Amazing adventure and experience. This trip is worth every penny. It is impossible to describe the feeling, you have to see it with your own eyes! great organization, they take care of every detail and every participant. Thanks to you my dream has come true. The flight with you to Everest is one of the most wonderful things I've done and a selfie with Everest is my favorite photo. You left me beautiful memories and a smile on my face forever! If you want to make your dreams come true, don't wait!!! Thank you very much. Regards to all

excellent trip! the Driver picked Me up from the hotel and took me to the airport, where we met our pilot and the tour guide who was with us the whole way. the entire trip was worth every penny! we had an unbelievable view of Mt. Everest and we got to eat breakfast at a great hotel at 12000 feet!

Everest was spectacular. Really recommended. However, the altitude is quite high, so you need to be careful of altitude sickness. However, the guides and pilots were all kind people. I was especially grateful that the guide's wife was Japanese, so she spoke a little Japanese.

A fantastic hike, wonderful scenery and a breathtaking view of Mount Everest. First-class organization. I recommend this tour and the company.

This was definitely worth the cost!! One of my favorite things I’ve done. Highly recommend it. Left me smiling from ear to ear.
