Book this one, and don't look further - I booked this tour and there's no more tourist for joining on the day, I was only myself and I was so happy for the great tour that I get from my guide who take me around in the city of Arusha. My guide was perfect combination of culture, history information, facts, traditional of Tanzanian, and good humor. We booked with them next day for the tour in Kilimanjaro for the activity of waterfall visit and coffee tour and all is fantastic. Interesting and entertaining from the first to the last minute

Great tour with brilliant Guide - Our guide Davies was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His explanation it helped us a lot to understand the history of Arusha and Tanzania and related topics. The guide was gave advise what other sights are worth visiting in Arusha and Tanzania. I would recommend to book this tour if you're want to see the city of Arusha with the people and to try some of the local staffs like foods and visit the local street, that you can be able to do with local guides and this site is more safety.

An unforgettable experience: explore Tanzania with the amazing Israel! 6 stars!! - I met Israel on my first day in Arusha, and I had an incredible experience. He picked me up in a local tuk-tuk for a city tour, where he guided me and a few other travelers around, taking us to a restaurant to enjoy delicious local food (and even eat with our hands!). Israel tells interesting stories and has a wonderful sense of humor. What was meant to be a 5-hour tour ended up lasting over 9 hours! He stayed with me at the last art gallery, long after his official hours, ensuring I made it back to my hotel safely. I kept in touch with him throughout my entire stay in Tanzania. He helped me book a safari, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my life. I also had the chance to visit the Hadzabe tribe with him, and it was a remarkable experience. He is incredibly patient and kind, truly a joy to be around. I've never met someone as genuinely kind and thoughtful as Israel. He is caring, funny, and truly one of the most authentic people I've encountered in my life. I really wish we lived closer! You will not regret spending your time with him—I highly recommend booking trips with Songbirds Safari and letting Israel show you around!

Recommended tour!

Great Guide (Israel). Great Experience In Arusha Town - What an amazing and learning experience my family had on our tour to the City of Arusha. It was only made better by our guide for the day, Israel. He was very knowledgeable and very good at giving so many details about every section we visited in the city. He spoke to us and not us like I have experienced before. Israel make feel us comfortable. It was very busy some places in the city like in the local food market and he was patient and so kind. We had family member who was unable to walk all the sections with the group but Israel make sure her fell a part of the group and explained in detail where to wait and meet us throughout the tour.. Israel gets ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of ten in our book. Thanks so much Israel for incredible day with you

Great informative tour - Had a great tour of Arusha with Davies. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of both Arusha, Tanzania and Zanzibar generally and easy to hear and understand. He was also sympathetic to the needs of the group. All of the key sights and buildings were covered. Very professional and well recommend.

Arusha City Tour With Great Guide - We visited the city of Arusha in different areas with our guide Christine. Christine's knowledge and enthusiasm for all things art, she know well about culture, history, traditional, even more currently life of Tanzanian. Her English was immaculate and she had a great sense of humor. The local food market were busy and crowded but she managed to pick out the most important aspects abd we enjoyed his busy in a local places. There's is far to much to see and take in on you're own, although I'm sure she could have easily shown us more and doubled the length of the tour. The group was mixed and even our 17 years old was kept interested for 4 hrs. Thank you Christine, I didn't think a trip to Arusha would have been any where near as enjoyable without you.

Excellent Walking Tour - includes drive - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever done. Isreal was well-versed on history, culture, wildlife, and any question I had he was he was able to answer. Initially, I thought we were going to be walking for over four hours, but in fact, he had a car and we toured the art gallery and the museum. I saw everything I needed to see in the city of Arusha. I would highly recommend this tour. It is excellent value and very memorable. Thank you!
