    Beware! This tour is misleading!

    Expected to visit two cities and we were told only one could be covered as both cities close at 6pm. We were out of the airport by 3pm. Greeting is was on time but we had to wait another 30+ mins for the vehicle to arrive. 1) If they know the cities close at 6pm, they should NOT display hourly start times available till 6pm! If anyone would have picked a 5pm or 6pm slot they would have seen nothing! 2) I had informed of our flight info, landing time and airport pick up about 6 days in advance. They had many opportunities in the chat to let me that it would not be feasible to visit 2 cities. And I could have cancelled the tour within the free cancellation period or arranged something else. But no we were only told on arrival. These are dishonest tour operators. 3) I asked them about refund options since only 1 city could be visited. Driver made his calls spoke in their language and didnt reply us. I asked what we could do? No reply. We were stuck. 4) When reaching the city, we were told we had to pay separately for a guide in the city. Completely misleading to state tour inclusions as "Driver as as a guide". Our driver told us he was not licenced and hence could not. I told him that the decent thing the company could do was to at least pay for the guide after we find out about this inconveneince. He checked. They refused. The above is just the tip of the iceberg. Was expecting them to be prefessional since they were so responsive in the viator chat. Overall a horrible way to start our visit to Kathmandu. Viator also needs to check that their operators put up the right information!

    Response from the operator: Dear Jean L, We have pickup you from airport (which was not inclusive in your tour package, but we accept your request), after that we take you to the tour. (Suddenly Chinese vvip visits the city and they block the road for security reason and was lack of time to take you both places, which was not pre planned neither informed by any official and government even to us, they just imposed road block on that day. Finally you asked us to refund, we accepted your appeal of refund and did refund too. We have clearly mentioned that entrance fees to the cities was excluded. The city has own rules for all visitors to pay entrance fee that comes with guide ultimately. You need to write us about your complaints, you cannot simply ask the staff and made your own decisions. We being always responsive to you, but you suddenly appear after days to complain for no reason by writing negative reviews. You are tourist, we must respect you. But you can’t be so selfish to judge entire unforeseen scenario from your own point of view only. Yes. This Tour we can complete in 3 hours as mentioned in the tour details and was sufficient time for you to do, but it wasn’t happened due to as explained earlier. Since you mentioned that, we were so much responsible in Viber, you may have access to us to explain the scenario, but you have choosen different way (just wiring negative review). Writing negative review may satisfy you from Your immediate response but it cannot recover our losses. So, we advise you to be a real tourist, don’t simply judge a book from it’s cover. Looking forward to welcome you again in Nepal 🇳🇵 Best regards

    Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities?

    +

    Included: Driver as a guide; Entire round trip transfer by private vehicle; Hotel pickup and drop off; and Private trip. Not included: Entrance fees and personal expenses; and Gratitude (Optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is Visit Bhaktapur and Patan Heritage Cities wheelchair or stroller accessible?
