Nepal Tours

I visited, having to arrange visas and travel permits would have been extremely difficult to setup by myself.This is an excellent example of using a conpany like this tour company to schedule a full itinerary with guides, hotels, and tours to make sure you get the most out of your vacation time.

to this travel company for making it happen.  All of their guides, drivers, and staff were exceptionally professional.  The guides were very knowledgeable of the places I was touring.  As a solo female traveler, I greatly appreciated the travel company's attention to my safety by providing 24 hour emergency contacts and trusted representatives in each place I visited to ensure that I had someone to contact should there be any problems. Domestic flights and itinerary were taken cared of by the travel company, and this convenience offered by the travel company is invaluable to busy professionals like myself.  Thank you for a memorable trip!     

us with excellent guides and lodging. They did a good job tailoring our itinerary to our wants and needs.

I with one of the most exotic and enjoyable travel experiences of our life. India, Nepal and the Maldives was simply fantastic. Our planner, avoided for us two situations that could have made things really interesting. First, he made sure we had no airline tix on a local airways which went bankrupt just before we arrived and was able to cancel and arrange an alternative travel experience after the terrorist attack in Sri Lanka. We still wanted to go to Sri Lanka, but US gov't made it impossible to achieve.At every turn in our 53 day journey, our trip planner and his staff was there to make sure all accommodations, guides, drivers and events went as smoothly as could be possible. Nothing but the highest regards for this agency and its people.

our guides and drivers were wonderful. We loved the app the travel company gave us that had all our trip details and lots of helpful and useful information. That was super useful and we could share it with our daughter as she tracked us from home. The accommodations were really nice. We only had one issue. The hotel in Shegar, Tibet - we realize that as we traveled further away from Lhasa in Tibet, the choices in hotels is very limited. But the room was freezing cold all night and the drains didn't work well, which normally isn't an issue, except the shower didn't have a separate stall, so the water just went all over the bathroom. Combine that with a floor drain that was extremely slow....we had a puddle in the bathroom for the night. Still not a big issue until you add in the freezing temps... Other than those two nights, the trip was wonderful! 

professional.

This travel company did an amazing job making sure that we had a fantastic experience.  Everything was incredibly smooth and organized about our trip.  Our guides in each city were knowledge, and  did a great job showing us all the highlights in the cities.  Our driver we had in India throughout the entire trip was amazing.  Our guide and driver in Nepal were also truly fantastic and very knowledge about the area.  Unlike other people we met along the way we never had to worry missing another excursion because we were running late.  At all times the company was in communication with our guide, driver, and our excursions we were on, such as the hot air balloon ride.  We never felt rushed or that we did not have time to do something.  They also made sure we had plenty of time for rest in the evening so even though it was a longer vacation we did not feel exhausted at the end.  We had a wonderful time. 

me with three travel agents specializing in India. This travel team stood out immediately as they responded really quickly and the communication was always made with care and excellent customer service. This team is a company that listen to your needs and tailor make a trip with unique and memorable experiences. They provide you with first class support all the way from planning through execution. You're in great hands with them. 

changes in travel. A rep would also call us daily to check up on us. The company was reliable and helpful.

had numerous conversations with this travel company regarding what I wanted on this trip. I repeatedly expressed my desire for authentic experiences. For cultural immersion. Many or our experiences were strictly non authentic for tourists only.  An example . On day one we were taken to a high end restaurant where the only customers were pale white tourists. The meal was pre ordered without asking what we might like to eat. The food wasn't spicy as I expected .I told guide that I liked spicy Indian food . The guide told me " even Indian people do not like spicy food" . Really? Another example. Holi festival . A large group of tourists only were taken to someones backyard where we threw colored powder on each other and danced to Zumba music . Cruise ship version of Holi that is occasionally replicated where I live too,I was given a separate holi experience after multiple extremely heated conversations with company. I was in India to experience India. It was great. But why did I have to go thru all that ? Also, company personal were often at odds over what our daily plan were to be. We visited several cities. At each airport we would be picked up by a company representative who would go over our daily itenerary that was often at odds with our planned itinerary . Changes which had never been discussed with me prior. After insistence from me and some heated conversation we would usually get it straight.  Tour company always shifted blame for problems and never ever took responsibility for multiple problems. 

was very accommodating, flexible, and willing to assist us with all of our questions. We were on a tight timeline, and they were able to give us multiple options to get back sooner from our trip as we had limited time off. The travel company was able to connect us with a local luxury guide company for our travels, and we we had a local guide who grew up in Nepal. He was professional, always on time, and knowledgable about the area. While we were not trekking, the travel company had local guide agents in Kathmandu, Nepal to greet us or get us to each destination, which was appreciated. Again, all guides/drivers were timely, professional, and willing to accommodate whatever we needed! 

It is an amazing country and visitors are most welcome. Our tour company exceeded our expectations for ground logistics, touring itinerary offerings and the quality of lodgings selected. We were extremely impressed by the well-organized airport assistance, ground transportation and the 24/7 availability of a team to make multiple helpful changes along the way -- truly Bespoke!  We chose this travel company over firm’s located in the US for their on the ground abilities and we are glad we did. They are part of a 500-person travel company in India.  Each day’s offerings of sights and activities was excellent and demonstrated that this travel company listened carefully to our personal interests.. One area of uneven quality for the company was the city guides. The guides in Jaipur and Agra were excellent, the guides in Varanasi and Kathmandu were punctual and informed but language skills were more limited and we had an ill guide for a day in Delhi. (We were disappointed that the company didn’t offer some type of reimbursement or additional amenity to acknowledge the problem.)  We should mention that this travel company’s proposal estimate was roughly 15% below rough estimates we received from other companies and, other than the Delhi guide issue, delivered everything promised. We would use them again.
