The guide and driver were very punctual and super kind. Our driver was incredible at navigating his way though the tight traffic. The guide knew everything about the places we visited and helped me with other things, like recharging our phone minutes, grocery shopping and being super accommodating with our 4 year old daughter.

The guide arranged everything according to my wishes, very customised. Very knowledgeable. I wanted to stay a little longer at the crematorium and that was no problem at all. Would have been great to have a bottle of water free of charge as part of the tour, it was quite hot during the day.

Organization and implementation were perfect. Our guide was easy to understand and we had a great day in Kathmandu.
