The best historical and bird watching guide in Mombasa - A very informative, knowledgeable and coastal history should be his second name from old town, fort jesus, spice markets and amazing recommendations of amazing restaurants in mombasa. I would also recommend him for birdwatching tours in other different attractions in coast.

Highly recommended to see an insightful Kenya - Eric took great care of us and made a huge difference to our experience in Mombasa. He is very knowledgeable about Kenya's history, and has his informed take on current issues of Africa and the World. My family thoroughly enjoyed the conversations we had and the sights we went to. It was the kind of tour I would recommend - insightful and enjoyable, not your typical touristy walk. I most appreciated that he arranged tuktuks for us because we had an elderly and couldn't walk long distances. He also made great recommendations for lunch and dinner.

Eric Lombasho Was Terrific! - We had such fun and educational time with you Eric! Really enjoyed your guiding, explaining the complexity of Kenyan history, your flexibility and additional tuk-tuk ride to the spice market. Our last day in Mombasa could not have been better. I took so many photos of old town. Thanks Ãlêkø Ãyìêko again for the introduction 🤙🏼 We highly recommend Eric Lumbasho at Explore Quest to anyone wanting to explore Kenya 🇰🇪 Not only is he knowledgeable but also very sweet.

Very enjoyable experience! - I went on the Fort Jesus and Old town tour with Erick and he shared fascinating details about the early visitors to the coast, how coastal towns developed and the cultural blend that resulted from interactions between coastal people and visitors. What made the experience even better was Erick's friendly and helpful nature the whole time. I enjoyed every moment of the tour. If you're looking for an informative and enjoyable cultural experience, I highly recommend him!

Fort Jesus - Eric was such a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide. He made the tour of Fort Jesus very memorable and enjoyable. He also took us to see old town and buy a few souvenirs for a bargain. I would definitely recommend.

What an Amazing and unforgettable experience! - We were picked from our Hotel and driven to Mombasa city where a number of other coaches joined us and we were splitted in smaller groups, each with a guide. Our Guide Mr.Erick Lumbasho was extremely knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. Explaining everything into key details and time conscious. Special word for our driver Who managed to circumnavigate some large traffic jams to enable us get back to hotel at reasonable time.
