Hello,
In May, I traveled independently with Bhutan Footprint Travel for the third time. I was once again impressed by the meticulous organization and the commitment to showing me more and more of this wonderful country and introducing me to the culture. They responded perfectly to every situation. Special thanks go to Thinley, the guide, and Chogyel, the driver. I felt completely at ease. I would be happy to do it again in future.
Best regards

Dear little (Daza) Jigme,

Although I left my feedback with Thinley on the standard form, I'd  like to express also personally my greatest thanks for being our tour agent in Bhutan. Sabine and I have enjoyed the 2 weeks so much that it's hard to find words for it. Everything was simply perfect. We honestly felt like queens - especially with all the little children waving at us when we passed by in the car ;) Thinley is a wonderful guide who has a great knowledge about Bhutan's culture and history. Moreover he's extremely caring and adjusted flexibly to our preferences, and he is simply a nice person to spend time with.

Shatu is such a cute driver - always having a friendly smile on his face. And of course he knows all the roads/bumps by heart. And he always parks the car that close to any entrance that we thought more than once: if he could, he would drive us right into the room. The 2 as a team are unbeatable. They understand each other without words and both have the same attitude, making our stay in Bhutan as enjoyable as possible.

Everything was perfectly organized and I was more than once positively surprised. All hotels were clean and warm, our tent on the track stayed dry despite the night-long rain, our sleeping bags were super-cosy-warm. All things that I wouldn't expect in a country which is not famous for its wealth. But obviously it should be famous for its quality it provides to travelers. And the beautiful room in the palace in Paro, with a view to the Dzong was the nicest farewell-present Thinley could give to us.

We have only met briefly, but I understand why Monika talks so fond of you and supported your start-up of your own agency. You are a true entrepreneurial person and nice company to be with. The Footprint T-Shirt served me well as a sleeping shirt after the trek when everything else smelled like horse :) And the baskets have also survived the trip home in a good state.

I hope you have a good business during the upcoming festivals. All the best,

Miriam

For those of you, who are deciding on a trip to Bhutan, do not hesitate to organize your trek or cultural tour through Daza Jigme, Bhutan Footprints Travel and Tours. I spent two weeks in Bhutan this October 2006 and being a woman of fifty traveling on her own was wary of booking through internet and especially of paying a large some of money to an unknown company. For those of you, who have similar doubts and queries, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or by email so that I can describe in detail my trip and answer any questions.

Daza Jigme, manager and guide, was efficient in the organization of the tour, very attentive to my particular wishes and flexible regarding the itinerary, knowledgeable about his country including its history, culture, geography, politics and Buddhism, honest and above all good company.

I will be returning with friends for a trek, having mainly visited the country for the cultural characteristics by daily hikes covering from Paro to Bhumthang and will definitely be traveling once again with Bhutan Footprints Travel and Tours. The country is unspoilt and its natural beauty and the friendliness of the people all contribute to a fascinating and pleasurable adventure.

One of the most memorable vacations we have experienced was in the magical kingdom of Bhutan.  The scenery is breath taking; the people are gentle, willing to do whatever they can to make your stay a great one.  The customs, especially the festivals, are unequalled anywhere else.  It was because of Daza Jigme and his colleagues that we enjoyed, to the maximum, all that Bhutan and its people had to offer.  If you visit Bhutan you will never forget the wonderful experience, if you visit it under Daza Jigme's guidance you will enjoy everything to the fullest.

1My brother and I recently traveled to the picturesque country of Bhutan.  I would highly recommend this country to anyone interested in experiencing total peace and tranquility.  I found Bhutan to be the quietest place I have ever visited on the planet.  Many days during my tour, the only sounds I heard for hours were the prayer flags gently flapping in the wind.  I found the people of Bhutan to be extraordinarily genuine.  Everyone I encountered was interested in me as a tourist and as a person.  The accommodations were adequate and the site seeing was outstanding.  From the rush of the plane trip into Paro to the peaceful babbling of the rivers teaming with fish, the experience of Bhutan as a whole was one I found overwhelmingly satisfying and one that I enjoy over and over again as I replay my vacation in my mind. My tour guide and driver were extremely knowledgeable of the country, the sites and the culture of Bhutan.  Make Bhutan a definite on your short list of vacation destinations.

Dear Daza Jigme
Thank you once again for arranging our trip to Bhutan this month. You have a beautiful country and we felt welcome wherever we went. We especially enjoyed working with our guide Thinley and our driver Jamphel. They were both professional and delightful people, who shared their knowledge of and obvious affection and respect for their country. Please feel free to use us as a reference if anyone wants to ask about our experience with your company! Best to you and your associates.

Dear Daza,
A week after coming back from your beautiful country, I have to say I'm still under some kind of "Himalayan spell" and have been reading and watching movies on Bhutan, Tibet, Ladakh, Sikkim… A brand new Asian world for me!
Thank you very much for the wonderful service provided by your company before and during our stay in Bhutan. Namgay was a really great guide and we certainly appreciated the flexibility, right amount of information provided and good sense of humor. Neither José nor I are used to travel on a tour and we were therefore a bit anxious how it would be like!
Thank you also for your patience throughout all the email exchanges and plans changes prior to our arrival. And for taking the time to join the dinner on our last evening in Thimphu - always good to associate a face to a (thousand) email! We will definitely be back in Bhutan and will contact you again then - I guess that says it all about our degree of satisfaction :)
In the meantime, I would like to wish you and your team all the best, including many successful tours.
Warm regards from rainy Vientiane!
Ana, May 2016
