Coffee Tour and Arusha City Tour - 100% worth an exceptional tour we did in Arusha.
I'm so glad we booked this experience, we learned so much, our guides are very open and friends to tell about the culture of Tanzania, history and landmark of the city where mostly we discovered by our foot.,
The coffee tour we enjoyed as well, the organic in a small village where the host told us so much about organic coffee and mostly we didn't know before,
Thanks for everything on this tour.

Highlight of the trip to Arusha 10/5 Stars - This full day tour, is absolutely great and worth having it in Arusha.
No rush at all, much time the guide tells about history, culture, foods and coffee plantation tours.
Our guide Israel, is top notch, he answered all our questions and he's the young guide who's dream to be the best Tanzania guide and I'm sure he can for how smart he is, Israel knows what you want to learn as a tourist, his patient, very friendly, I like the joking from him and his very helpful.
Our full day in Arusha with Israel is one of the best moments and highlights we have for our trip in Africa.
I recommend to take this trip with Israel, where you will learn, feel home, very welcoming always and be with the honest guide.

A Day of Discover Arusha (Culture, history, coffee & Cascades) - It was a very nice day and we were all happy for our visit for this great tour in Arusha. It's almost a full day where you can learn much about Culture, history and coffee plantations.
The tour was led by our knowledgeable guide Baraka and his friend's driver.
It was our last day and we didn't know that we hadn't seen a lot and learned about Tanzania and Arusha.
If you have time and want to learn much, this is the best tour I can recommend in Arusha.

Nice Experience for Coffee, Waterfall and City tour. - This is our last and also best day in Arusha,
We spent almost all day in Arusha with Yusuph again for this wonderful experience,
We went to the downtown area of Arusha where we discovered the food market, museum and handmade market, where we bought our souvenirs. Our tour went above and beyond the Napuru waterfall where we experienced the beautiful nature and they called the paradise of Arusha, we had a simple and short hike in the Napuru waterfall and our last part we had our cup of coffee where we met family from the village and they leading us for the coffee experience from all stage and we learn so much about the local way of make coffee and organic coffee which is different taste than the coffee I used to,
Thanks so much for this tour and I 100% recommend this tour in Arusha.

A Beautiful Day in Arusha (Coffee, City and Waterfall) - Our beautiful day begins in the morning by warmly welcomed by our friendly guide James,.
James is a very kind and funny human, he made our day great by showing us the city of Arusha. As a tourist it's so hard to see by yourself, we went to the historical sites, food market and the big gallery,.
Our second time we went to the beautiful waterfall of Napuru and James still covered and led us for the super and smooth hike to the waterfall which is beautiful.
Our last tour is to make our own cup of coffee and we went to another village with James friends and took us to the coffee farm where we learn a lot about different crops and medicine plants.
Thanks to our guide James and all the staff companies for organizing this trip for us,
You made our day better and thanks so much, we are so happy to have this trip with.

Excellent Experience with a Nicest Guide. - The guide is very friendly and explains everything, we also asked many questions and he was happy to answer all of our questions, he's too funny too.
I recommend this tour in the morning and evening probably that you can have a chance to see some animals like monkeys and birds, but in the afternoon it is very nice to skip the heat in town, It is good to take a clean breath in the forest.
The cup of coffee is very nice and we really enjoyed it the most and our guide who's also the owner of a farm, he got a rich education about coffee and other crops around.
We learn so much and we definitely recommend this tour.

City Tour, Waterfall and Coffee Tour, (3 Best Tour in Arusha). - It's an incredible day, a lot of things to do; we had James as our guide who picked us up at our hotel and we started our tour by visiting the town of Arusha; we are happy to learn so much in Arusha town with James, this include learn of History, cultural and interact with the people and experience some daily routen of the life. Our tour was accompanied by a short drive to the Napuru waterfall where we had a smooth hike to the waterfall and last we had the best coffee tour and it's not far villages each other of coffee and waterfall and even not far from town, so most of the time you can spend on tour than driving.
We came to love this tour the most and the destination we went to was not the tourist crowd and it was the tour I can recommend if you get the time in Arusha by any chance.
