Excellent guide. Excellent tour - We took this tour with Christine, who was amazing guide! She gave a larger selection of places to visit and asked me what we wanted to see more in the city after perfect brief of the Arusha city. And we say all. She was happy to accommodate and went to numerous places. So much walking! She answered all our questions about the history as well as current going on in the areas we visited. She's very knowledgeable. We could not ask for a better guide. We highly recommend her!

Great experience and more than our expectations - Israel was an amazing guide who made our Arusha experience unforgettable! He was not only knowledgeable and cultured, but also brought a depth of insight and first-hand experience to our tour. His punctuality was on point as we learned from the local Tanzanian for being late for some minutes but Israel is so far and best of the best. Israel was flexible and attentive to our plans and needs. He gave us all the time we needed at each stop, allowing us to fully absorb the history, culture and beauty of each location. He went above and beyond to share additional context and stories that brought each site to life. Beyond Israel's expertise, he was also personable. He was an awesome conversationalist; he had a genuine interest in our lives and perspectives. This made the tour feel more like a shared journey of discovery with a friend than a traditional guided tour. If you are looking for a guide in Arusha, look no further than Israel. You will feel home and he is a true meaning of friend.

Best Guide to discover Arusha - Israel did a perfect job, he showed us all spots that need to be seen and explained everything well profoundly with a huge background knowledge. No rushing, flexible schedule. We preferred to stay little longer at the central market, that was no problem. Englisch is perfect and he answered all our questions.

Israel‘s private city tour - Israel showed up on time and his kindness right from the beginning, made this tour a very special one. The tour was informative and time was running by. He knows the hidden places and streets and was flexible enough to adopt the tour to our needs. His fluent English was always of great help. I recommend this tour and this guide. Very well done!

Highly recommend this tour experience - A must do when visiting Arusha (Northern Tanzania), We had a beautiful day with our knowledgeable guide. The tour was one of our highlights of our 2 weeks in Tanzania tour, Our guide Israel was animated, informative and charming. He and his great team cleared crowds so we could have great pictures and really gave us first class service. Israel he asked us if we have more time on the day for aim of spend longer with him in the tour and we surprised because we didn't expect that longer and always is interesting especially to hear from him about the facts if Tanzania culture and traditions of some tribes found in the country, politics, religions, history, lifestyle and all about the real Tanzania life. Israel is sweetest ever, and we all felt so safe the whole time! DO THIS TOUR AND YOU WONT REGRET IT!!
