“My first time to use the app to book trips to neighboring cities (Patan/Bhaktapur). Rajendra was super helpful in introducing these cities (as well as hidden paths) to me and explaining histories of various temples/palaces. Will definitely stay in these cities for a few days next time. The driver was super skillful in navigating zig zagging mountain roads. Highly recommend visitors use its services!!!”
