Kathmandu city tours typically use private vehicles such as cars, vans, or jeeps depending on group size, ensuring comfort and flexibility. For solo travellers or couples, air-conditioned cars are common, while larger groups use spacious tourist vans or minibuses. The driver and licensed city guide accompany you throughout, allowing easy access to major heritage sites like Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Transportation is included in most guided day tour packages with hotel pick-up and drop-off.
