5.00I've participated in many tours, but I never thought of writing a review because nothing exceeded my expectations. During this trip to Nepal, I thoroughly enjoyed the company of my guide by the name of Shankar and the driver Madhu. When I booked the tour, I clearly stated all my needs to the tour operator, but the company didn't relay all my request to the guide and driver. Fortunately, we met Shankar who is responsible and flexible, immediately adjusting to our needs and being very accommodating. Meanwhile, he is also very knowledgeable in history, culture and religion, answering every question I raised. Furthermore, in Nepal, due to the poor road conditions and very narrow, winding streets, a skilled driver ensures a safe and peace-of-mind journey. For this, Madhu had done a superior job. In all, choosing a good guide and driver matters the most!
A perfect trip to explore Kathmandu & surroundings in 3 days

5.00Thank you for this amazing trip! It took me to some UNESCO World heritage sites and hill top to see the incredible Himalayan ranges and they gave me the chance to explore Durbar Square on my own as well. Himalayan Luxury Holidays planned three days itinerary because of a change of my plans and everything was organized very well. The guide was very friendly, informative & have lots of knowledge of Nepal. If you are planning to do a trip to Nepal, go with Himalayan Luxury Holidays.
