Must see places, with full support and convenience - Well organized, punctual, a very acceptable vehicle, a polite driver and a knowledgeable guide: if you add to this the ancient beauty and the constant surprises of Kathmandu, for sure you will enjoy as we did.
For Westerners there's a sort of "cultural shock", but the calm and expertise of your tour guide, explaining with passion, calm you down.
We did the 4 sights tour, was with a child, it was a very complete day.

Sunrise, hike and heritage sites. 10/10. - My friend and I went on the nargakot sunrise and hike tour to changu Narayan and the 5 unesco heritage site tour. Subash arrived early at 4 am and the car ride was very comfortable. Due to the weather we unfortunately didn’t see the sunrise but our guide has contacted us the day before and informed that it is weather dependent so we were well prepared. Albeit that, the views and they valley were very beautiful. The hike itself was moderately difficult, some steep hills but not too bad. We were also able to see the daily lives of the Nepalese, their houses and were told of the tragedies these people suffered from the earthquakes but also the grit they hold despite everything that happened. The next day we went to the heritage sites and subash was very knowledgeable about everything and helpful in any questions we had (we asked a lot of questions!). For a small break, we had lunch with a rooftop view of the stupa. Subash ensured that it was our tour thus was very patient with our time and allowed enough time for site seeing and shopping. For both tours, everything went very smoothly . We had a great time and had very interesting conversations with subash and we learnt so so much. I highly recommend this company , great communication , good price. Thank you subash!!!!

Great day in temples with Prasant - Our guide for this 4 Unesco sites visit was Prasant. He was very welcoming and took all his time to explain ancient and modern history of the beautiful city of Kathmandu. He led us through the Buddhist and Hindou practices and beliefs in excellent English.
The car arrangements were great as well as the driver. Such a nice experience we asked for Prasant for another day tour. Thank you for these beautiful visits !

A sensorial feast - Fantastic day trip around the sites of Kathmandu made easy with our driver and guide Krishna and Dipesh
With transport and logistics taken care of we could really enjoy and absorb all the information shared at each site, from ancient history to present day while learning all about the culture too.
Take cash to pay for the entrance fees at each Unesco site and enjoy your day ah

Excellent! - This was a great tour. The guide and driver were top notch and very friendly. The guide knew his stuff. I highly recommend this tour. In one day you get a fairly comprehensive tour of the temples of Kathmandu. We also saw some other great sites, including an actual cremation ceremony. I was very impressed.
