Truly delightful experience - Our guide Ananta was truly delightful. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He answered all of our questions and shared interesting historical facts and stories including information about Nepal at large, not just the sites that we were visiting. He rearranged the order of the tour to accommodate traffic around our hotel and also offered to take us shopping for wedding shoes. He negotiated for us and allowed us to take our time, which extended well beyond the scheduled tour time. We would highly recommend Ananta as a tour guide!

Ananta rocks! - Our guide Ananta was superbly knowledgeable about each site we went to and gave a lot of details the whole day about Nepal as a whole as well. We felt very safe and well taken care of all day. Ananta is also an amazing person and we were really grateful to meet him and hear about his life.

GREAT tour, well worth it!!! - This tour was well worth it! Our guide Ananta was amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing so many stories and insights at every location. We learned so much and the tour helped us understand the culture and rituals at each site in so much more depth than we would have just visiting on our own. Having the driver was super helpful and Ananta helped us navigate walking through the busy streets. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Boudhanath Stupa. We needed to shop for wedding shoes after the tour and Ananta took us shopping in a nearby place. He really went above and beyond to make our day special and memorable. He also made sure to take tons of pictures of us throughout the tour. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour and ask for Ananta as your guide!!

Awesome experience. - Great!
This trip is both intellectual and entertaining. We visited several Hindu and Buddhist temples and witnessed a Hindu funeral. Lunch is served next to Fata, the food is delicious and the view is spectacular. I would recommend everyone I know to join this trip.

World Heritage Tour - Kabita was SO knowledgeable of the Neplalese history, it was fascinating to listen her recite all she knew about her home and the ancient history she possessed. She was caring, considerate and always made the day about me and what I wanted. She was very accommodating. The driver was lovely and had a very clean car. I couldn’t recommend Kabita enough! 5 stars

Great guide - really nice guy - Pankaj was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. The traffic was bad with the holiday, but the driver did a very good job, as well. I would highly recommend Pankay for your touring in Kathmandu . Thanks so much!

Kathmandu Cultural Tour (more or less 6/7 hours))) - I did this tour with Ananta as a guide. He is very aknowledgable, whether in Nepali history or the spirituality/religions. I asked a lot of questions and he always took time to answer it very kindly. And most important, as a solo woman traveller, I felt very safe with him. He is very passionate and joyful guy. I really enjoy this tour with him

The best experience with the best people - I have been to 75 countries and this tour was perhaps the best I have ever been on. Ananta my guide and Gopal my driver were just phenomenal. They really, really took care of me. I had gotten sick on one of the days of the tour and they went out of their way to make sure I felt better.
Ananta is perhaps the best tour guide ever! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nepal, Buddhaism and Hinduism. He also took great care to make sure that I was okay during every stage of the tour. He knew the best places and took me to a healing center that made me feel so much better. There are a lot of tours that try to sell you stuff but this was not one of them.
I can't say enough how great this tour was and how great the company was. I will recommend this company 1000% and give them a 20/10.
