Elysian is a "find". I didn't think I need a travel agency when I figured out I needed a permit to enter Tibet. When I found Elysian, I decided to let them handle my trip for their professionalism and prompt responses to all my questions since the first email I sent. It turned out to be a perfect decision. My trip was incredibly amazing throughout. All the guides were friendly, on time and equipped with rich knowledge of their own areas. I was well looked after by them like family. John in Lhasa especially, went out of his way to take me to a wonderful local bar on his motorcycle, the most lovely ride I ever had. Many thanks for this wonderful trip! I would highly recommend Elysian to anyone I know visiting China.
