Kathmandu Heritage Free Walking Tour with living Goddess "Kumari"

Santosh is a nice guy with some nice stories. However for me the tour was not well planned, in my opinion. A lot of explanations he told while walking in the crowded city which makes it hard to follow. Also we went to a museum to read text but I join a free walking tour to listen to stories not to read. Also we didn't went to the monkey tempel since already 3 h passed and the others in the group didn't wanted to join so I would have had to pay the taxi alone. However I got a nice overview and some informations and got to know some traditions.

I regularly take part in walking tours and have experienced many different guides. This tour was good, but has room for improvement. The places visited were good. The focus was on Durbar Place, where we spent most of our time. This was really good because the entrance fee was quite expensive. The time there was spend very well and we learned a lot. All in all, I thought the guide spoke far too quickly and didn't have a clear concept running through his story. A better structure - first history, then something about religion, then certain rituals etc. - would help a lot. He used a lot of terms (city names or names of rituals or similar) that we couldn't identify and he didn't explain. This made it very difficult to follow what he was saying. We had to ask a lot of questions to understand it better. All questions were answered, but I actually expect a story that tells everything.

friendly and informative guide!
