Santosh gives a top-notch tour. He is friendly and knowledgeable on Nepali history. I was the only person signed up for my tour and he still gave me the best experience he could. Taking this tour with Santosh on my first day in Kathmandu was a great way to get my bearings in the city and learn about some of the most important history. Highly recommended!
