Wonderful Kathmandu day tour with Frolic Adventure! Even with the carful in Kathmandu, I felt safe and cared for throughout the trip.
Thank you very much for your great review!
We had an amazing experience exploring Kathmandu with Frolic Adventure, and our guide Rajesh truly made the day unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and religious significance of each site we visited, including Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, and Swayambhunath. His passion for his country and culture shone through every explanation, and he was always happy to answer our questions in detail. Rajesh was also friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the tour. Everything was perfectly organized and timed, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. If you're planning a day tour in Kathmandu, we highly recommend Frolic Adventure — and be sure to ask for Rajesh!

Namaste Rajesh !! Arranged our Everest base camp Helicopter trip and what an experience!!! Then the next day took us on the day tour around Kathmandu, even dropped us off at the airport for our onward travels. Thank you so much and sorry it’s taken us a while to write this review, 100% would recommend and use again. Thanks again Steve and group
Namaste Steve! Thank you very much for your great review and support! Hope to see you again!
The day tour included places all around Kathmandu, such as the Monkey temple, the Palace, the Bouddahanath, Durbar Square, the Kumari, Art galleries, and Pashupatinath. Rajesh was very knowledgeable about the history and stories of each place, and allowed time for a bit of wandering, inquiries, and photos. We drove to most sites, but there was a lot of walking from place to place as well, so comfortable shoes are a must! It was overall very fascinating and a wonderful way to spend the day exploring and learning.
Thank you very much, Sarah, for your great review! Have a wonderful day ahead and a safe trek to Everest Base Camp! We hope to see you soon!
