Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

It's literally a walking tour. The bazaar was near to my hotel, so we just walked to and from the hotel. Too bad I booked a 2-way transfers, but the guide let me walk. But it's still ok. I enjoyed the whole tour because it is still learning the daily lives of the locals.

Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

The tour guide introduced the history of each place and temple very carefully and meticulously, and also took me to different markets and introduced what could be bought in the markets.

Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

This itinerary is a fantastic choice for first-time visitors who want to get a good feel for the city! However, your experience can really vary depending on the agency and tour guides you go with. Unfortunately, my recent experience wasn’t the best. My tour guide arrived 30 minutes late and didn’t provide much in the way of introductions or client care. It seemed like he was more focused on finding gifts for himself and his family instead. I would recommend looking for a local agency or another option for a more enjoyable experience!

Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

I asked for a pick-up, but the guide picked me up by motorcycle because I was alone, so I liked it better haha I couldn't understand it well because my English is short, but he kindly understood. He said it was really delicious.

Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

I took a few tours in kathmandu while I was there, Kumar was the only guide that actually gave me some history of Nepal and applied it to the places we visited. we wrapped up the tour a little early and Kumar helped me find some souvenirs which was a huge bonus! 11/10 would recommend.

Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

The tour has a great concept, however, the experience really depends on the guide you get. I had to wait while the guide shopped personally and ate snacks. At temples, there were no explanations; I had to ask questions myself. The guide walked ahead quickly and rarely checked on me. I later noticed that the tour info stated bottled water was included, but it wasn't provided.

Review for: Asan Tole Bazaar Walk

I am the only one joining the tour that day. The tour guide did explain the market and background briefly. However, it feels like I have to ask tons of questions to know what's going on... I expect him to be more proactive when it comes to a local tour mentioning what the market has, which is more worth noting, what the locals are buying etc...

Good to know

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the tour passes through busy markets, narrow streets, and uneven pathways.
  • Bring drinking water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, especially during warmer months.
  • Carry some Nepalese rupees in small denominations for personal purchases, souvenirs, or snacks at local markets.
  • Keep your personal belongings secure while walking through crowded bazaars.
  • Always ask permission before photographing local people, religious ceremonies, or areas inside temples.
  • Be prepared for lively streets, local vendors, traditional shops, and the everyday sights and sounds of Kathmandu.
  • Arrive at the confirmed meeting point on time to enjoy the full 1.5 to 2-hour guided walking experience-
