The perfect intro to Nairobi - Moses was a fabulous tour guide. I did a walking tour on my first day in the city to get a taste of Nairobi, and had a brilliant time. As a guide, Moses was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Kenyan history. I’ll be sure to book again for other tours offered.

Informational tour and very professional guide! 👏👏👏 - We had an excellent experience on our walking tour with Michael. He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire tour. Despite our limited timeline, Michael was very accommodating and adjusted the itinerary to ensure we could still see all the key sights. One of the highlights was visiting the rooftop of the KCC, where we enjoyed a stunning view of the city. As tourists unfamiliar with Nairobi, we felt very safe walking through the city with Michael. He guided us confidently and shared fascinating insights into the history of Nairobi. Thank you, Michael, for a memorable experience!

Get to know Nairobi and Kenya on your layover! - This was the perfect way to spend a few hours during a long layover in Nairobi. I requested Tim as my guide based on previous reviews and he did not disappoint. He was informative and comprehensive. It ended up being a private tour since I was the only one, and we spent almost 3 hours together. We started in the uptown district with a brief history of Kenya and Nairobi, then walked to the city market where I had the opportunity to shop. We continued moving through the city with Tim pausing to explain important landmarks but also interesting historical buildings you wouldn’t otherwise notice if he didn’t point them out. We went to the top of the Kenyatta International Conference Center (USD 5) which I do recommend since it’s a nice way to cap off the tour and get a better understanding of the city layout. Tim indicated a several additional points of interest on the rooftop. He communicated well prior to the tour on WhatsApp, so it was easy to meet him, and he contacted my driver and waited with me until he arrived, which I also appreciated. Highly recommend.

Great tour when you have just a few hours. - Our guide Tim did a great job throughout our entire morning tour. He gave us history of presidents and buildings and showed through some interesting spots. We didn’t have a lot of time but he was thorough with the things we were able to see.

Introduction to Nairobi and Kenya - This being our first time in Nairobi, we decided to do this approx. 3-hour tour and were not disappointed. Michael gave as an insightful introduction to life in Nairobi and Kenya in general and showed us many interesting buildings and monuments throughout the city as well as an indoor and outdoor market. He told us about the meaning of wooden masks in Kenyan culture, showed us some of his own paintings and gave us an excellent explanation of the view from the KICC at the end of the tour.
