Amazing walking tour of the parts of CBD you won’t see on your own - The tour was so insightful and a must-do if you are spending any time in Nairobi. Our guide was Thaiphoon and his story was inspiring, his guiding impeccable, and his mission spot-on.

Amazing Experience in Nairobi Downtown! - This tour is amazing! It is super interesting and shows you the probably least touristy part of Nairobi. The stories of our guides are unbelievable. Big thanks to Taifun for showing us around his former home and being so open about his former life. Although not the safest neighborhood, I felt very safe with our guides. A truly amazing experience.

Amazing, inspiring, interesting and touching tour!!! - Did a tour with the boys : Typhoon, Priest and King, and I just wanted to thank them again for the wonderful time my mum and I had!
It was so inspiring, interesting, and touching to hear their stories and see their resilience. It gives so much hope to see how far they’ve come, and I truly hope more streetboys will find their way to a bright future too. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it was an experience we will never forget!🌞☺️

Great tour with personal character - Very personal tour & an experience we would definetly recommend doing!
Always felt safe in downtown as there were multiple guides and friends to keep an eye on you.
Authentic food.
One recommendation: would be cool to switch guides during the tour in order to hear more than one story

The best tour ever taken - We weren’t quite sure what to expect with this tour and had been warned that it was in a very crowded and dangerous area of town.
However we met five guides and from that instant we had no concerns whatsoever.
For the next 2 1/half hours we heard their stories Which were wrenching but also uplifting.
We went through the downtown looking at places of interest that were woven with their lives while learning about the downtown area.
All five guides were amazing - generous with their time and energy and provided an outstanding experience.
Having travelled much of the world and done numerous tours in all of the cities this was by far the best and most moving tour we have ever undertaken

The highlight of my time in Nairobi - If you are reading this review, I cannot encourage you strongly enough to go on this tour. We consider it to be one of the highlights of our time in Kenya.
Typhoon, and Quick were our guides and they are truly wonderful. They are both warm, generous, young men who were eager to share with us the reality of life on the streets of Nairobi. Walking with them and listening to their stories is a life changing experience. If you choose this tour, you will see a side of Nairobi that I think all tourists should see and you will undoubtedly be changed by the experience.

Incredible experience - With Nai Nami, we were able to get to know an area of Nairobi that would be difficult to go alone. The guides were cordial and shared their personal stories, which helps us perceive a face of the streets of Nairobi. We could share a meal at a local restaurant. A true life lesson, in which to feel the discomfort of hearing another reality told by ourselves makes us better understand the city we are in.

An unexpected experience - This tour was fantastic. We had guides Priest and Quick. Priest shared with us his experience of growing up and living on the streets of the area we were visiting.They both made us feel very safe. The tour was very eye opening as we went to places we never would have gone alone. I would recommend this tour for sure.
