Excellent one day tour with Suresh - I really enjoyed the well paced and informative day tour by Suresh. It was an excellent one day overview of the sights for someone who has not much time in Kathmandu. He is a wealth of knowledge and was very generous with sharing the history, religion, architecture and general Nepal culture. Driver was also excellent navigating the traffic and road to the tourist attractions. Would highly recommend Suresh as an excellent tour guide! Thank you.

Great tour - great professional service - We had a fantastic one tour. This is a big programme for one day as this tour is normally done in 2 days. However our guide, Ram, managed our time perfectly and we never felt rushed. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The restaurant recommended for our lunch in Bhaktapur was also lovely with yummy food and excellent service. We enjoyed every moment of our tour and I would warmly recommend this company. Thank you again.

Best one day tour ever! - This a perfect one day tour of Kathmandu and Khatmandu valley lead by the knowledgeable and delightful Shanti. We started at 7:00am and finished after 6:30 pm. Shanti revealed the wonder of Kathmandu and really brought the city and its people to life. Highlights were many including seeing the Kumari, the medieval and vibrant city of Bhaktapur and the Pashupatinath Temple. The pace was easy and Shanti accommodated our particular interests. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the best that Kathmandu and Khatmandu valley has to offer.
