Kathmandu Monkey Temple and Pashupathinath Great experience- v knowledgeable guide who explained very well what I was looking at!

Hire Sandip! Great guide Fun and informative This was a fabulous experience walking our way to the temple. Sandip provided great information enjoyable and knowledgeable !

Outstanding view- monkeys are sweet and nurturing. Loved all the Monkeys, the temples, the prayer flags. Vendors were friendly and helped us to make a good purchase. The view from the vista was outstanding!!

Not only visit. You learn a lot about Nepals Story! Wow, I was lucky to have Santosh as a tour guide. He has deep knowledge of spirituality and religions, and I learned so much from him. You could really feel his passion while telling the stories. Definitely a guide I highly recommend!

A Memorable Visit to Kathmandu I recently had the opportunity to visit Nepal, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. During my time in Kathmandu, I stayed at Dusit Thani Kathmandu and The Soaltee Kathmandu. Both hotels provided excellent comfort, attentive service, and a welcoming environment throughout my stay. I would also like to acknowledge our guide, Sriya, whose professionalism and knowledge greatly enhanced the overall experience. She was approachable, well-informed, and ensured that everything was managed smoothly, allowing us to fully appreciate our visit. Overall, the trip was very well organized and left a lasting positive impression. I would highly recommend Nepal to anyone seeking a destination rich in culture, hospitality, and memorable experiences.

Guided Kathmandu - with a smile! Our two trips with Shreya were fabulous. She’s super knowledgeable, engaging and welcoming so it feels like you’ve bumped into an old friend who’s happy to show you around their home town. The way she explained the connection between Hindu and Buddhist culture will stay with us forever. Highly recommended - Danyabahl Shreya 🙏

An informative and thorough city tour I had a lovely tour around Kathmandu with some great insights into the culture, the architecture and the history of the city.

Amazing Kathmandu city tour with Shreya Just finished an Outstanding city tour, of Kathmandu with My super knowledgable local guide Shreya. I learnt so much today, about nepalese culture and religion and the history of Kathmandu. Shreya had a great sense of humour and was warm and very patient and so professional at her guiding me around Kathmandu. The huge buddha Stupa was the highlight and learning about it from Shreya , was amazing . I highly recommend this tour , when visiting Nepal Thank you so Shreya Wayne

Best tour guide in Kathmandu The tour was amazing and our super friendly tour guide explained us everything in detail. Also the car in we have been brought to the different places had been high quality and roomy.

In-depth tour at Swayambhunath temple Santosh is a great storyteller. He is patient and answered our questions thoroughly. We wouldn't hesitate joining another tour with him!

Once in a lifetime Wonderful tour from very beginning to the very end. Informative, looking at places out of the usual route, pleasantly pace. Highly recommend.

Amazing tour in Kathmandu I did a free walking tour in Kathmandu with Santosh and really enjoyed it. He’s a knowledgeable and friendly guide who explains the city’s history in a clear and engaging way. The visit to Kathmandu Durbar Square was especially interesting, with great stories and context that you wouldn’t get on your own. Highly recommended—definitely worth it!

What a wonderful day! Sandip made the tour of the Monkey Temple truly memorable. His knowledge of culture, art, religion and history was combined with a terrific sense of humor. I had a fabulous time!

Very worthwhile tour Santosh was very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. You will finish the tour with a much better understanding of Kathmandu and the culture.

Great City Tour Great city tour with Shreya, who was very knowledgeable and made the whole tour seamless! Thanks for a great day in Kathmandu

Friendly and informative tour. Shreya took us on a city tour of Kathmandu. She was very knowledgeable and kind. She took her time to show us the sights and to teach us about the history and culture. She was easy to talk too and easy to understand. Would definitely recommend Shreya to anyone wanting to learn more about Nepal’s history and culture.

Great tour! Santosh was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area, with lots of fun facts about the history! It was a great tour.

Wonderful Tour! While in Nepal my boyfriend and I did the Kathmandu Durbar Square Tour with Amazing Kathmandu Tours. Our tour guide was Santosh and he was fantastic! We walked from Thamel to Kathmandu Durbar Square first stopping at Seto Machindranath Temple. We then walked through several interesting areas, learning about the history of Nepal and the various religions and cultures, eventually arriving at Kathmandu Dubar Square. Santosh gave us a tour of the Hanuman Dhoka (Old Royal Palace), and the Kumari Ghar in hopes of seeing the Kumari herself (she did not show herself that day). We also walked past Freak Street, saw Kaal Bhairab, and walked around the Handicraft market. On the way back, we stopped at the Naradevi Temple and the Vaisha Dev Shrine, also known as the toothache tree, where people nail rupees to the tree in hopes of curing their tooth pain. We were looking for a tour with a small group (we lucked out and it was only the two of us), where we could learn a lot about the area and the history and culture of Nepal. This tour was perfect, long enough to learn a lot, but short enough to so some other adventures that day. As I hoped, Santosh taught us a lot about things we would have never learned. I especially liked learning about the fish in Asan, the tradition of hanging up images of snakes, and the religious imagery. I highly recommend taking a tour with Amazing Kathmandu Tours while in Kathmandu!

