Learning a Lot About Nairobi in a Single Day - Benson, as tour leader-driver, was the perfect person to navigate me through the varied activities of a busy day—with his knowledge, friendliness, and patience. There were four events to attend and lots of traffic to drive through. His comments were informative and interesting. If I had the choice available, I would have liked to have him lead me through the museums himself. The museums' assigned guides were well informed; but I would have preferred Benson for continuity.

Deeper Glimpses of Kenya - I was especially interested in the Karen Blixen Museum; and it turned out to be a special, enjoyable experience. The guide was well informed and helpful. The Railway Museum was fascinating and well worth the time, both indoors and outdoors. The guide was well informed and helpful. The National Museum is well done and informative. The guides were well informed and helpful. Looking back, I wish that I had taken more time to look at some of the exhibits on my own, too. The Bomas of Kenya program is magnificent.

Excellent - The tour guide was extremely personable and friendly. We enjoyed the history he shared on various items in the museum as well as driving us around to see various parts of Nairobi. The cultural dances at Bomas was the highlight for us. I will definitely strongly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Nairobi.
