Amazing street food tour! - Amazing experience of street food tasting in Old Town Mombasa! Hawa was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the history of Mombasa and the culture of the area, the architecture and the foods. Very worth it!!

Authentic food tour with warm accompaniment and special insights - We have experienced many food tours around the world, but this one is definitely one of the best! The booking went straight through the website, and shortly afterwards we were contacted via SMS/WhatsApp to find a meeting point that was best for us. The next day we met with our guide Hawa at 12:30 pm, and already in the first meters with the TukTuk to the first stop we felt we were in good hands. Hawa immediately inspired us with her open, friendly and eloquent manner and guided us through the culinary and cultural diversity of the city full of passion and knowledge. At the first stop she asked us if it was okay for us if a young colleague who is still in training accompanied us. This additional accompaniment has enriched the experience in a pleasant way. In addition to fantastic insights into the cuisine of the region, there were many stories and details about the city and its culture. Eventually it felt less like a tour and more like a relaxing day with friends. We deliberately keep the individual stops and the delicious food to ourselves to keep the surprise for the next visitors. We were particularly pleased that we were able to try something new at some street stalls flexibly, which probably wasn’t originally planned on the tour. My wife and I can recommend this tour to anyone who is open to new things and wants to get to know the city in an authentic way. Overall, 4.5-5h were on the way.

A Taste of Mombasa - This half-day food tour was an absolute culinary adventure! Our guide, Havah was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local cuisine. From the aromatic spices in the bustling markets to the mouthwatering street food, we experienced the best of Mombasa's flavors. The highlight was definitely the seafood feast at the local restaurant. Highly recommended for anyone looking to delve deeper into the heart of Mombasa's culture and cuisine.

Great Food Tour. Lots of Tasty Treats! - Absolutely loved this tour. Not only was it a food tour but an exploration also of the city sites and their background and history. I met my guide, Marwa at Fort Jesus where she covered the background and history of this very important UNESCO site. From there, we walked the streets of Old Town, stopping first at an open coffee place along the waters looking onto the Indian Ocean. Here we mingled with the locals, indulging in some African coffee infused with ginger and cinnamon, enjoying the open views and fresh breeze of the ocean. Our walk took us past the first police station, the first hotel, the old spice port, an ancient mosque dating back to the 16th century, and many other interesting sites. In a small alleyway we had our next food tasting. Bajias or falafels and deep fried potatoes with chilli sauce, cooked over an open wooden fire. This was so tasty and perhaps my favourite of the food tour. Despite knowing there would be plenty more food along the tour, I really did indulge myself in this first food tasting. A tuk tuk ride took us to the spice markets and then Makadara Rd, in Old Town. A popular street with many cafes and restaurants and street food stalls. Here I indulged myself in some wonderful sugar cane juice freshly squeezed by the vendor and laced with a touch of mint, chilli and lemon. Across the street we entered a little hut and had some chicken shawarma filled with various gorgeous sauces, and a small walk further there was some barbecued makashki waiting for us to sample, very moist and infused with a lovely smoky aroma. Makadara Rd is certainly one of the best areas to try local African cuisine. The popular Barka restaurant and Amorino Cafe and Restaurant also reside along this street. My guide, Marwa, really did make this a memorable food tour. Her knowledge of the city and it's sites, the culture and their history, and the local people whom all knew her well, made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Overall, a great tour and one that I can highly recommend and should be on everyone's itinerary.
