5.00Our driver/tour guide Pujan was punctual and courteous. Our private tour and itinerary of 5 sites/ 5 hours in Pokhara provided a very good overview of the major sites in Pokhara without feeling rushed. Overall good value per price point even though entrance fees and tour guide tip are not included, but explained in the disclosures.
Great City Tour

5.00This was a great way to spend a few hours and get to see some things that would be difficult to take a taxi to and get back. Pujan was my driver/guide and he was great. His English was exceptional, he was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. The Devis Falls and cave were interesting. The Museum of Nepali Mountaineering was informative with lots of photos of the world's highest peaks. The views from the Peace Stupa were absolutely amazing the morning we went. You could see all the mountains. Highly recommend this tour
Good tour, great guide

5.00Guide Pujan Thapa was excellent! Highly knowledgeable (not only knew who George Mallory was, but took me right to his picture in the Mountaineering museum), patient (I struggled with the 200 steps to the Peace Temple!) and flexible (I cut the cave short - was fading from an early sunset rise). Highly recommended! Tour itself was well designed with different experiences and a good "sample" of Pokhara sights
Peaceful Reflections at Phewa Lake – A Moment to Remember

5.00Phewa Lake in Pokhara is pure magic — calm, scenic, and soul-soothing. As I sat on a boat slowly gliding over the still waters, the reflection of the Annapurna range on the lake felt like a painting coming to life. We visited this beautiful spot during our Nepal tour organized by HappyOuting, and it truly became one of the highlights of the journey. The boat ride was peaceful, and stopping by the Tal Barahi Temple in the middle of the lake added a divine touch to the whole experience. The surroundings are full of life — colorful cafes, artists, and local vendors add charm to the lakeside. You can enjoy paragliding, cycling, or just take a walk on the peaceful promenade. Phewa Lake isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling of stillness amidst life’s chaos. Perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. If you’re in Pokhara, don’t miss this gem. And if you want your experience to be well-organized and hassle-free, I highly recommend booking with HappyOuting. They handled everything perfectly — from hotel to activities.
Highly recommend

Great way to get a taste of Pokhara

4.00This was a good way to get a flavor of Pokhara. You can’t be claustrophobic and must be ok being around crowds to see the cave, but I thought it was well worth it. The highlight was Pagoda Hill with its magnificent pagoda overlooking Pokhara. Our driver was a super nice guy. Definitely worth the cost and time.
Do Not Recommend Pokhara in 5 Hours

1.00DO NOT PAY BEFORE TOUR. I was expecting a tour guide and I received a driver who did not know very good english nor where we were going for the day. I canceled after the first location, since it is much cheaper to just pay for individual cabs to each site. Overall, was very disappointed and would not recommend. Driver that came was very kind just not knowledgeable and unable to help with any questions I had, he too was very confused with where to go and I had to explain each location. Cab was very clean and driver was on time.
The hurry trip

5.00The best tour with the best guide and best tour managing office. Personally I don't even feel bored while roaming. The guide was well educated and was very friendly and gentle. Their service like picking up from the place you stay and dropping you in that place was very nice and on time. They give priority to the guests and do their best to make us comfortable and happy. Even the vehicles they used was very comfortable and clean. I would recommend this travel office. Believe me you will not regret your choice.
5 hours you won't get back

2.00You would have to be totally bored. World peace pagoda is worth the views. The rest of it pails into insignificance compared to what the country has to offer. Plus side, driver was friendly, service was on time, car was clean and modern.
