Decent tour, don't expect too much.

It was an ok tour. Only stopped at three places (which was clear in the itinerary). No info given in between....the guide and driver just spoke to each other in Nepalese, so I played on my phone and looked out the window. Entrance fees were 2000 rupees (1000 each at 2 stops).

My flight was delayed by half a day, so...

My flight was delayed by half a day, so I actually missed this tour. But, managed to find the office and talked to the staff. It would have been nice if they would have let me join another tour, seeing as I'd already paid. The truth is, I really didn't think about suggesting this until the next day and they didn't suggest it at the time. May be wishful thinking, but I hope some of the money goes to aid in temple reconstruction and maintenance.

This was a very good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and never stopped teaching us about the history of Nepal and answering our questions, even during lunch! They were also kind enough to drop us off at our hotel after the tour even though they were not required to do so :
