Best guide ever - Best guide ever! Our experience in Kathmandu was truly exceptional thanks to our local guide, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate. They guided us through temples, markets, and historical sites, enriching every stop with fascinating stories and cultural insights.

Their deep understanding of Nepalese history and traditions made the trip so much more meaningful. Always punctual and cheerful, they turned each day into a memorable adventure. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the true spirit of Kathmandu.

Excellent guide with fluent English - Prakash and his driver took me to all the sites as promised. Communication was excellent from booking time. His command of English was outstanding. He explained the historical, cultural and religious significance of all the sites and went at my pace. He ensured my safety and stuck close so not to loose me in busy areas. Picking me up and dropping me off was seamless from my accommodation. I would recommend his services anytime.
