GREAT RICKSHAW TOUR WITH SHREENA - Shreena was amazing as our guide for the rickshaw tour! We had multiple stops at temples and so much information shared. It really helped me to understand so much more of the Nepalese culture.

Incredible way to see the city, highly recommend. - Shree was an amazing guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions, as well as having great stories to tell. The tour took us all over and I drank tea like a local, which was an amazing experience! Kathmandu is incredible at night. The driver was a pro and the ride was very comfortable, a great view of the streets from the Rickshaw. Thank you again so much Shree for a wonderful evening experience!

Kritipur village - Shree has taken me on a tour called discover kritipur. Its a town outside Kathmandu that really has its own sense of pride and tradition The many temples were built in 17th century. Mostly of wood. Still standing strong. Built on hillside, so clean and quite. Shree once again filled me with information and stories. He has much knowledge. Calm and well-spoken. We ate a very fresh lunch in a family home . Lovely day.

Great tour even in heavy rain! - Had a great tour despite the weather! Binisha was a great guide very informative and dealt with the weather so well! I think doing the rickshaw tour in the rain was probably the only way to have a done a tour last night and I’m so glad I did it!
