See the artist at work - Tim, my guide, was flexible and worked with me when my plane was late getting in. The history walk was quite interesting and I learned a lot about Kenya I didn't know. I enjoyed seeing different parts of the city. I picked two of the workshops/souvenirs shops I wanted to see. At both I got to see the artisians at work. Both had great shops as well. This was a grest way to spend my morning.

Excellent tour - highly recommend - Mwose my tour guide was excellent. It was a completely personalised experience so I felt very special. The start of the tour includes an overview of the history of Nairobi all while taking in the magnificent view from the top of the Kenyatta convention centre helipad. The beads factory was fantastic. So wonderful to see something which is helping to benefit an entire community of women. Mwose was so flexible throughout the afternoon continually checking on my preferences and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. I know most people coming to Nairobi will go for a safari tour but I would highly recommend also doing this tour if you have more time to spare and want to see another side to Nairobi .

Layover Trip in Nairobi - I had a 9 hour layover in Nairobi so I decided to have an adventure. I was met at the airport by Tim who was my personal guide for the tour. He is very knowledgeable on Kenyan history and the social studies teacher in me truly appreciated the in depth information he provided. I would have like to see more historical sites but my time constraint didn't leave much room for that.
Shopping was interesting. Although I saw some people with their guides while shopping, Tim hung back. Not sure if that was good or bad but prepare to haggle with them to get the best price.
The Kobe Tough location was cool. There is no haggling (or at least I didn't try it). The restaurant he took me too was good. I should have trusted him and took my time. I rushed through my dinner to make sure I didn't miss my flight and never got a chance to look at the shops that were located on the grounds.
I would definitely do this again.

Great Tour! - Micheal was very knowledgeable about Nairobi. He was very patient as we shopped and picked some nice places for us to go. Kobe Tough was amazing and the jewelry is great quality. The city view was awesome as well. I would tour again.

Great way to spend an afternoon in Nairobi - Lovely experience. My guide Mwose communicated well, was there to pick me up from the airport promptly, and was very in tune to my comfort level. We saw a good deal of Nairobi, then went to some wonderful stores. I especially enjoyed the bead factory even went back the next day again.

A wonderfully picked, personalised shopping experience with a great guide - We only had a couple of days in Nairobi, and a shopping trip while you're there is an absolute must. There are few places in the world that can boast such an incredible range of high skill, cultural crafts. Mwose did an amazing job of personalising our trip to our interests and swapping shops in cases where we had previously visited the ones on the itinerary. It was also fascinating to speak to him about his experiences and learn about the Kenyan political and cultural landscape. No hesitation in recommending the trip, just come prepared with space in your suitcase and an openness to unexpected gems (literal and figurative).

A must do! - Tim was our guide and was so knowledge and helpful. Gave us a lot of history about Kenya and Nairobi as well as took us to some great shopping. We were able to get most of what we wanted before going on safari. This trip was exactly what we were looking for. Extremely convenient pick up and drop off at our hotel.
