Phenomenal walking tour - I absolutely loved the tour with Fridaus. She is very knowledgeable about the rich history in Uganda. She took her time with us and made sure we were ready to move on to the next topic or location. I 100% recommend taking this tour.

Wonderful Intro to Kampala - The walking tour of Kampala was fantastic. Fridaus was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and I could not have asked for a better guide! I got to see parts of Kampala that I would not have felt confident visiting alone, and learned facts about the history and daily life in this busy city! So glad I went on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone else visiting Kampala.

Outstanding guided tour of Kampla - Fridaus was an absolutely fantastic host. She showed us so much of Kampala in a short time. Very knowledgeable with details and dates around the mosque and monuments and ensured we got a good deal on things we purchased in the markets. The tour of the markets was really a highlight. Such colour, chaos, and charm! I would absolutely recommend a tour with her.

UNFORGATABLE KAMPALA EXPERIENCE WITH A KNOWLEDGEABLE FEMALE GUIDE - I recently had the most amazing walking tour of Kampala with fridaus. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Her in-depth knowledge of Kampala's history and culture and hidden gems was truly impressive. From exploring Owino market and historical landmarks, every moment was captivating. This female guided tour offered a unique perspective on the city that I wouldn't have experienced otherwise.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Kampala adventure.

Must do walking tour with Fridaus in April 2024 - This was a great experience for me. I had a lovely guide, her name was Fridaus, she was knowledgeable, kind and made me feel safe in what is a very busy city! It was just me on the tour which was really great as we got to talk. She went over and above to help make the experience great for me. It was good to walk through all the markets, obviously there are lots of different sights and smells! Kampala is not an easy or prosperous city. I enjoyed the arts & crafts market and bought a lovely bark print there which I now have framed and hanging at home. It was hot but they provide water. It was fun to end my time with a ride on a boda boda back to my hotel. I felt safe as Fridaus spoke to the driver and set me off on my way. I had wanted to experience more of Kampala beyond my fancy hotel and this walking tour gave me that. Highly recommend it. Especially to support female guides.
