Food tour to Kathmandu's hidden places - We booked our tour last minute, but they reacted immediately. We had an amazing private food tour through various hidden local places in Kathmandu. Swoyam has been a very social and enthusiastic guide telling us all about Nepali cuisine and everyday life.

Food, markets, temples, oh my! - This is the best tour if you want secret food and see the markets at the same time! Tourist will never be able to find these places. Small little alleyways, where I was the only foreigner eating real Nepalese food. Come hungry, my guide even packed up the last place that I ate for dinner since I was so full. I even had them pick me up via taxi from my hotel so I didn’t have to worry about making those arrangements (Extra cost, but well worth it for convenience.) A great introduction to the country!

Stunning and Filling :-) - We walked from the hotel to the adjacent neighborhoods at 3:00 p.m. I was shown many secret places and corridors and led to authentic places, markets, courtyards and squares that I probably would never have found on my own. It was nice to be able to immerse yourself in the local culture and get to know the authentic life in Kathmandu in addition to the tourist district Thamel.

Superb experience, try it! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly about the different types of food we got to taste, there was a mixture of Newari, Nepalese and Indian food. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Would recommend doing this at the start if your holiday do you make informed decisions about what to eat.

Delicious food and great photos & video!! - I was picked up from my hotel and walked to each place. Every place completely different from the last. The flavors of the food, kindness and information from the guide and sights and sounds of the city were spectacular! I was too full to eat the last meal so they were kind enough to pack it for me and I brought it back to my hotel. Looking back, the price was amazing for a whole afternoon/evening out filled with food and dessert. My tour guide Swoyam was awesome!! Highly recommend this experience!!

Food tour with Jivraj - Incredible tour with Jivraj. The food was very tasteful and he is a very chill guy. I asked him a lot of questions about Nepali culture and he answered very patiently. One advice though : DON'T eat before the tour. You'll be full before the end of it, especially if you do it alone.

A great experience! - It was a unique food tour that was professionally organized. We visited several nice eateries that I would otherwise never have found. Furthermore, the food was incredibly tasty. This is definitely a must do when you are in Kathmandu. A good combination of exploring the city and tasting Nepali food.

5 Star Experience - We did this amazing momo cooking class organised by I. Experience Nepal. It was a delicious activity to do when you are in Kathmandu. It was organised with a local family who has been delivering his knowledge about momo cooking since long. We tried making chicken and vegetables momos. Mixing up spices for the keemas, kneeding the dough, and folding them into different shapes and making tomato sauce was a very fun activity. We also got to try a local homemade drink called Aaila, sitting with the family and having the momos we shaped is unforgettable. And our guide/translator was also very nice and knowledgeable . Absolutely loved it, and definitely recommend.
