Vibrant day in Kathmandu visiting the temples - We had a great tour with Sudipa, a very friendly and well informed female guide. She has a good knowledge and answered all our questions. After all there’s so much to see and she taughed us also a lot about culture and the life in Kathmandu and Nepal. When we got tired she changed the tour a little so we were able to see everything, she’s very caring. We enjoyed our day very much and would definitely recommend this tour.

Great architecture. - Unfortunately I did not record the names of the places we visited but the first two sites were really interesting with great architecture. The apparition of the Kumari at Her window for a few seconds was kind of odd but I guess an interesting part of Nepalese religious culture. We were less impressed by the white giant stupa. The visit of the crematorium was morbid but once again showing a part of Nepalese culture.

A great introduction to Kathmandu - I was very pleased with this tour and with my guide, Krishna A. He was very kind and patient, giving lots of good details about each site we visited. He took his time to make sure we were not rushed through the tour. Would definitely recommend to other first-time visitors to Kathmandu.

They forgot about my booking - The guide was fine in the end, but they were over an hour late, and only came at all because my hotel called several times asking what had happened. When I called they claimed I had no booking. So I asked the hotel to help, they called and the tour operator claimed the car was on the way, 20 minutes later they said the car went to the airport (5 minutes from my hotel). 20 minutes later they said the car was on it's way again. After an hour of waiting, and being lied too, the car showed up with no guide, we had to go get him. Now 1.5 hours behind schedule the guide said he was called earlier that morning and asked to quickly come get me, he made it clear he didn't work directly for this operator. Lots of other people offer this tour, book with any of them just not these guys.
