Misleading Title, but Still an Interesting Experience - I joined the “Nairobi Cooking and Food Tasting Activity” expecting a hands-on cooking class and a guided food tasting of different local dishes. However, the experience turned out to be quite different. Instead of cooking or trying multiple foods, we received one mixed plate of local dishes at a market, followed by a walking city tour. While it was nice to see a more local side of Nairobi and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the activity didn’t match what was advertised. I would recommend the tour to those interested in a casual city walk with a local meal, but not for someone looking for an actual cooking or food tasting experience.
