4.00The food choices were all good and for the most part tasty. Def tried some things I normally would not try. I took one star away because we had three dishes at one place and I felt like part of the fun should be to try each dish at a new place. I also was not a fan of the Momo we had (I have had better in town). Our guide was really good and very knowledgeable.
Amazing food tour

5.00My father and I had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He showed us so many amazing foods that we wouldn’t have known to try! We are very grateful for this.
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. See the food, see the culture!

5.00This food tour was AMAZING! Food is the best way to experience a local culture, and Deepak knows that and shows that. He’s so knowledgeable and passionate about food and Nepali culture. He himself has done a lot of traveling, so he knows what we’re looking for and can oftentimes compare many different culture aspects. This is a GREAT amount of food. In fact, come hungry! You’ll get healthy portions on the different stops, and you’ll be ready for the next stop/tastings after a healthy walk throughout historic Kathmandu. You’ll need that time to digest! ;) I would absolutely do this again, and highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Thanks, Deepak!
Fun, Friendly, and very Filling! Arrive Hungry!!!

5.00Arrive hungry! We stopped at 5 places and had 9 dishes, I was so full at the end I took a 2 hour nap! It was a great tour filled with a mixture of Nepalese History, backgrounds about food, the holidays, and how dishes are similar or different in other countries! We were able to ask questions, laugh, and walk away with a deep appreciation for the local food. It was a great tour. But seriously, come hungry.
A real taste of Nepal
