This is the one “must do” day trip while vacationing in Kathmandu, and Rabina and her driver are a large part of this recommendation. No other tour combines all the major sites in a day. Rabina was on time, professional, and such a pleasant and knowledgeable guide making sure if I needed more time at a site or less time at another. Her restaurant selection was delicious and authentic. Her driver arrived in a clean and comfortable car and ably navigated the streets and traffic which is no small feat for Kathmandu. Highly highly recommend this tour with Rabina!
