Interesting tour with good guide! - We had our tour earlier this week and were really enthousiastic about this. Our guide, Puspa, knew a lot about the city, temples, culture and religion. She learned us a lot and was able to answer all our questions and more! The places we visited were really impressive and the stories behind it were told really clear. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Private Nepal sightseeing tour by car - what a memorable trip!!! - We as a family of 4 enjoyed a 10 days trip through Nepal. Royal Mountain Travel was a very professional travel agency right from the start to the end.
Mr. Ashish made sure that all necessary travel documents were complete and then designed a travel iternary according to our family members interests. Even a short at notice change in traveling from Kathmandu to Pokhara by air was professionally organized. All aspects of sights were included starting with sightseeing in Kathmandu and Pokhara, visiting temple sites, interesting restaurants, local neighborhoods, and enjoying a half day community hike to Panauti where we all had a chance to eat with a local family. Our tour guide Akshay catered to everyones interest and gave us many detailed infos about the places we visited during our stay in Kathmandu. He spoke perfect English and we enjoyed many pleasant sightseeing tours together with him. Also our tour guide in Pokhara Mr. Sundi was very knowledgeable and showed us many important landmarks and local sights. All our drivers during our trip were extraordinary, always on time, very patient and gentle even in the most chaotic traffic. All cars were spacious and well maintained! Thank you so much Royal Mountain Travel for making this trip an unforgettable experience!!!

Unforgettable - Wonderful experience, everything is very different to the European way of life. Fascinating palaces and temples, street life with its "orderly" chaos. Very nice momomo cooking class with Kirtipur women. Our Guide, Sujan, was part of this adventure making it all easier.

Decent tour, don't expect too much. - It was an ok tour. Only stopped at three places (which was clear in the itinerary). No info given in between....the guide and driver just spoke to each other in Nepalese, so I played on my phone and looked out the window. Entrance fees were 2000 rupees (1000 each at 2 stops).
