Amazing Food Tour - We had a really great time on this tour. Deepak was an amazing guide and so much fun to chat about all things Kathmandu with. My husband and I had a great time with him. When I wanted to get a Pashmina and my husband wanted to go to a lounge, Deepak stayed with me and showed me the best places to make my purchases and then even walked me to where my husband was waiting to make sure I got there safely. It was truly a lovely trip and I would absolutely suggest it to anyone looking for a fun time. NOTE: Many food tours don’t give you full meals and I often end up hungry afterwards - this is NOT that tour. After the first stop I was concerned how I was going to eat more. I did, of course, and it was delicious, but you will be full when this tour ends.

Walking food tour in old Kathmandu - Deepak very kindly met me at my hotel with short notice. I had booked this tour on the following day by mistake. We walked around old Kathmandu and Thamel, sampling approximately 8 or 9 very traditional Nepali street foods. All were very different to the food on the menus in the larger restaurants. The shops were mostly very small and were owned and the food prepared, cooked and served by the hard working owners. I tasted flavours and foods that I had not tasted before, and ate in small places that no one would know about without an experienced local guide. This tour gave me a glimpse into the non touristy life of the neighbourhood. Thank you Deepak. Deepak is an excellent guide as he enjoys talking about his culture and he lives in the city.

Thoughtfully curated and great introduction to the local cuisine - Deepak was a consumate guide, sharing stories as he took us from store to store to sample the local cuisine. Go hungry as the portions quickly add up. I also think adding this earlier in your visit would be great as you can visit the same stalls again if you wished later on. I liked that he picked a mixture of restaurants and smaller hole-in-the-wall places, and shared why he picked these spots. Food was delicious. I added the rickshaw tour as part of the experience and that came before we joined a larger group for the food walk. It was a great way to experience the city. So thank you, Deepak!

Best food tour in Kathmandu - Omg please book this tour if you’re looking for a food tour in Kathmandu. Deepak is an amazing guide with so much caring for his guests. I tasted so many foods and learnt a lot about each plates, its ingredients and even its story. Not only Deepak sharing with you about the foods, but also Kathmandu city! At the end he even sent you what you eat on the tour. I couldn’t recommend Deepak and his food tour enough :-)

Good food, good times - Deepak is the man! He took us to some hole in wall type of places I would have been nervous to try had he not assured us they were thoroughly vetted and sanitary. Really nice guy too. Definitely recommend this tour.

A must do in Thamel - 1000% suggest going on the food tour with Deepak. Not only is he genuinely warm, friendly and fun he also knows the best spots in town and gives you lots of background knowledge of the food you are eating, and Nepali history and culture! We had so much food that we regrettably couldn't finish it all, and every dish was delicious. Proper local places!
