Rozit was an excellent... - Rozit was an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable, personable and seems to truly care about his guests. I really enjoyed my time with Rozit and it felt like hanging out with a local friend. I never felt rushed at the sites and it was a pleasure to get to know him and to get to know Kathmandu through the eyes of a local. I recommend this tour and recommend Rozit as your guide.

Patan and Bhaktapur - I booked the Patan and Bhaktapur tour at short notice and Santosh at Urban Adventures was very accommodating. Had a great day with Shreejan! He was so knowledgeable and made a great recommnedation of keema for lunch!! A great way to get a bit further out of Kathmandu if you're travelling alone. Plus you get some information about what you're looking at, which you don't get without a guid.

Bini was superb! A must especially for people interested in spirituality Nepal… - Bini was amazing. Our tour was very informative and interesting. She made sure we are comfortable and even patiently answered any questions we had about the tour and Nepal. She helped us find a person who does palm reading and astrology. She showed us around the cremation area and learned so many interesting things about how Nepalese people deal with death both on the Hinduism and Buddhist religion. She also taught us basic we needed to know about the temples here. Rotating clockwise, being blessed by a monk with a braid. I can’t thank her enough for everything she had done for us. She went the extra mile. Bini is definitely one of the best tour guides this company has. She is very kind, intelligent (she knows a lot), patient and fun to be with (made us really comfortable).

See Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar Square with a local - I went to the Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar Square tour with Shreejan. It was an amazing time & I highly encourage more people to get out of Kathmandu and explore the rest of the valley. Shreejan was a great guide and along with the great knowledge he had as a local to the area, he introduced me to craftspeople who showed and explained their works. It was a rewarding experience to see these important and vital places for the Nepalese people.

Insightful Tour - Yogesh was an insightful tour guide. He was accommodating of my delayed flight and made sure I still got to experience the full tour. He was extremely patient with all my questions and even made sure that I felt comfortable and safe the whole tour as the tour went on late. Highly recommend.
