          Perfect family outing with incredible views
          We had an incredible time with Kabita our tour guide - the views were breathtaking and there were tons of activities for our thrill-seeking child and our non-thrill seeking child. Kabita was patient and let us have all the time we needed to soak up the views. Recommend going in the morning for a better chance at clear views - by 1 pm the clouds had started to drop lower.

          Fantastic guide!
          We had a wonderful time! Our guide Madan was extremely informative and personable. The hike was really interesting and beautiful and not physically demanding - it's almost all downhill. The sunrise was very unexciting because of the haze, but if it was a clear day it would have been excellent.

          Truly delightful experience
          Our guide Ananta was truly delightful. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He answered all of our questions and shared interesting historical facts and stories including information about Nepal at large, not just the sites that we were visiting. He rearranged the order of the tour to accommodate traffic around our hotel and also offered to take us shopping for wedding shoes. He negotiated for us and allowed us to take our time, which extended well beyond the scheduled tour time. We would highly recommend Ananta as a tour guide!

          Great Half Day Tour
          The tour was great, no issues with anything. My guide Shanti was great; very knowledgeable, was able to answer any questions I had, and gave a good amount of facts without overdoing it. I had a great afternoon.

          Great Sunrise Views and Nature Walk
          Starting the morning watching the sunrise over the Himalayans was a great start to the day. It's not something you can see down in Kathmandu valley and it was great to get away from the city and see that. The car ride up to the lookout point was easy and comfortable. The local restaurant we stopped at to get breakfast (potatoes, curry, egg and masala chai) was very authentic and delicious. The walking tour through Nagarkot was very interesting. We went about 5 km in about 2 hours and it was all downhill. We made many stops along the way where our tour guide would give us information and let us walk around a bit if we stopped at a point of interest. Seeing rural life up close while getting awesome views of the valley from high up was really cool. We did do a surprise stop at a large suspension bridge which we walked across and back. I thought the views were great from the bridge! After exploring the Changu Narayan temple for a bit, we stopped to get some more masala chai and momos at a restaurant near the temple. The ride back was easy and convenient! The tour guide was very responsive to how we were doing and was full of great information!

          Ananta rocks!
          Our guide Ananta was superbly knowledgeable about each site we went to and gave a lot of details the whole day about Nepal as a whole as well. We felt very safe and well taken care of all day. Ananta is also an amazing person and we were really grateful to meet him and hear about his life.

          GREAT tour, well worth it!!!
          This tour was well worth it! Our guide Ananta was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing so many stories and insights at every location. We learned so much and the tour helped us understand the culture and rituals at each site in so much more depth than we would have just visiting on our own. Having the driver was super helpful and Ananta helped us navigate walking through the busy streets. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Boudhanath Stupa. We needed to shop for wedding shoes after the tour and Ananta took us shopping in a nearby place. He really went above and beyond to make our day special and memorable. He also made sure to take tons of pictures of us throughout the tour. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour and ask for Ananta as your guide!!

          Remarkable Baktapur
          This was a spectacular tour of the temples, back alleys, and religious relics of old Baktapur. This tour added so much to my understanding of this very ancient part of the world. My guide had seemingly endless knowledge of each historical period as well as some fascinating facts about the earthquake damage suffered in the last quake. Baktapour is a resilient city, not to be missed.

          Perfect way to spend a day in Kathmandu
          While we did not see the mountains due to haze, our trip was still wonderful. Madan (our guide) and our driver were both wonderful. Breakfast was delicious. Walking through the mountain neighborhoods of Nagarkot was perfect way to see real semi-rural life in Nepal. I especially enjoyed seeing the many goats, chickens and dogs. Madan had a wealth of information and was easy to spend the day with. Our driver was calm behind the wheel and kept us safe in the chaos of the Kathmandu streets.

          Excellent Day Hike
          The views were amazing, I could easily see the Himalayas. Also really enjoyed the hike down from Nagarkrot - it only took about 2 hours but we saw several local villages and temples.

          Views, experiences, & so much more!
          Amazing view, informative guide that was not only aware of the tourist objects we visited but also the current situation of his country (you can ask him anything!), & good photo taking skill from the guide for you to bring amazing pictures home! Nagarkot was an amazing place to view most of the Himalayan mountain range (most of the famous peak were visible from here) with the multicolored sunrise sky as the backdrop. The hike will also give you unique experience of seeing up close the daily lives of the Nepali villagers on the hill. My guide, Shishir, was very helpful and supportive During our hike downhill I realized that i forgot my wallet uphill after 15-20 minutes of walk and the guide ran uphill to fetch the wallet while asking me to wait downhill. He returned with the wallet safe and its content intact :) Definitely worth your time & money!

          A nice half day getaway
          Shanti is a very knowledgeable guide. She explained all the detail we need to know about the temple as well as answered all our questions. She even kind enough to tour us through the stores next to the temple. 我們的導遊非常專業,詳細的講解了我們前往的神廟的歷史及神話傳說,讓我們更好的理解了印度教神話。一路上遊客很少,這裡遠離加德滿都熱門旅遊景點。逛完神廟我們又去週邊的小市集採買紀念品,這是一個很不錯的半日遊。

          Beautiful Kathmandu sights and cultural insights in a relaxed private trip
          Beautiful Kathmandu sights and cultural insights in a relaxed private trip. Ananta is a very helpful and accommodating guide — not intuitive yet super helpful and insightful. Highlights for me were the cable car ride and Hindu temple. Highly recommend.

        Our tour covered all the main areas of Kathmandu and outer regions. Our tour guide, Rabina was lovely and so welcoming - it was great for us two girls to have such a warm, friendly face. Rabina answered all our questions and made our experience an unforgettable one!
