Great experience! - This was a fantastic tour. We visited diverse locations and I learned a lot about the history, architecture, and rich culture of Dar and country as a whole. Bernard is wonderful - enthusiastic, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Pacing of the tour was spot-on; the scope and content were appropriate for all ranges of visitors. Bernard was very proactive in communicating beforehand, and was flexible and prompt. I had a great time and would highly recommend this to other visitors!

Absolutely amazing - Without a doubt, this was one of the most thorough and comprehensive tours I have had. My tour guide Ben was amazing. Very knowledgeable and competent. It was clear that he embraced and enjoyed the history and culture of the city and this manifested in the way he guided me through the various sites and stops. I would absolutely do this tour again and would advise any friends or family to do the same!!

Was incredible,I enjoyed the tour,fresh environment and good people so was amazing and soon will go back - Bernard is such a star! His communication skills well coupled with his knowledge of the history of Dar es Salaam was amazing. He made sure that we got to see what places used to be like pre what they currently are. Bernard is a unique style of speaking, walking and presenting. Highly informative, yet not boring and was a great time. Time went very fast would recommend anyone to who wants a hard hitting yet humours experience of Dar es Salaam/Tanzania history.

EXCELLENT - We arranged for this tour in advance of arriving. Bernard was very helpful and responsive to our inquiries to ensure we had a good experience. Directions to meeting our tour guide were perfect. Our extended family group of twelve were immediately impressed with Bernard pleasant demeanor and bi-lingual ability. The highlights of this tour included the many details of the various sites in Old Dar es salaam. He was able recount to our group that are not written or otherwise not commonly known. We now have many beautiful pictures and memories of this once in a lifetime family experience visiting the homeland of our parents. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in the sights and history of Dar es Salaam.

Best experience - Was directed to Bernard by my friend whom had previously done a Dar es Salaam tour one day and a food tour the next. This was our turn and we (4) had a private tour of Dar Es Salaam and the hidden neighboring areas. Our Guide got us up to the Sites early before the cruise ship crowds and also in and around the museum to avoid the lines. Our guide was very historically knowledged and made the tour an experience. Thanks Bernard for arranging this.

A Historical walk at the streets of Dar Es Salaam - We had a very interesting and informative Tour of Dar es Salaam with Bernard. Although we were rather tired from our long flight and 10 time zones difference; Bernard very patiently explained it all! I especially liked the National Museum, also the old town and of course tasting all the delicacies at the market halls! So thank you for the friendly and interesting experience, we like Dar es Salaam Great city with lots of things to see, including Churches, vendors cafes.. Lots to buy at fairly reasonable prices.
