    Client Reviews

    • Great Nepal guide service

      Ace Vision worked very hard to ensure we had a safe and wonderful visit to Nepal. Ace Vision did this while providing a reasonable price and choices to tailor our own experience. The guides and our porter were all wonderful to both of us and attended to anything we needed while in Nepal.

      Before arrival to Nepal, we contacted several services that quoted us outrageous fees and fixed schedules. Ace Vision tailored a flexible schedule and reasonable charges and we are very happy with the entire experience. We changed our schedule mid-course and everything went very smoothly. Nepal is a wonderful place to visit and Ace Vision made the stay easy and wonderful. Upon returning to Nepal I will very happily use Ace Vision again.
