This was a great tour. My guide, Umesh was really knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the sites we saw. I never felt rushed in exploring. He also gave me ample time to look at shops or take photos. Lunch was great and had a nice view. Best tour guide!!!

Great way to get a feel for Kathmandu!
This tour was a great way for me to get a feel for Kathmandu while I waited for my group to arrive. Our guide Nikita was knowledgeable and our rickshaw driver skilled at navigating uneven and busy streets. There was a great combination of moving through the hustle and bustle from the rickshaw and then experiencing stupas and holy sites on foot. I highly recommend this!

Perfect half day tour for a quick adventure
This tour is perfect for a taste of Kathmandu. My guide Pankaj was very informative and fun. He was able to give us a lot of knowledge of Hindu and Buddhist culture in a half day trip. The monkey temple and the palace were very cool spots to visit in Kathmandu.
