Great way to learn more about Kathmandu - We had a great experience on this urban adventure. Due to a last minute issue, our original guide was unable to attend however the urban adventure team were great at communicating the delay. Shreejan ended up filling in for this tour and did a great job, he was a wealth of information and rad the tour in a calm and considerate way. A great insight into Kathmandu.

Intrepid Travel - Katmandu tour - Bini from Intrepid immediatly made me feel like an old friend. Knowledgable, with fantastic language skills, she made the 100s of YouTube videod that i have watched come to life. She never complained about stopping every 5 mins so that i could take more photographs. The perfect guide.

Rickshaw tour with a rockstar guide – – Yogi - Our family took a UNESCO heritage tour of Kathmandu, and we were concerned that there would be overlap with the rickshaw tour. We were absolutely delighted that there was no overlap at all. Our guide, Yogi, was a rockstar! He was knowledgeable, flexible, and gave us a fantastic experience. We even went to dinner together afterwards we, enjoyed his company that much. Yogi happens to be gluten-sensitive like two of our family members, and that was a tremendous benefit in terms of generally helping us in making our food selections. Yogi would be a great choice for this really interesting tour, and he would also be a great choice as a freelancer if you are visiting. Be aware that there is almost no interaction with the rickshaw drivers as they do not speak English. They also expect a small tip at the end which was fine. They worked very hard.

Touring Patan and Bhaktapur with Sanjeeb. - It was a lovely day spent touring Patan and Bhaktapur with INTREPID’s guide Sanjeeb. I recommend Sanjeeb for his knowledge of Nepalese history and culture. He was able to answer all questions I had and he gave me very valuable tips while in Nepal. He also takes great photos!!