Excellent tour! Very good tour guide with excellent knowledge! Was able to tell me loads of information and make the 3 hour tour really enjoyable!

Half Day tour in Kathmandu I had a wonderful experience touring Kathmandu with Frannkey, who guided me for around six hours across three remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple. Despite the limited time, he planned the itinerary thoughtfully, ensuring that I could fully appreciate each location without feeling rushed. Besides, I love his clear and simple explanations of the history and cultural significance of each place. He made complex stories easy to understand, which greatly enhanced my appreciation of the sites. Overall, I highly recommend Frannkey to anyone looking for a well-organized and insightful tour in Kathmandu.

Essence of Nepal We all enjoyed very much Nimisha taking us around and explaining about Kathmandu culture, as well as the current social and political situation. Very kind and took care of all of us. 100% recommend!!!

amazing evening in Thamel I had really lovely evening with 2 amazing guides Anita and Nimisha. I was offered a welcome drink & momo in the nice restaurant on Tnamel & then we visited 2 other bars. We talked & laughed a lot & I had great time & learned a lot about Nepali culture & life in Kathmandu.

Incredible, insightful, engaging, and fun! I took a very well-curated and in-depth tour of Patan Square with Frankie, whose knowledge of the area and enthusiasm for sharing it were top-notch. He led a fairly diverse group, making sure that he accounted for each tour-member's individual interests. Also, it was marvelous to discuss Nepal's economics and foreign relations with someone who loves and understands history! 10/10 would do again.

A Wonderful Private Tour Full of Insight and Storytelling Besides of course the beautiful sites. I really appreciated the detailed explanations about the culture it added so much context to everything we saw. At the beggining we skipped the tourist crowds and explored local neighborhoods, which made the experience feel much more authentic. It wasn’t just random facts and dates , Santosh was a great storyteller. Highly recommended!

Wonderful social aperitif È stata una bella sorpresa l’aver trovato questo evento. Si tratta di un aperitivo per donne organizzato da Anita, una giovane donna nepalese che lavora come guida e conosce molto bene il quartiere di Thamel. L’aperitivo prevede più tappe nei locali iconici del quartiere in modo tale da avere la possibilità di girare la sera per Thamel ed apprezzarne i colori, gli odori e la vivacità. Anita è molto cordiale e socievole e, da guida di trekking e da conoscitrice della città, è sempre pronta a rispondere alle curiosità delle turiste.

Fantastic tour in Kathmandu A very thorough, informative and friendly tour of Kathmandu's Swayambhu Mahachaitya (monkey temple). Santosh is very knowledgable and focuses the tour on areas that interest you. My tour ended up being 4 hours long as we disussed the sites at such length and Santosh had so many interesting stories to tell! As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe throughout the tour, and was even offered to be walked back to the starting point or supported in finding a taxi as we finished in the dark. I would definitely recommend this as a must for those visiting Kathmandu, especially if you have limited time.

An Outstanding Guide with Heart and Deep Knowledge We spent five wonderful hours with our guide Santosh yesterday. With his great knowledge and his open, warm-hearted personality, he guided us throughout the day. Santosh knows many fascinating stories about Hinduism and Buddhism and explains landmarks and religious rituals in a clear and engaging way. You can truly feel that he loves his job as a guide, and this shows in the high quality of his work. We would book a tour with him again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend Santosh as a guide.

Amazing guide with abundant knowledgs; could not recommend him enough Perfect tour! Such a knowlegdable guide. Would really recommend doing this on your first day, so to get a proper introduction in nepali culture and religion. Helps a lot with seeinig sights afterwards! By the way would also have booked this trip on our last day, because he knows so much, it's truely an enrichment of your stay! 🙂 And btw: He can point out evers detail on a stoopa which is very fun for everything you visit!

Highly recommended! Santosh is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the history and the intricate architecture of the temples in Patan. If you are looking for a professional guide for the Kathmandu Valley, Santosh is highly recommended!

Highly recommended!! Santosh is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many details about the history and spirituality of each site. I especially appreciated how patient he was with all my questions and how flexible he was in adjusting the pace to my interests. I felt very safe and well-informed. Highly recommended if you are traveling solo!
