Great tour Great guide

Debbie_H, Mar 2026

Loved my walking tour with Sangita she told me lots of things I didn't know. She spoke of her culture and explained the caste system which was interesting. We went to some places most tourists wouldn't see and I got to see locals selling their wares in traditional markets. Highly recommend doing this tour you see the real Kathmandu

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Debbie, Thank you so much for taking time for this wonderful review. It is great to know you loved our specially crafted local Kathmandu walking tour. Regards Sangita

Pleasant little tour!

I was accommodated last minute and Bipan was punctual and patient enough to wait for me finishing breakfast (hotel was a little slow), and walked slowly due to a sprained ankle. Luckily I was the only one on the tour! Bipan was pleasant and answered all my questions and followed up with some additional information I required. Was surprised the tour didn't include Durbar Square but assuming that it would take a while to cover.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hi Maria, Thank you for booking Kathmandu walking tour with us through Viator. Our tour guide Bipin indeed showed patience to wait for you until you finished breakfast. We are glad to know that you had a great tour experience with us but we are surprised to know you expected the Durbar Square visit as well. This tour aims to take the traveler through the hidden alleys of Kathmandu that gives the opportunity to explore the local lifestyle and culture of Kathmandu and its people (which is mentioned clearly in the description). We believe we delivered the tour as promised :) Best Regards Sangita and HNB Team
