Highlights
  • Kenyatta International Conference Center - Our walking tour starting by picking you from your Nairobi Hotel 9AM. The first stop will be The Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), this is a 28-storey building located in Nairobi’s CBD (Central Business District) and is within walking distance of several five-star hotels. This is the best and only way to tour Nairobi in 5 minutes, literally! From the top of this building you will summarize your experience of the city and observe all that Nairobi has to offer with an eagle’s eye view. The view from the rooftop, which historically served as a helipad, is one of the best of my beloved Nairobi. This 360-degree bird’s eye view of the city center is unrivaled. On a clear day you can spot some of the city’s green spaces like Uhuru Park, Central Park, City Park, Railways Golf Course and the Nairobi National Park. Do dress warmly; it gets rather windy up there, especially in the evenings.

Excellent experience - We spent half a day with Patrick touring Nairobi. He showed us around the city, took us to Bomas of Kenya, on a trip on a local bus and for lunch at a traditional Kenyan cafe. Not only was Patrick a wonderful companion but he also gave us a real cultural insight into Kenya. We had a wonderful time and would thoroughly recommend the tour!

Excellent! - Our Nairobi City tour was excellent. Our tour guide Kelvin was very knowledgeable of the city and showed us all of the important sites while teaching us interesting Kenyan history. Kelvin has the best personality.....we didn't want our tour (and time with hi) to end. Highly recommended tour - you will see and learn a lot!

A great city walk - This city tour was amazing! Stephen, the guide, was really professional and took time to explain everything. I enjoyed walking among locals and just discovering the streets. I particularly enjoyed the Memorial peace museum and Kenyatta international centre where you could see the whole city from the top of the tallest building

Falsely advertised. - My husband and I were very excited to explore the city. In particular we were looking forward to going to the observation deck and also shopping in the city markets which the description clearly indicated. The first red flag was that apparently these tours are just sent out to a group of independent contractors. When we arrived in the city (after 90 minutes in traffic) the tour guides had no clear plan. They asked us where we wanted to go; when I said the markets I was told there were no markets on Mondays. Disappointed and frustrated already, we asked to go to the observation deck overlooking Nairobi. After a quick walk, the tour guides were surprised to see construction and that the building was closed. These items were clearly listed and in the case of the observation deck included in the price of the tour. We were now 2 1/2 hours into our 4 hour tour due yo traffic and we asked the drivers to bring us back to the hotel. The your company refused any kind of partial or full refund. Buyer beware.
