We booked a tour with DrukAsia/Soultrips to Bhutan from 19 to 25 Jan 2025 for Ed Shereen Concert tour package and was assigned tour guide, Mr Dorji Wangchuk and driver, Mr Kuenga.
Mr Dorji was the best guide anyone could asks for! He is eloquent in English (also speaks multiple languages in Hindi and Nepali by the way), friendly, attentive and knowledgable. He always went the extra mile to ensure we are comfortable during the trip, requests for all the hotels to give us the rooms with the best views, bring us to explore the local food places and shrines, temples, gift shops, ensuring our safety and also enhancing our experiences. He shares a lot on the culture, life and historical places around Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, we learnt so much from him! He is so helpful and often offer to carry our bags or items for us so we can shop or hike with ease. He even brought us snacks and water during our hike up to Tiger Nest, always keeping a lookout for our safety and comfort. During the D-day for Ed Shereen's concert, he even went above and beyond to find ways to bring us quickly and safely into our ticket zone, and soughting help from his friend to secure us good view seats! This kind gesture was surely beyond his role as a tour guide and we are grateful and touched by this experience :)
Added bonus that Mr Dorji is an award winning photographer and when he knew we went Bhutan to take some casual pre-wedding shoot, he took the initiative to help us to take superb nice and professional photos with Bhutan's amazing scenary and places.
Mr Kuenga is such a professional and safe driver! He is patient and always ensuring the car's heater is ready for us, helping us with our luggages and bags, opening the car doors for us. His attention to details make the rides so comfortable, we always have a new water bottled at our car doors' compartment each day, with a pack of wet wipes for our usage. He also always ensures the car is clean and neat before we begin our adventure each day. He took the effort to always arrive earlier to wait for us and help us with our bags, also patiently waiting for us when we alight for short breaks or shopping. His chemistry with Mr Dorji was great too as you can see and sense the good vibes and friendship amongst them throughout the trip.
Thank you so much to the both of them for making our trip so wonderful and memorable, we will certainly recommend both Mr Dorji and Mr Kuenga to everyone going to Bhutan for an amazing and enjoyable trip!
