Cannot experience Arusha properly without this tour - If you're on the fence about doing this tour, I would highly recommend you go for it. We did some sightseeing in Arusha without a guide & it was not even close to comparing to this. Having someone local to explain everything and answer all our questions was invaluable. Israel was out guide for this fantastic tour and he was amazing guide and very knowledgeable, personable, funny and he knows so much about Tanzania and Arusha. We went to lots of different places, but a particular highlights was going through the local foods market that is not even easy without local, abd we saw the best sunset in the city, to ride the public transport is the extra miles experience. A really sobering experience, getting insight into how so many people live everyday. We also had some delicious local foods on the tour (but is out of the budget and not so expensive because Israel recommend the local restaurants) Highly recommend both the company and particularly Israel.

Nice markets and interesting insights - Our guide Israel was very professional and knew a lot about Arusha and the people living there. We liked especially the different markets and learning more about the culture of the inhabitants.

IF YOU WANT A GREAT CITY TOUR GUIDE IN ARUSHA, AL FOR ISRAEL. - We had a city tour of Arusha with the tour guide Israel. We are happy we had him. He was very knowledgeable about Tanzania in general and Arusha in particular. He was also quiet polite and respectful. The tour was scheduled to be just 4 hours and went to more than 6. His objective is to make sure you learn and enjoy the tour at the same time. He obtained his objective.

Arusha tour - What an amazing organised experience Christine gave of Arusha. Christine shared great knowledge and expertise in the history of the different areas but also would have conversations which fantastic in it not just being a job or a script and made it more of a personal experience. Christine is great with communication and made the arrangements and get back to you quickly. Excellent tour company and would recommend.

Authentic one day tour of Arusha - I had a fantastic day with my guide Israel walking around the streets of Arusha. We visited the National Natural History Museum and the Tanzanite Experience, followed by several markets to see how people sell their art, fruits, vegetables and lots more. Everything was so interesting and authentic. I was able to see and learn a lot throughout the day, laughed a lot with the very friendly guide and feel like I got the real local experience. Very much recommended!

Must-do in Arusha - I really enjoyed my city tour with Isreal. Even though I‘ve already seen almost everything of Arusha before, I learned a lot of new and interesting things. I would definitely recommend taking this tour for really getting to know Arusha. Isreal took a lot of time explaining everything and you could really feel his dedication to history and nature during the tour.

First in Arusha perfect experience thanks to this tour - Christine was our tour guide for this activity and she really helped us. It was our first day in Tanzania and Arusha, we realized thanks to her that the planning we had made wasn't possible because we took the tour on 8 of August and it's a national holiday in Tanzania so some places closed on that day but she helped us to reorganize our plans. Also she recommended us good places for dinner and drink tea. I totally recommend this agency and if you get the chance to do it with Christine you will be very lucky.

His deed knowledge and engaging storytelling made the tour both fun and informative. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Arusha, it's a must do experience.

Must have - The activity was great. Israel is a very good Guide who showed us around the city giving us a lot of information about the culture, politics, religion of the country. He is very nice and took us to places where you will not see tourists! We toured the city to see the main monuments and visited the National Natural Museum, the Maasai Point of Sale, the Samunge Point of Sale, the Arusha Central Point of Sale, a jewelry store specializing in Tanzanian gemstone and ended with the Cultural Heritage Center. An additional $6 admission fee will be charged to the National Museum. The day started at 9am and ended at 6pm. we recommend 100%!
