While planning our trip to Kathmandu, one of the highlights was the concentration of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley. With that in mind, we opted to do this tour as all fees would be included. The tour operator was great with communication, letting us know who our guide was (Shanti) and confirmed our tour the day before. Shanti met us in our hotel lobby and directed us to the car. We were delighted to see this would be a private tour as it was just my partner and myself, along with Shanti and the driver. Shanti was warm and friendly and answered all questions that we had. She described each site in detail and we got to see sites beyond the 7 UNESCO sites that were listed on the itinerary. My partner also has a hobby of collecting (and sending) UNESCO postcards and Shanti helped us locate a treasure trove of postcards. After a delicious Nepali lunch in Bhaktapur, Shanti also helped my partner locate some Nepali hats that he was looking for, and a Hindu thangka that he was looking for. She far exceeded our expectations for this tour. Not only did we get expert explanations for each site, we got wonderful shopping help as well. We felt safe with our driver as well, getting from each site. I cannot recommend this tour enough, and if you are lucky, you will have Shanti as your guide.
