Wonderful experience - My friend and I had such a wonderful time with Shreejan. He answered all our questions, and he was great at figuring out what we already knew and adjusting to tell us more in-depth information when he learned what we were already familiar with. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

He showed me all the sites and sounds around Kathmandu and was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed myself. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Fun way to see the real city! - We arrived on a holiday. Sanzeeb (?) showed us all around the tourist and local areas. Very knowledgeable and informative. He answered all of our questions. Zooming in and around hoards of people, other rickshaws, motorbikes, and small vehicles, we learned so much! I definitely recommend this tour at the beginning of your visit!

An amazing, magical insight into Kathmandu!! - This was an amazing experience! Shreejan was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. He gave me great insight into Buddhism, Hinduism & Nepali culture. The rickshaw ride was an amazing way to see the city. We saw places I don’t think I would have found on my own. 100% recommend this tour for the best way to see the city at night.
