I had the pleasure of extending my stay in kathmandu and booking this activity very last minute. I was the only person signed up for that time and they were able to still accommodate me for a very reasonable price increase. Umesh was my guide and he was very pleasant, cordial and knowledgeable. As a solo female traveling for the first time to nepal, this was a great experience to explore beautiful views while learning about Nepal's culture as well. 100% recommended

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide(Dharma) today on 26th May. Dharma was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour enjoyable and comfortable for us. He explained everything whenever we had questions. What impressed us the most was how helpful and kind he was. Even after the tour had already finished. Dharma personally helped us carry and bring our luggage by walking with us to our new hotel, which we truly appreciated. His kindness and dedication went beyond our expectations. We are very grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring tour guide.
Namaste. Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Dharma made your tour enjoyable with his knowledge, friendliness, and genuine care. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more amazing experiences in Nepal!
Our excursion with Casey was I tremendous way of learning culture, seeing historical landmarks, and enjoying a hike through the "hills"! My wife and I had a lovely time getting to know Casey, our tour guide who was so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does! He really took the time to get to know us as people and also taught us a lot about the culture which I couldn't appreciate enough! I would no doubt recommend him to anyone wishing to experience a fantastic new experience with a wide variety of things to do and see!
Namaste. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Casey made your experience both enjoyable and meaningful through his passion, knowledge, and personal approach.
