As a solo traveler, I always prefer to do my itinerary on my own. I booked this tour last minute and was glad I made that last minute decision. I had a memorable city tour with my guide Sarita and driver Krishna. Sarita was knowledgeable, patient, and shared so many interesting stories and historical facts, during my visit today to the palaces and temples. I like how Sarita and Krishna smile ☺️. Had a healthy conversation also with Sarita about life in Kathmandu along the way, while Krishna ensured a smooth, comfortable ride throughout the day. Everything was well-paced, and had ample time on each temple visit. A great experience for first-time visitors to Kathmandu. Highly recommend this team!
