This vacation (August 2024), we visited Bhutan - a beautiful country so well rooted in their tradition and culture. Our trip was organised by AD Tours and Travels; and we must say that it was an extre (Read More)mely satisfying experience. The staff are very prompt and responsive to all our queries and took really good care to make our tour a memorable one. The accommodation was all in 3-star hotels with the company especially ensuring that we received the best rooms that the hotel has to offer. Special mention to our guide Kinley - a very polite, punctual, professional and friendly person - who was there throughout with us and patiently explained to us everything about the beautiful places and holy sites that we visited. Our driver Tshering was also wonderful - always ensuring we reached our destinations on time. Both these new friends of ours ensured that we had a very memorable experience of Bhutan.. We visited in the off-season being the monsoon period but the rains did not trouble us at all and we had a very cool and pleasant weather all throughout. Altogether, we highly recommend AD Tours and Travels (and definitely Kinley and Tshering).. for providing us with the best experience of Bhutan..#Believe..? Nothing at all to mention... everything was perfect.. just as we wished it to be.
Totally tecommended!!!

This was our second trip with AD Tours, and once again, they managed all the documentation and other arrangements seamlessly. I highly recommend AD Tours for a Bhutan tour.

Our recent trip to Bhutan was nothing short of extraordinary, and we owe so much of that experience to the exceptional service provided by our travel agency AD Tours and travels, our wonderful guide U (Read More)ghiyan and our skilled car driver Sanghey
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the beauty and culture of Bhutan. Whether we were exploring ancient monasteries, hiking up to the stunning Tiger’s Nest, or simply enjoying a quiet moment in nature, he always made sure we were comfortable, informed, and truly immersed in the local way of life.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to our car driver, whose professionalism and calm presence made every journey smooth and relaxing. Navigating the winding mountain roads of Bhutan is no easy task, but he did it with such grace and care. We always felt safe and well taken care of.
This trip was not just a vacation—it was a soul-enriching experience. We’re deeply grateful to the entire team who made it possible. Bhutan is a magical place, and thanks to your warm hospitality and expert guidance, we will cherish these memories forever.

It was a week long trip. The accommodation at most places were decent, we especially liked the stay at Central Hotel, phuentsholing... the food, facilities and hospitality were good.I would highly r (Read More)ecommend this place for further tourists as well. One note to mention was that, the stay at Tshongdu Botique, Paro, was not so good, as the bathroom kept stinking and the breakfast spread was very limited, and the taste and quality were not great. The Guide was very friendly and polite. He explained the culture of Bhutan very well. The driver was also great, his driving skills were sensible and not rash. The Tiger's Nest was a highlight of our trip, the trek was tough but enjoyable. The Simply Bhutan museum was fun, and the river rafting was also great. Overall the trip was really enjoyable and fun, it was a great and memorable experience.

We recently returned from our Bhutan trip organized by AD Tours & Travels (Atlas Discovery Gateways), and we must say it was a truly wonderful experience! From the moment we landed till the end of our (Read More) journey, everything was very well planned and executed.
A big thank you to our guide Yeshi Wangchuk and our pilot (driver) Tshering. Yeshi was incredibly knowledgeable, and he briefed us thoroughly at every step, ensuring we understood and appreciated the cultural and historical significance of the places we visited. Both Yeshi and Tshering were extremely cooperative and accommodating—they never hesitated with anything we asked for, always making sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip.
The stays were excellent—each one offered beautiful views and came with a delicious breakfast to start our days right. The hospitality and comfort made the experience even more memorable.
Thanks once again to AD Tours & Travels for arranging such a beautiful and seamless trip. Bhutan will always have a special place in our hearts!
