Catmandu Durbar Square - Privado/Pequeno Grupo

I had a lovely tour around Kathmandu with some great insights into the culture, the architecture and the history of the city.

I did a free walking tour in Kathmandu with Santosh and really enjoyed it. He’s a knowledgeable and friendly guide who explains the city’s history in a clear and engaging way. The visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square was especially interesting, with great stories and context that you wouldn’t get on your own. Highly recommended—definitely worth it!

While in Nepal my boyfriend and I did the Kathmandu Durbar Square Tour with Amazing Kathmandu Tours. Our tour guide was Santosh and he was fantastic! We walked from Thamel to Kathmandu Durbar Square first stopping at Seto Machindranath Temple. We then walked through several interesting areas, learning about the history of Nepal and the various religions and cultures, eventually arriving at Kathmandu Dubar Square. Santosh gave us a tour of the Hanuman Dhoka (Old Royal Palace), and the Kumari Ghar in hopes of seeing the Kumari herself (she did not show herself that day). We also walked past Freak Street, saw Kaal Bhairab, and walked around the Handicraft market. On the way back, we stopped at the Naradevi Temple and the Vaisha Dev Shrine, also known as the toothache tree, where people nail rupees to the tree in hopes of curing their tooth pain. We were looking for a tour with a small group (we lucked out and it was only the two of us), where we could learn a lot about the area and the history and culture of Nepal. This tour was perfect, long enough to learn a lot, but short enough to so some other adventures that day. As I hoped, Santosh taught us a lot about things we would have never learned. I especially liked learning about the fish in Asan, the tradition of hanging up images of snakes, and the religious imagery. I highly recommend taking a tour with Amazing Kathmandu Tours while in Kathmandu!

Sandip is a wonderful person and knows so much about this amazing place and its history & culture.

The city tour was a real highlight! Our guide told the city's history in a lively and engaging way. I especially enjoyed the little anecdotes and insider tips that you won't find in any guidebook. Very entertaining and highly recommended!

Santosh from Amazing Kathmandu was a very punctual guide, with lots of local knowledge on religion, local customs and local stories. We had an amazing tour for 3 days. Even though I have been to Kathmandu several times, Santosh showed me several places I have never seen before that were truly amazing. We booked a private tour which was very convenient and could easily be adapted to our wishes. We can surely recommend Amazing Kathmandu for your travels and tours in Kathmandu and Nepal!

⭐️ I had an amazing tour of Kathmandu Durbar Square with Santosh! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and guided us to places I never would have discovered on my own. Everything was smooth from start to finish, and the meeting point was super easy to find. I learned so much and genuinely enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend booking a tour with Santosh!”

I really enjoyed the Tour in a small group through the lively streets to Durbar Square. Santosh is a great guide and showed us many places off the Main Track I would have never seen otherwise. Thank you!

Santosh was extremely helpful from the very beginning. He gave me great advice on how to get around Kathmandu and even about trekking in Nepal. He took me through parts of the city I wouldn’t have explored on my own and assisted me with practical things like tickets for Durbar Square, a SIM card, and buses to Pokhara. He truly became my go-to person during my stay in Nepal.

Had a fantastic tour with Santosh. He arranges it fantastically, knows the best places and is very friendly! He has studied Nepalese history so can tell you so much!! Highly recommended!
