Occasionally, I consider just booking my own trip without using a tour company, but now I understand the importance of a good tour company. We were supposed to tour Bhutan and Nepal in March 2020. Binayak with Breakfree was able to adjust our schedule several times prior to our trip as we were travelling to other countries first and had conflicts with airline travel. The day before we arrived in Kathmandu for our flight onward to Bhutan, Bhutan shut its borders due to coronavirus. Binayak met us personally at the airport to discuss how to proceed as I had not signed into my email the day before, so I did not know. He was able to totally rearrange the trip to be entirely in Nepal without us having any inactive days. After all the rearranging, we had to leave the country prematurely due to India, our only remaining route home to the United States, closing its borders to tourists not already in country. Binayak was able to cancel the remaining trip which he had worked so hard to make with just one email. Did I mention we were not his only tourists who were supposed to be in Bhutan? This is the tour company you want when things do not go as planned!
The Kathmandu UNESCO site tour was amazing! The guide not only speaks excellent English, but has a master's degree in tourism and is able to answer nearly every question you can ask about Nepal and its people.
