responsive and understanding of our several requests for change to the itinerary. They were very organised and efficient in arranging the visas, government fees and flights to Bhutan.

Our guide (Norbu) and driver (Thinley) were also fantastic and went above and beyond in looking after us. They were both very kind and helpful and their knowledge of Bhutanese history, Buddhist practice and local flora and fauna were exceptional.

We had all sorts of information we needed to ensure our trip was successful.  

Once we arrived in Bhutan, we were greeted by our personal guide (Mr. Tashi) and our driver (Mr. Nidup).  Both gentlemen were with us, and only us, for the duration of our trip.  Both are extremely personable and knowledgeable. We learned so much and laughed a lot.  Mr. Tashi always ensured every restaurant or host accommodated my lactose intolerance.  They both ensured we always had enough to eat and drink throughout our visit and made us as comfortable as possible throughout.  

When an unexpected rainstorm hit us on our first day, Mr. Tashi recommended we change to a different hike/monastery since it would be less steep and muddy, which resulted in us getting an unexpected blessing/ritual bath from the lama (head monk) of the monastery.  We saw so many amazing views and learned a ton about Buddhism and Bhutanese history and culture.  We ended up changing our itinerary on the fly to exclude the Bumdrak Trek and camping for health reasons, which Mr. Tashi accommodated without complaint.  We chose instead to trek up to Tiger\'s Nest and had the chance to meditate in one of the temple rooms for 30 minutes undisturbed.  It allowed us to reflect on life’s journey that ultimately lead us here, the culmination of years of healing and personal growth. I\'d highly recommend starting the trek early.  We started around 6am and were pretty much the only people on the entire trek up.  It made the trek so much more spiritual and personal for us.  Mr. Tashi and Mr. Nidup provided us with their own personal trekking poles to use. 

Some tips when visiting Bhutan: pack toilet paper with you as many of the public and/or rural restrooms do not have toilet paper, have hand sanitizer available as many also do not have soap, and get into hiking shape to truly enjoy the experience.  

Bottom line...we absolutely loved Bhutan and plan to return.  We would definitely go with Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel again and highly recommend you check them out too.

The lunch part of the tour was a mistake.  The lost our reservation and their solution was to put us in a sort of pen with other walk-in’s.  

Full picture was that we donated to a non-profit via an auction offering a private wine tour for 8 people. I get this impression this is a new marketing strategy for Willamette Valley Winery.  Obviously, the primary benefit of any wine tour paid for by customers or not, is the winery.  In this case we added the lunch, expecting to pay for it and enjoy  the afternoon there.  We confirmed with them a few times prior to arriving & when it came time for lunch, they didn’t have a table for us. No apologies from management, just sorry folks, parks closed…They went on to try to make fools of us putting us in an open mezzanine area with other walk-ins.  There is no table service, we were “allowed to” purchase lunch, bring it up to the tables and eat there.  picnic-style only indoors on a mezzanine with no view other than the dinning area were we were supposed to be.

Our family of 6 purchased 3 day Hop-On Hop-Off tickets with the Alcatraz Package via City Sight Seeing San Fran whose partner at the time was City Tours San Francisco. We went to San Fran at the start of June 2019.

On our voucher it detailed that we were to redeem it at City Sightseeing 1331 Columbus Avenue, however when we went there to collect our tickets it was not the City Sightseeing office. We asked around, and found out that they had moved months ago to Taylor St. It was very bad that we were not informed of the office move.

We went to the new office to collect our tickets, this office was branded Skyline Sightseeing - we received here more vouchers, ones for Alcatraz that we were doing that day, and the others branded Skyline Sightseeing.

We had a great afternoon at Alcatraz however the day was soon ruined when we had to collect tickets, we kept looking round for Skyline buses, however could not see anything with the exception of Big Bus. We spoke to a few people and we worked out that Big Bus Tours was the bus company for Skyline and City Sightseeing. We went to Jefferson St/Mason St, the office of the Big Bus Tours and also stop 1 - a conductor was on the pavement, we gave him our vouchers and he printed us a roll of paper which had the 6 tickets contained within it. We quickly jumped on the bus and when I was going through the ticket, I noticed that it only had 2 day bus passes on it. I quickly ran down the stairs of the bus and said to the conductor, he told me they don\'t offer that ticket anymore and its only a 2 day pass. I went into the office and said to the manager, they informed me that they no longer offer it - instead they do a two day pass with Madame Taussauds tickets, we said we don\'t to go there as we have seen it in London. He snatched my tickets, and started going through the roll ripping parts out - this was the Taussauds tickets. I jumped on the bus as my family shouted that it was going and I told them I would be in touch.

