What people are saying about Pokhara

Book a private tour at any time, even if there is an additional charge

The local partner gave the advice to convert the inexpensive bus tour into a private car tour for a relatively small surcharge. We have no regrets. The guide was very knowledgeable, nice and thoughtful. A total experience added value!

Very kind. It is a weak trip compared to the developed countries. It was a reasonable time considering rain and taxi fare. It was great to see their usual out of the car. I was considerate not to lose. Blessings to guides and articles

The trip itself was good, however, the guide spoke in another language about was going to happen next. I am English so had no idea what he was talking about!

Its ok .. Bus driver is very expert in driving . The price is worth for a whole day tour... Its tiring but worth it.

Nice driver who was very funny. You can go for this trip and enjoy without tour guide actually.
