An excellent tour! - We were met from the airport, Shankar our tour guide was very very good! He was extremely informative, and knew so much, we learnt a lot about the culture, food, and all of the architecture in Bahaktapur., as well as the Nepalese culture. We also tried Momos for the first time. We were then driven up to Nagarkot, for the most beautiful views and some tasty tea. Our driver was call Ravi, and excellent driver and very polite.

Post-curfew - Kathmandu is recovering and returning to normal. I was picked up from hotel on time (actually slightly earlier). The walking tour guided by Pradeep was insightful, allowing me to learn about history of Bhaktapur and Nepal : )

Catch a glimpse outside of Kathmandu - It was a good way to explore a little bit outside of Kathmandu and see the historic towns of Bhaktapur and Nagarkot. Bajra is a great guide. Thanks for the tour!

Brilliant day tour out of the city, well worth visiting - We had a fantastic time visiting Nagarkot and Bhaktapur, definitely worth checking out from Kathmandu! Shankar was an excellent guide and we learnt so much about Nepal's history and the details of the historical buildings around Bhaktapur. It's much quieter than the durbar squares in Kathmandu and a completely different vibe. Tour length of 5hrs just right, I'd thoroughly recommend the tour!

Excellent, do it without hesitation! - Everything perfect this tour, do it without hesitation! In Nagarkot we were lucky enough to be able to see a clear view of the Himalayas despite being Monzon (June) time, and Bhaktapur is simply impressive, a city of the 1700s... the Subash guide as well as very professional and know everything even helped me taking photos and being flexible at all times. The truth we had a spectacular time

Fun time in Bhaktapur - We had a great time visiting Bhaktapur. We tried authentic Nepalese food, purchased some art from a very cute art school, and learned all about the area. The guide and driver were both great as well

Private tour well worth booking - So glad we decided to go with a private tour. Our guide, Subash, was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the cultural and religious meanings behind so many of the sights we took in throughout the day. Grateful to learn about the Newari people, Hindu gods, and Buddhist practices, among many other topics about Nepal. Our driver was also very careful and reliable. It was a packed, joyful experience.

A culturally enriching day - This tour company is really outstanding. They reponded to our personalized requests and created unforgettable memories for us. Our guide, Subash, was amazing. He picked us two up at the appointed time in our hotel and before we even got in the car laid out the tour plan. On the way to Bhaktapur he told us a lot about the religious sites we would see that day. Once in Bhaktapur he took us way off what seemed to be the normal tour route into a lot of little backstreets, explaining what (and who) we we saw. For example, he explained what different colored tilak (marks on forehead) meant. At the first temple Subash explained a lot of the iconography and pointed out important things to notice. He patiently answered our questions, and was really good at understanding what we wanted out of the day. We liked Subash's guiding style so much we booked another custom tour with him around Nagarkot and back to Kathmandu the next day. That was an equally great day.

Fun trip!!! - We (group of four) really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Shankar is very knowledgeable and fun. He taught us lots of history of the places and we had plenty of time taking pictures and enjoy the place. The mountain view and sunset was beautiful and it was a fun ride too. Both the drivers and the guide were accommodating and helpful. The van was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

NICE GUIDE & DRIVER - Unfortunately, the view from Nagargot was cloudy and the mountains were not visible. The guide Victor and the driver were amazing. You've fulfilled this request to the fullest! At Bakudouble, they explained the temple and square in detail, which was great! It was awesome to taste JoJo Dau as well! Thank you for the wonderful experience. I'd like to visit next time it's sunny!
