Great trip, nice company!

Had a great trip in January with Raven. It is definitely the low season but I had fantastic weather and few crowds. I had many sights to myself. I am not used to travelling on a preset itinerary and that was a bit difficult, but the Raven guides allowed me some flexibility while making sure we had time for the highlights based on the shorter opening hours in Winter. All in all a great experience, great hotels and great driving and guiding by Sonam! Many thanks!

Memorable trip to Bhutan

This was an amazing trip! There were so many highlights of Bhutan... Our tour guide, Nim Druk, was so organized and insightful! She was knowledgeable and went out of her way to make our trip special.  Honestly, I cannot think of a way this trip could have been better. We were so well cared for and it is definitely an active adventure! I highly recommend Raven tour to everyone.

A trip to remember a lifetime

I can't thank you enough for Raven tour to make my trip so memorable, smooth and easy. We came to Bhutan as a group of 5, Raven arranged everything from accommodation, transportation, and activities. Most tour operators in Bhutan are pretty much the same when I first contacted and researched about them, but after spending my 5 days with Raven, I definitely feel like home and more personal care. Whatever we need, we just need to let the tour guide Nim Dem knows and she surely makes everything possible. If you looking for a reliable tour, this is the one. Thank you so much for making the trip unforgettable.

Highly Recommended the Tavel Agent

I am solo traveler, I believe I made good choice for using Raven Tavel. The tour guide Pema and the driver Namgay are amazing. Bhutan is my dream place and always on my top list to visit. I had wonderful time in Bhutan, Pema and Namgay are very flexible with my trip agenda and schedule. We hangout every night at local and tourist bar/restaurant. Great experience to stay at Monastery at the Christmas Eve. Pema also has very good trekking skills, he is a “book” for Buddha and History.
