Arrange Private tour of Tibet - Lhasa - General Tips & Advice Reviews

We used Geographic Expeditions (www.geoex.com), a company in San Francisco. They have the most beautiful catalogues to many exotic places (they don't arrange tours to Europe, for example). Their prices are reasonable, not the cheapest, but definitely not unreasonable. If the itinerary in the catalogue or web site don't fit your fancy, they can arrange a private tour according to your ideas, and you can form your own small tour group that way. That's what we did, a small group of 6 people, going from Lhasa to Kathmandu on land (I have a blog about it). They have local operators they work with in Tibet, and we had the most wonderful guide and drivers. Our guide does not work with GeoEx all the time, and the company he works for in Tibet is called Tibet Wind Horse Adventures (NOT other similar names, wind horse seems to be a popular name), and they take people rafting in Tibet! among other things.

I would highly recommend checking GeoEx out if you are from the US, and if you are elsewhere, check with Wind Horse Adventures directly.
