An excellent guide, an excellent day - My partner and I booked this tour for the one full day that we were in Kathmandu and were not disappointed. Our local guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, answering any questions we had about any topic related to the area. We were very impressed with his knowledge and blown away by the local things he showed us including the local monasteries and temples (in addition to the larger sites listed). We would both HIGHLY recommend booking this tour with this guide. It is a full packed day, so you should leave your whole day open to enjoy when booking).

Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini - My treks took me Pokhara in the central region to Chitwan and Lumbini in the Southwest of Nepal. Each place special and each place truly a must see if you really want to experience all that Nepal has to offer. You will get an indepth cultural tour of enlightening history of Buddha and his beginnings and all the temples and their meaning ls. To visiting the forest and taking a safari home to one of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros and is also one of the last refuges of the Bengal Tiger. To watching the most amazing sunrise over the Himalayans. Your guides will not disappoint. I truly left feeling a part of me came back with such a beautiful imprint of Nepal. Thank you INepal for everything. Planning was just perfect.

Highly recommend the Life and Spirituality tour and more - We arranged a nice package of day tours and trek with Rabi from I tour Nepal as well as stayed in their very comfortable familly guest house. The life and spirituality focus is very relevant for anyone interested to explore and understand where Nepali culture with all of its mixtures and symbolisms comes from and I would highly recommend their tours and familly stay. I will certainly be using their services again

Great experience - We are from Canada and had only 1 day to stay in Kathmandu after the Tibet tour. We decided to take a Life and Spirituality tour. That was amazing.Our guide Indra was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He showed us so many very interesting places around Kathmandu with such a detailed explanation. No way we could find those places without him . It took us almost 8 hours but it looked like we spent a few months. Incredible experience. We can highly recommend it to everyone!

Kathmandu, 5-days experience - I came to Nepal from China for 5 days. I decided to stay in Kathmandu. As I am interested in religion, spirituality and nature, I decided to divide my stay in 2 parts - 3 days in different parts of the capital and two walks/hikes around Kathmandu. I am a solo female traveler, so on my first visit of Nepal I decided to book a private tour with i Tour Nepal. The whole tour was organised very nicely, logically hence everything went smoothly. I was picked up from the airport on my arrival and taken to the hotel. Next day my private guide Rabi picked me up from the hotel and by private car took me to explore historical centre of Kathmandu. Rabi is a very knowledgeable, well-educated guide who understands the needs and interests of his clients. We were able to explain very clearly difficult concepts connected to Buddhism, Hinduism and Tantrism. He explained symbolism of the painting and carvings. It wasn't just sightseeing tour, it was an educational experience. On another day Rabi took me to two other significant parts of Kathmandu. It was a walking tour with stops at market places, museums, local lesser places and ceramic workshops. Rabi took great care of me - answered all the questions, modified the tour according to my preferences and needs and just made me feel home in Nepal. Other two days were walks/hikes around Kathmandu with another local guide. It was a pleasant walk. All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend this travel agency and Mr Rabi particularly for those who want to know Kathmandu better and enjoy trouble free stay in Nepal.

Just the city giude we were hoping to find! - I'm a foreigner living in Kathmandu, and in April 2024 my family and friends came here for my wedding. I was struggling to find a personal recommendation for a tour guide, but luckily I met Rabi dai of iTour Nepal Privaye Day Tours! I felt so lucky that I found such a knowledgeable and professional guide to show the city's best sights to my overseas visitors. Rabi was easy to communicate with, and he's just a really nice guy. If I ever come across someone looking for a city guide in Kathmandu, I'll be sure to send them Rabi dai's details! Many thanks for giving us such a great tour 🙏

A fruitful day - I made the reservation relatively late, but my guide still arranged the itinerary for me and responded to messages immediately. In addition to visiting the important sightseeing spots in Kathmandu, I also gained a wealth of knowledge during the trip, including the religion in Nepal. Thoughts and their culture, architecture, history and life, the guide is very patient and gives detailed explanations. You can ask him for advice on spiritual and religious issues, and you will have a very fruitful day.
