Informative and fun walking tour of the history on Nairobi - Tim was knowledgeable low key guide. I enjoyed the information he provided about the buildings and locations we walked through. As a guide he shielded me from the more aggressive pan handlers and vendors. At the same time he explained appropriate photo taking. Ending with the panoramic view of the city was a great finally,

Explore Nairobi and understand Kenyan history - Thank you Tim for amazing insights and touring around Nairobi, for answering all my questions about Kenyan politics and telling me about the history. I would never have found all these places by myself and I feel have a way better understanding of Nairobi city and its history now. I felt safe and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommend going on this tour with Tim!

Fun Adventure Day in Nairobi ❤️ - We definitely recommend the Nairobi historical walking city tour with Michael. My husband and I had a wonderful and informative time on our tour. Michael was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He was able to tell us about the complete Nairobi history as well as escorted us to some interesting places such as the Nairobi city market, jeevanjee garden and the KCC Rooftop etc. From the rooftop Michael pointed out important and interesting landmarks. We felt very safe traveling around Nairobi with Michael! We had a ton of fun! Thank you Michael 🙏🏾

This is a GREAT way to see Nairobi! - We had an extra day in Nairobu, and were overwhelmed by trying to learn about the city on our own. Mwose and Ezekiel both shared the history, pointing out historic areas, landmarks and modern cultural buildings. We were able to ask questions and learned a lot. Mwose and Ezekiel were knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. We asked to stop and eat try a cooked fish at the city market, and ride the matatu (decorated city bus). They really listened to what we wanted to see We felt safe while crossing the streets, and they looked out for us in certain areas. They were able to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel. If you're curious about Nairobi, I highly recommend walking with this company. 👌
