Kathmandu: Transformative Private City Highlights Tour

Really great way to see a some iconic destinations in Kathmandu if you're very short of time or trying to kill a day before an evening flight. Shankar (the guide) is very knowledgeable and had a lot of information to share, and having a private driver was also very handy. Recommended!

We had an amazing day! Our guide Prakash was so knowledgeable and attentive. We saw some stunning sights and landmarks. Thank you for a great city tour.

We hit the jackpot with our guide, Shankar. Shankar met us at our hotel and we sat down to discuss each of the sites. He gave us a lot of background and wrote the notes all out on paper that we then got to keep for reference. The driver met us all in a comfortable car. It is so valuable to have a driver taking you everywhere and getting you to the right location. Kathmandu traffic is best handled by an experienced local. All of the sites are so interesting and Sankar is a font of knowlege, and a good photographer as well. He was always happy to take our photo. We stopped for lunch while Shankar also had a break. Before leaving the restaurant, we had another presentation about Nepali politics and changes through the years. Again, all was written down for us to keep! We also visited an artist workshop where we had the opportunity to buy mandala originals at an "almost free" price. While we were walking in the area, three weddings with marching bands came through. It was an auspicious day for weddings and lucky for us to witness. Shankar is very easy to understand and he is an amazing font of knowledge. He explains things so well and writes so legibly, I guessed correctly that he had once been a teacher. Be prepared to pay all of the entry fees for the people in your party. If you go, I hope that Shankar is your guide!

Shankar was my tour guide for a full day tour of Kathmandu focusing on the 4 World Heritage sites. Shankar was deeply knowledgeable about the history and relevant details of each site visit and readily educated me as much as possible. The tour was organized and well-paced leaving time for luch and breaks. I would highly recommend Shankar to guide you during your visit to Kathmandu!

Incredible city was enhanced by the knowledge and care from Paras on this tour. Was on my own but Paras made sure I felt safe and informed the entire time. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get an in-depth and complete tour of Kathmandu's main sites.

Amazing! We had an awesome tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of our questions and showed us all the UNESCO sites, he was very patient. The company is also very reliable and professional, he really made our time there magnificent and easy for us to access everything.

It was a nice trip. The car was clean and air-conditioned, the drive was smooth. Paras was friendly and knowledgeable. There was no rush, I could enjoy every place to the fullest. As a female solo traveler I felt very safe. Was a great thing to do on my last day in Kathmandu and they conveniently dropped me off at the airport. Highly recommended!
