Wonderful tour guide, wonderful tour, would recommend - Shreejan our tour guide was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and accommodating as we experienced some of Kathmandus most spiritual sites. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone considering as it provided a lot of context we would have been missing otherwise. The tour was well paced and allowed us to take our time to soak in the rich culture and history.

Worth booking a tour over doing it yourself! - The experience was wonderful. Guide Shreejan was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to answer all of our questions. He went into detail and walked us through spiritual practices and cultural traditions. The tour was the perfect length and well informed. Worth the price, very cheap for what was included. Between me and my partner, the tour was small so our guide was able to give us his full attention. Definitely glad we booked a tour over doing it ourselves, we got way more information than we could have alone and learnt so much!
