Great Tour - I went on this trip with my mom and I. While it was a cloudy morning our tour guide, Krishna Acharya, made us have a really good time. He is very kind and knowledgeable. The drive is peaceful and so beautiful even if it’s a cloudy morning. The rainforests are lush and the Bhaktapur is a one of a kind experience. You can connect with culture and see the beauty that is Nepal.

What a sunrise!! - Obviously the sunrise over the Himalayan peaks. We did not do Bhaktapur due to a concern with my health after climbing the stairs to the observation platform.

Rajan is awesome - I had the pleasure of taking a tour with Rajan today and I was thoroughly impressed. Rajan was incredibly knowledgeable about the places that we have visited and was able to answer all of my questions in a clear and concise way. He was also very engaging and made the tour fun and informative. I would highly recommend Rajan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide.

It was a wonderful experience. I would definitely do it again - I have learned a lot about buktapor cultural village by seeing the ancient buildings and how peaceful the life in there

Loved this tour - We saw all the mountains perfectly. Walked down through the villages with our guide Krishna. Loved seeing Bhaktapur. Really a great experience. Krishna was very helpful and a great guide.

Pleasant Tour - We were picked up at the appointed time from our hotel and taken to Nagarkot. The ride was comfortable and the guide was quite knowledgeable, providing us with relevant information about the places we visited and also with important tips throughout the entire tour. The only thing that slightly marred our enjoyment was the weather, as, due to thick fog at the Nagarkot watch tower, we did not catch a glimpse of the mountains, which was regarded to be the highlight of the tour. I don’t recommend taking this tour in September as the monsoon season is not over yet.

Not what I expected - Cloud cover obscured any view (luck of the draw). The guide at Bhaktapur was good but the visit felt rushed. The tour is advertised as a full day tour and I was back at my hotel in Kathmandu by 10.15 am

Local vendor requested changing our tour date a few days before our scheduled tour. Scrambled to - Had to scramble to rearrange our tour without a guide due to Dishanti Festival. On day of our tour we learned we would have a gude. Kasim was a "wonderful" guide to Bhaktapur Durbar. He even treated us to lunch! Best experience ever!

Very disappointed for the price—misleading advertising - First I have to explain that our guide, Prakash, was very friendly and efficient during this tour; however, the tour itself was not what we hoped for nor did it meet our expectations. We noticed quite a big difference in what was advertised in the booking / itinerary description and what we actually experienced. The Nagarkot sunrise was a nice experience. But Bhaktapur was totally different. We were aware we had to pay an entance fee at Bhaktapur Square— but the itinerary made it sound as if we would be going inside the temples—it stated “Admission Ticket Free” with amount of time being spent at each site. So, of course it was “free admission” because we had already paid to enter the Square. What did occur, was Prakash standing outside the buildings with us and giving a quick explanation of what we were looking at. This was very misleading and if we would have known this was the case, we would not have booked this particular tour. A big disappointment overall with the itinerary presented.
