We had been to Bhaktapur and then Nagarkot - It was an excellent experience...Beyond our expectations. It was a well conditional car with our private guide. Guide, a lady named Bidiya was very simpactic with us... She was capable of explaining all our doubts and she had knowledge of history... She knew exactly what she was explaining with confidence...All the time she was with us and no doubt, we had a guide of super quality. We recommend your service and would like to share my good experience with my friends

Special thanks to our guide, Bidhaya, who was fantastic with our kids. Our driver, Kancha, deserves a shout-out! - Bhaktapur & Nagarkot Tour – Culture, Views & Comfort Combined Our day exploring Bhaktapur and Nagarkot was a perfect blend of history, beauty, and comfort. Bhaktapur’s UNESCO World Heritage sites are incredibly impressive—rich in culture, architecture, and stories that take you back centuries. The trip up to Nagarkot was equally stunning. The mountain and city views from there are absolutely breathtaking, and it offers a peaceful look into life in rural Nepal, away from the city buzz. Special thanks to our guide, Bidhaya, who was fantastic with our kids (12 and 13). She adapted the tour pace to keep them engaged and made sure we didn’t linger too long in historical deep-dives they weren’t into—super appreciated! Our driver, Kancha, deserves a shout-out too—safe, calm, and always on time, even on the winding roads up the mountain. Highly recommended for families looking for a culturally rich but relaxed day trip from Kathmandu!

Great sunrise view and tour of Bhaktapur - Excellent service - prompt pickup at hotel, with a quick drive to Nagarkot for sunrise. Informative service provided by Shankar and Ranjan - and an overall great time.

Great Tour Guide and Experience - A wonderful day trip from Thamel! The tour started right on time with pick-up from hotel. Vidya was a great guide, highly knowledgable, very flexible and friendly. Since the day was rainy and we would not get a great view from Nagarkot, she suggested we see Changu Narayan Temple. A unique and local experience! Thank you Vidya for the great day!

Bhaktapur and Naragut tower-enchanting day tour - Pradeep is an excellent tour guide pointing out significant historic details. Even though we did not see the Himalayas, the drive to Naragut was definitely a highlight. Ravi managed switchbacks like a pro, stopping for photo ops of terraced farming and lovely views. Bhaktapur is truly a gem and wandering the historic streets and Durban square was enchanting. Highly recommend Pradeep and Rabi. What a great time! Five stars all around!
