A fun, interesting and flexible (private) day in Kathmandu. The city has loads to offer and our guide Umesh made it all accessible. My wife and I really appreciate the flexibility of private as we often wish to shorten, lengthen or otherwise change the itinerary. On this occasion, for example, we engaged our guide to help us find a tailor and negotiate for the sewing of some bespoke shirts. It all makes the city so much more accessible!
Namaste, Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the flexibility of a private tour and that Umesh could assist in making your day in Kathmandu convenient and memorable. We truly appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to welcoming you back to Nepal for more enriching experiences in Bhutan and Tibet. Warm regards, Shepherd Holidays Team
