What are people saying about Kathmandu

Kimberly_B, Apr 2026

Fantastic experience!

My family and I absolutely loved this tour and we were all so impressed by our guide, Shankar. We chose the 7 site tour as our time in Kathmandu was limited and we wanted to see as much as possible. Shankar explained so much about culture, history, art, and religion plus he answered all of our many questions. Our driver was excellent and saved us so much time. Every site was worthwhile. Highly recommend both the tour and Shankar.

Chang_H, Apr 2026

An Unforgettable and Well-Organized Journey with Tej

Tej is an exceptionally experienced and professional guide. He made our visit both meaningful and enjoyable with his knowledge and attentive guidance. Although completing all seven UNESCO sites in a single day may seem quite demanding, Tej managed the itinerary very efficiently, ensuring a smooth flow and a comfortable pace throughout the tour. Overall, it was an excellent experience. While the day was understandably tiring, the sense of accomplishment at the end was truly rewarding. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Tej as your guide.

ValiaGrigoriadou, Apr 2026

I had a great experience...

I had a great experience on the 4 UNESCO sites tour in Kathmandu. All of the sites were fascinating and offered a unique insight into Nepal’s rich culture and history. Our guide, Summit, was excellent—very knowledgeable and engaging. He provided detailed information at each location, helping us truly understand the significance of what we were seeing. The tour was also very well organised, with a good pace and enough time at each site to explore without feeling rushed. Overall, it was an enjoyable and informative experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Kathmandu.

Day Trip to Bhaktapur and Panauti from Kathmandu

Elizabeth_S, Apr 2026

Amazing!!!

What an amazing day! I highly recommend this experience-it is not to be missed! My guide Puspa was real treasure. She made everywhere we went come alive with her stories, knowledge and wonderful sense of humor! Our driver Shanti was a miracle worker in the chaos of the roads here. She drove so safely and perfectly! We also had an amazing lunch at the homestay house of Sarina. That was one of the best meals I have had in all Nepal. Her hospitality was beyond measure. This organization also supports women in every working capacity and I sure appreciate that. Don’t miss this experience!

Nagarkot Sunrise Trip & Day Hike with Lunch from Kathmandu

Deborah_R, Mar 2026

We hoped to see the Bug Man at sunrise and we did!!

The mountains are a long way away, but if you get a clear morning, it is a wonderful experience. As this is just a part of the trip, the hike including a suspension bridge, Buddhist Temple, high villages and forests and ending at Changunarayan Temple is a wonderful and full on experience. Great day!!

Nagarkot Sunrise View & Day Hiking with Lunch - Private/Group

Iain_H, Mar 2026

Fabulous morning with Anon, delightful start to the day

Ok so we had haze and some clouds so the mountains were not clear but we still had a great trip! Communication was excellent from Anon and we were picked up exactly on time and driven (by an excellent driver) to the viewpoint. Sunrise was really nice despite the haze and we then had some masala chai sat by the fire and breakfast before the hike. Nice and easy as some members of our group favoured the shorter option and we went with the flow. Was really nice walking through the local area and at one point serving as a resting point for a goat who decided to rest against my shin for ages. Anon is a really knowledgeable and jovial guide who likes a chat and this made for a really nice fun walk: his attitude is very much get something out of the day so if the weather blocks the mountains a bit then you’re going to enjoy the walk, which we certainly did! The 250m bridge we crossed is fun and not as terrifyingly as it looks. Thoroughly recommend this trip, if you get Anon then you’re in for a really fun time and he’ll give you loads of great information along the way.

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour landing at Everest View Hotel

Adam_K, Feb 2026

Fantastic adventure with Basecamp Helicopter

I could not recommend them any more highly. I went with my daughter, and we had a blast. The company communicated clearly what to expect and reminded us that there were a few costs in addition to the tour price. It was mentioned in their ad, but the reminded us to make sure that there was no misunderstanding. The costs were to cover an airport fee and breakfast at the Everest View Hotel. They came to our hotel the night before and went over the details of what we needed, such as warm clothes, pack very light, the itinerary, etc. They picked us up in the morning exactly according to schedule and took us to the airport. They walked us through security, check in, and took us to the gate, drove us to the helicopter terminal, and introduced us to the pilot. We were again given a flight briefing. The pilot was very professional and the ride was perfect. My daughter and I shared memories that we will never forget.

Once in a lifetime

Good experience-the flight was delayed by one hour but this is common in Nepal. My driver to and from the airport was on time and very nice (Prakash). The flight HR itself was great-the flight attendants go around ensuring you know which mountains are which and everyone had a window seat. Definitely had a good experience and would highly recommend as it’s a once in a lifetime one.

UNESCO Seven World Heritage Tour in Kathmandu

Ada_O, May 2025

Excellent

We had a wonderful guide, Pankaz, he was very knowledgeable about the Hindu and Buddhist religions and about the history of the temples. He was very courteous and didn’t rush us through the tour but kept it at our pace. The driver, Gopal was prompt and also very courteous in assisting me to get in and out of the vehicle. The vehicle was very clean and he always asked if the air conditioning was at a comfortable temperature. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend these guys to anyone.
