Highly recommended tour to get to know Arusha city! Daudi is fantastic! - Had a really nice time exploring Arusha with our guide Daudi. He was super friendly, relaxed, and easy to talk to. During the city walk he shared a lot of interesting things about local life, markets, and the culture in Arusha, which made the experience feel very authentic. We also hiked to Napuru Waterfall, which was beautiful and peaceful. Daudi made the walk enjoyable by explaining the farms, plants, and the local community along the way. He was also very patient and made sure everyone felt comfortable during the hike. Overall it was a great experience. If you’re visiting Arusha and want to explore with a knowledgeable and friendly local guide, I definitely recommend Daudi! ⭐️

Get well to know all about Arusha. - Our guide, all the stops, walking distance and including driving for some far stop is Wonder. We get more than we expected on this tour, we have Damson our expert guide who takes us around Arusha, we walk to the Arusha down town and we like this tour because you will taste all parts of Arusha experience from local streets, museums, government areas, historical sites and art gallery. If you have time in Arusha, don't judge yourself twice to take this tour in Arusha. With the session, experience and service you get you will never regret for what you have paid.