I drafted an email while on the bus, therefore missing all the sites - on closer inspection I noticed that the original ticket detailed 4 tours, \'Official City Tour, Park and Zoo Tour, Sausalito Tour and the Night Tour however on the maps there was no Park and Zoo Tour. They had dropped one of the tours that we really wanted to see, where they did not notify us. I checked on the terms and conditions of the Worldwide City Sightseeing website where it detailed that if the tours were to change they should publish it - this did not happen, as I searched their social media.

I reached out to the company on chat and via email, I even tried ringing them however once you are on hold for 45 minutes and it cuts you to voicemail you are never hearing back from them.

In the end we didn\'t even get to do the Night Tour, as we had planned to do that on the third night as we had plans for the first and second nights.

I finally received a chat response back from the San Fran office, they say their staff are trained to tell people that you don\'t get a 3 day pass, and also that they don\'t offer 4 tours only 3 tours and that they can\'t offer a refund.

I finally received a chat response back from the San Fran office, they say their staff are trained to tell people that you don\'t get a 3 day pass, and also that they don\'t offer 4 tours only 3 tours and that they can\'t offer a refund. This did not happen, and in any case we should be compensated for the one day that we did not receive and also for there being 1 less day.

Very poor customer service, they do not answer the phone or reply to voicemails - they have not once replied to my many emails.',1.0,'2019-07-23T17:17:48Z','REV-vAsSrD4qW0aUyJFlz+1vjh+af9WM4znYheAuhgmROKo=','en','Gary31288','TRIPADVISOR'),('7136P1','San Francisco Bay Cruise & Double Decker Night Tour','Awesome trip','Great informative trip round San Fran.

The buses have a mixture of live guides (in English) and the recorded commentary in several languages. The guides are \"generally helpful\", like most things in life - some more than others.
We added the Alcatraz package, which was brilliant.
The buses themselves are of varying quality, as are the important sound systems. Some of these need scraping - again this is true in all the big cities.

In July 2019 City Sightseeing didn\'t seem to be running any buses in San Francisco. Rather, you must take your ticket to Sky Line Tour\'s office in Fisher Man\'s Wharf who then redeem the purchase. The office is tiny and very easy to miss. Unfortunately, the Mega Pass online information is very misleading. Sky Line / City Sightseeing are not currently operating the San Francisco Explorer Hop-on Hop-Off bus tour which is currently included in the Mega Pass and there is no option within the Mega Pass for other similar tours. We therefore chose to get a refund for the Mega Pass voucher and instead booked a combined bus tour and Bay Cruise Ferry ticket. 

The Bay Cruise ferry ride was very good. There was timely and informative commentary  and we enjoyed very good (if quite choppy) views of the city shoreline, Alcatraz and (intermittently) the Golden Gate Bridge.

The open top bus tour was not good value for money. The tours are in fact provided by the Big Bus Company who are a separate operator again and branded entirely differently. None of this was made clear when we purchased the ticket and it was only a when we made a passing remark to one of the Big Bus ticket sellers in Union Square that we realised we were able to board their buses. The tour does take you all around San Francisco and quite near to most of the main sights. However, most of the commentary is, fairly short, intermittent recordings and it was often only apparent that we had missed a major sight (such as the houses on Alamo Square) after the bus had driven passed them. It is worth highlighting that to see a number of the major sights (such as the Alamo Square houses, or crooked street section of Lombard Street) that you need to leave the bus and walk a number of blocks. Trips with live guides were slightly better. The commentary was certainly more informative, however the guide was speaking so fast that it was often difficult to understand what was being said.

HOP ON/HOP OFF BUS 

PROS: The audio tour was very good and informational. The bus route includes 45 MPH roads that were pretty chilly in addition to crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, so bring layers. 

CONS: Due to short operating hours (10a - 5p), We really didn\'t get to take full advantage of the hot off/ hop off feature. Instead, it was a nice 2 1/2 hour tour. 

BOAT

PROS: Plenty of seating, snack bar and amazing views.

CONS: No address given until check-in at 99 Jefferson where you could then book your cruise time. Other passengers standing at railing in front of bench seats blocking everyone else\'s view. The audio commentary was too quiet to hear. For the price, I think there are better options.

We got picked up in Marrakech and finished in Tangier.     The entire trip was incredible, from the many questions I had booking, down to every detail of the trip.

The price was almost half of a competitors that I priced out and this did make me a little cautious, however I suspect our experience was better than any other company.   

Ali, our driver picked us up in a Mercedes mini van, with it being a private tour, this was an amazing bonus, as I tend to sleep a lot well traveling and I had my own seat to stretch out comfortably.   The accomadations selected, were right in town, inside the Medinas and when rural due to the location, they provided us with breakfast and dinner.   The sites, people and places we saw were an absolute dream.  Ali was a big part of that and we really missed him when we had to make our way around Spain on our own.   If I could give Ali and the company extra stars I would.   

Thank you for an amazing dream trip.
