“Had a fabulous day with Anon in Kathmandu. Great guide accommodating all requests, very knowledgeable and good companion! I did not do justice to Kathmandu trying to cover all 7 UNESCO sites in one day - probably worth 2-3 days - but Anon was very generous with his time, and we went well into the evening to meaningfully cover the itinerary. Krishna, our driver had been great too, very safe and careful transfer around the city. Has learnt a lot about culture, architecture, people, food, religion. A well balanced trip! Highly recommended.”

“Pooja was an absolute delight to have as our guide in Kathmandu. From the very start, she was warm, accommodating, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable for both my 9-year-old daughter and me. Her deep understanding of the history and cultural significance of each site brought the tour to life in a way that felt engaging and immersive. While the itinerary was originally quite fast-paced, Pooja was wonderfully flexible, allowing us to tailor the day based on how we felt. We ended up opting out of three of the seven planned stops, and she made sure that the ones we did visit were meaningful and well-paced. She pretty much…”
