Comprehensive Walking Tour - Tim and Ezekiel were fantastic guides! We arrived knowing nothing and after the tour had a sound understanding of history, culture, architecture and fun facts that really brought the city alive for us. In addition, their communication in advance of the tour was exceptional. We felt welcomed to Nairobi and encourage you to take this walking tour!!!

Solo female traveler around Nairobi city - Had Tim walk me around the uptown downtown every corner of the city. Talked about history, excellent information. Nice experience. Being solo female traveler felt safe (though there was some protest going on) Will recommend him for anyone looking for this tour.

A nice walk around Nairobi - Ezekiel was a great tour guide. Not only was he very knowledgeable of the history of Kenya but he is very understanding of unforseen circumstances that came that made us late. We felt safe walking around Nairobi with him and he was very straightforward about what we should expect in each neighborhoods. We would totally recommend booking a tour guide with Ezekiel.

A must do - Went on this trip solo, it was also just me and the tour guide Tim. This was an amazing experience and it felt I got to know the true Nairobi walking around it with experiences I will never forget. Tim was very, very knowledgeable and an excellent guide that was able to answer any questions I had. This was also very safe, I was sceptical at the start especially as I was on my own but the route is well planned and the guide is very experienced. 10/10

My family's visit to Nairobi Kenya - We had an awesome time. Mwose was very knowledgeable and helpful with accommodating. He took my family and I on a historical walk tour in Nairobi Kenya. It was beautiful learning about the history of Nairobi Kenya. We enjoyed him being our tour guide so much that we booked another tour the next day we felt safe and the price were very good. I can turly say he took care of us and made sure we were happy. On the second day we went to Nairobi National Park and the Elephant Orphanage as well as the Giraffe center all in the same day. Mwose had the driver pick us up the next morning and even the drive was awesome. We were so blessed to have met them. 🙏🏽 Thank you so much Mwose!!!

Interesting tour but disappointed that the KICC tower was closed - The tour was informative. Tim and Ezekiel were pleasant and nice, but I was disappointed that the visit to the Kenyatta International Conference Centre rooftop - listed as part of the tour (although with a separate payment) - could not take place because of some event at the Centre. Why schedule a $43 tour and charge full price if part of it cannot be delivered? Still a decent introduction to Nairobi’s and Kenya’s history and culture.

My 3 hour walking tour... - My 3 hour walking tour with Ezekiel was really informative. Not only did I learn about the history of Nairobi but also Kenya and the cultures of the people who live here. Ezekiel was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour at the start of your Nairobi experience.
