Exciting visit with Omar - Discovery with Omar of wood craft workshops + parts of the old town + exterior of Fort Jesus + spice market. This very friendly guide particularly interested us, what is more in impeccable French. As his explanations and anecdotes were fascinating, the time spent together seemed too short. In short: it was TOP! .

Tour of the Old Town of Monbasa - Visit the old town of Mombasa, the Hindu temple, accompanied by our guide Omar Juma who spoke very good French and who gave us a ton of information!!! He seems passionate about the history of his country and listens to his customers!!! I recommend it! Mombasa is worth seeing, accompanied by a local, it’s better! We wouldn’t have ventured into some streets if we hadn’t been accompanied by a local guide!

A wonderful experience with a very experienced guide - Omar was a delightful guide.So happy to share his knowledge of the history of the fort and old town and Kenya in general. Humble and engaging and patient. Wonderful English and gentle manner.He was very tuned into our needs - shade, drinks, and also took us to the old market which was not part of the official tour but a real plus.

Beautiful discovery of Monbasa - Omar took us to the small streets of the old town of Monbasa giving us all the explanations and answering our questions in impeccable French with great kindness. But he especially introduced us to the work of the Akamba tribe who work wood in an exceptional way. Real artists! Thank you Omar for a great morning.
