Excellent, simply the best - Simply excellent ! Abit is a true passionnante guide, a cultural mediator, professeur of history, explainer of many religious facts regarding hindouisme and bouddhisme and has a lot of anecdotes to share. I came to find a tour guide, i found the best one on the world and a New friend ! Driving was excellent too.

Extraordinary experience with our guide Puspa and driver Shanti. - We spent two whole days with our guide Puspa and Shanti (driver) to explore Kathmandu and the Kathmandu valley. Puspa was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. She was very warmhearted and easy to talk to. By chatting to her we learned a lot about Nepalese family life, culture and authentic food. Shanti was an excellent and reliable driver and easily navigated out of difficult traffic situations. Both are highly recommended and surely will make your trip a very special one. We enjoyed every second.

Incredible value for money - Anup’s knowledge of history, culture and religion is vast. In terms of information this is some of the best value for money you’ll get. The tour was comfortable and pitched at an appropriate pace, with plenty of time to take pictures or stop for a bite to eat.

Tour was great - Guide Anup was even better! - I took the day trip tour to Bhaktapur and Panauti from Kathmandu in late December 2024 and it was one of the best tours I’ve been on and I truly believe that Anup, my guide, was the key ingredient.
The tour was incredibly informative. Both Anup and the Driver were waiting for me at the pick up location in a sleek BYD SUV so the ride was incredibly comfortable. We first made a stop in Bhaktapur where Anup taught me so much about the kingdoms that came before modern Nepal. I also asked Anup endless amount of questions throughout the tour and he was not only receptive but encouraging in my curiosity. It was such a joy to be able to nerd out with Anup, who has a masters degree in Nepali history. Being with Anup on that day really made me reflect on guides I have had before on other tours and that Anup is by far the most informed and smart guide out there.
We also stopped for a coffee with a great view over one of the squares and then we got to try king curd, which is like a yoghurt specialty in the region. It was excellent!!!
We then proceeded to Panuati. My one regret is not getting lunch while on the tour…but that is entirely my fault since I have a bad habit of skipping lunch most days. My sincere apologies to Anup and the Driver, who I almost certainly starved by skipping lunch lol. So to potential guests who are looking to join this tour, don’t be like me! Instead, grab lunch since there is an opportunity to go to a local person‘s house for lunch in Panauti.
All in all, my deepest thanks to Anup who is an A+++ guide. Being with Anup on the tour was like walking around with a documentarian who knew everything about Nepal. If you join this tour, I sincerely believe you should try to request for Anup specifically. Have fun, y’all! (Oh and if it matters to you, Anup speaks excellent English and helped take really great photos of me!)

5/5 Sightseeing-Tour - The tour with Anup was fantastic!
He impressed us with his knowledge, charm, and engaging anecdotes. Visiting Bhaktapur and Panauti was an incredible experience, full of history and culture.
A special highlight was the lunch with a local family in Panauti – a unique opportunity to connect with the community and experience authentic hospitality.
The route was perfectly planned, combining major landmarks with hidden gems.
Highly recommended!
