My second walking tour with Prabin and no less good than the first. As I said in my Bhaktapur review, he is knowledgeable and has great English. A great guide. Thanks Prabin!

As a master’s student studying Nepal culture, Prabin is extremely knowledgeable. He knows how to convey history and culture in as simplistic terms as you need or can delve as deep as you like. He’s very patient and was more than willing to answer any questions we had. We stayed in Kathmandu Square for most of the tour which was fine with me since there was so much to learn. I’m sure Pravin would follow the lead of the group he was touring. His English is very good and conversation flowed freely. I’d recommend Prabin’s guide services any time!
