Exceeded expectations - Guide Namaraj was excellent and very flexible. It took us about 12 hours to see all 7 UNESCO sites (because we were slow). Some guides might become frustrated with this or say we have run out of time to see them all, but not Namaraj. It felt as if our experience was the most important aspect for him and he went out of his way to ensure it exceeded expectations. Highly recommended and excellent value.

Informative Tour - I read below that Sujan wasn't knowledgeable about the tour, and I completely disagree with that. He was punctual and gave amount of time to prepare, explore, and explain things during the tour. He was considerate and respect your time and asked if you have any questions or doubts during the tour. Overall, it was a nice tour and you will be able to learn more than what it is included in the tour.

Best tour to experience so many UNESCO sites - Outstanding tour to see a whopping 7 UNESCO sites in one day. It’s very relaxing and non-rush. My guide, Ram Timsina, is top-notch. He would patiently explain everything in details while making sure I’m well taken care of. I recommend this tour.
