Our Private Tour is customized for you or your personal group specially. You will enjoy our private guide, driver as well as car service during the whole land tour individually, instead of sharing with other travelers.

We just come back from a tour in China. Lhasa is really beautiful and breathtaking. But the best choice we think is to rest in the hotel after arrival, and that's what we did. Although the Potala Palace is a must, Ganden Monastery is also a place worth seeing.
