A very good time! - Many thanks to Omar for discovering the old town of Mombasa. We spent two hours with him walking the alleys with anecdotes, history and real kindness. Omar speaks excellent French and knows well the history of his city that he evokes with passion. He lives in the old town and it is therefore a real plus for the visit! You can also count on him for a visit to the spice market and if you want to make some purchases. Do not hesitate, you will have a great time!

Great guide experience in Mombasa - An incredible visit with Omar to Mombasa; he told us about his life, his city, tells local anecdotes and spoke along with a beautiful emotion. My wife and I loved those 5 hours in her presence. Available, attentive and willing to explain in detail in perfect French, Omar is the guide you need

Great tour of the old town of Monbassa. - Great guide, very professional and familiar with My Bass and the history of the country. Very nice and responding to all our requests. We also visited a co-operative manufacturing wooden objects. Very nice and resonable price (but not negotiable! ) I highly recommend this guide.
