About Amazing Kathmandu Tours: Authentic Luxury and Trusted Travel Experiences in Nepal

At Amazing Kathmandu Tours, we are a luxury tour operator in Nepal, dedicated to crafting private and small-group journeys for travelers and travel agents who value authenticity, reliability, and a proven reputation for excellence. We don’t just show you Nepal; we invite you to experience it fully, guided by licensed professionals who combine knowledge, care, and personalized attention.

Our Story: A Heritage of Excellence and Trust

Our foundation is built on a proven model of success and reliability. Founded by Menno de Vries, a Dutch national with over 30 years of international hospitality experience, our team brings decades of expertise to every journey. Menno previously founded a sister company in 2016 that quickly became a benchmark for excellence in cultural touring, earning global recognition and TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice awards since 2019.

This track record demonstrates our commitment to quality, trust and exceptional guest experiences. It is this same DNA, a guide-centric approach, high standards, and professional integrity, that we bring to every tour in Nepal.

At Amazing Kathmandu Tours, we believe the soul of any great journey lies in the connection between the guest, the guide, and the destination. That is why we are fundamentally different from typical tour companies.

Our Team: Guides Are Our Greatest Asset

Unlike companies where office staff handle bookings and itineraries without firsthand experience, every member of Amazing Kathmandu Tours is a licensed professional guide. Our guides are at the heart of our service, bringing history, culture, and daily life to life with warmth and authority.

Santosh holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Travel and Tourism Management, complemented by a second Master’s in Nepalese History, Culture, and Archaeology. As a licensed heritage, nature, and trekking guide with over a decade of experience leading teams, Santosh not only manages operations but is on the ground guiding, training, and ensuring every itinerary meets our high standards for professionalism and guest satisfaction.
