Super informative introduction to Kathmandu - Super introduction to Kathmandu! I arrived on Saturday and booked a half-day tour for Sunday. The tour guide, Sarita Karki, was very knowledgeable and could break down the incredible history into clear time periods. Our driver was insightful on current events, economics, and international relations. I learned as much in our drive between sights as I did at the sights. Lovely relaxing informative first day.

Great guides and city! You have to experience this tour! - This tour was remarkable. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in history and anyone wanting to see special areas of Katmandu. My guide, Umesh knew his history and told the story of Katmandu with passion. Bandhu our driver was also informative and together they guided me safely through their beautiful city. It was a perfect day.
