Don’t hesitate! It’s a magical ride. - It was incredible. It felt like we lived 3 lives in one afternoon- so many sights to see and experience. Far outside my expectations. We had really meaningful conversations with Steve, stuff we are still talking about later. There was not a single thing I didn’t enjoy or found dull. Kampala is special. Uganda is special. I think anyone who explores this stunning place it will leave feeling touched by African magic. Sending love to Steve!

Great walking tour with Steve getting to the gems of the city - Steve is a friendly, knowledgeable guide who knows the city well and shows you all the great spots you won't find without him. He shares his vast knowledge of the country and the city from both historical and modern perspectives. he studied at Makerere University obtaining his master in Tourism and deserves that title for every inch.

Excellent experience - I can highly recommend Steve and his walking tour of Kampala. Steve is easy to communicate with, via whatsapp, and explains superbly all the sights and sounds of Uganda's capital city. It was a pleasure to walk with him. Note that he also organizes tours to Lake Victoria.

Totally worth it! - We are a couple and joined the walking tour on August the 22nd in the afternoon with Getrude, Steve’s wife.
We had the chance to visit some crucial locations in Kampala, accompanied by a detailed description.
We felt super safe walking around with Getrude and she never missed the chance to explain us as much as possible about the city, the inhabitants and also she was very pleased to answer our many questions.
Also, Getrude was okay in staying a bit longer we with us at the Mosque (which was not included), we really appreciate her time and kindness.
This tour is totally worth it! You should not miss it!
Thank you, Getrude, we wish you all the best!
