Kathmandu tour - It was a nice trip. The car was clean and air-conditioned, the drive was smooth. Paras was friendly and knowledgeable. There was no rush, I could enjoy every place to the fullest. As a female solo traveler I felt very safe. Was a great thing to do on my last day in Kathmandu and they conveniently dropped me off at the airport. Highly recommended!

Very professional and knowledgeable - Very professional and plenty of years of experience. We felt extremely comfortable with everything he planned for us and how honest he was about what we would be able to see. Unfortunately it was monsoon season so we had to cancel the helicopter and do the plane instead but we felt so glad to have someone as professional and honest and felt fortunate to have found him. The experience (plane or helicopter) is well worth it. We decided to go on a guided tour of the city visiting some of the UNESCO sites and our tour guide Paras was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Glad we met them both, we highly recommend and will go through them if we go back to Nepal as well as recommend to family and friends.

Fantastic tour! - Paras was awesome! We saw 4-5 of the most important cultural sites, and he explained everything…even providing a few recommendations for a return trip. Our driver was fantastic as well!

Exceptional company - What a wonderful company! I had 36 hours in Kathmandu, and was looking for a blend of culture, history, and nature. Buddhi is incredibly helpful and transparent — not only did he arrange a day-of, reasonably priced private tour of Kathmandu with the knowledge and lovely guide Paras, he also sat down with me in person to walk through what an Everest helicopter tour entails the day before we were looking to fly. Incredibly ethical company, you’ll have a top-notch experience. Thank you, Buddhi and Paras!

Take me to Kathmandu! - Paras was fantastic, very knowledgeable. If you haven't been to Kathmandu yet, it's a must stop. The culture, the people, the history, the food all fantastic. The driver was awesome too. I highly recommend this tour and these fine people. The hospitality is top notch.

Great Kathmandu Tour Experience - Well-organized tour, with a very knowledgeable tour guide. We did the Mt Everest helicopter tour (with the same tour company) in the morning, then did this Kathmandu highlights tour in the afternoon. Just like the morning tour, we were impressed by how well-organized this tour company was... being able to cover most of the "can't miss" tourist sites in Kathmandu in such a very short time... and we didn't feel rushed at all. Pacing was right, and schedule was dynamically updated/adjusted as we went along. Paras, our tour guide, was an excellent story teller, which kept me and my wife very interested aboit the different places that we visited. A big bonus is Paras' excellent photography skill. He's a great help in documenting your Kathmandu memories. This tour company is very highly recommended if you want to visit Kathmandu.... and if Paras is available when you schedule your tour, I very highly recommend him.

This is a must see in Kathmandu - While in Nepal, we used several companies organizing trips. The impressions were different. Kathmandu tour is definitely worth its decent price. The guide and driver arrived on time. The car was very comfortable. A very communicative guide with extensive knowledge and experience. I highly recommend.
