Great tour in Nairobi - I had a great time on this tour! I booked kind of very last minute, however, the organizers were very helpful and accommodating in building the tour program for the day.
Also, many thanks to my driver who was driving very safely and was actually quite knowledgeable about the places I visited.
I definitely recommend this tour for a short or longer stay in Nairobi

Great flexible tour, where you can do so much! - The tour operator was very flexible. Driver Jackson was educational & entertaining. You can choose how many hours you want to be in the tour. Our hotel was not amongst those listed, but the tour operator was very flexible and accommodating and made it happen. We were very grateful for that. The driver Jackson made sure we went to all the places listed and gave us a really good tour of Nairobi. He was very informative of the history, and his English was really good.
The tour operator kept in constant contact with us prior to the tour, and made sure everything was fine, then checked in at the end of the tour. Jackson, our driver also took us to a very good local restaurant- as we requested that, and the food was delicious. At the national park, he did his best to ensure that we saw many different animals. All in all we were able to accomplish a lot in a short time, and had a great time. We never felt pressured. We learnt a lot about Nairobi and enjoyed this tour.

Four hour whirlwind tour - We only had a short window to explore Nairobi between flying in at NBO in the afternoon and out the following morning to go on safari. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the Giraffe Center (a memorable experience), then we stopped at the Golden Eagle shop to see original handcrafted masai souvenirs, followed by a driving tour of the main sites in the city. I’m grateful someone else was driving because traffic is nuts here. The tour guide was friendly and explained everything.

Excellent - We had a full day layover in Nairobi so booked this to make the most of some of our time. We were aware that we would still have some time waiting at the airport before and after though. However, on seeing our flight times the company picked us up immediately from
our inward flight and took us out all day, giving us additional hours for free.
Nairobi National Park was brilliant for a morning trip, we saw a number of animals including zebra, giraffes and rhinos.
Feeding giraffes at the Center was great.
We also enjoyed driving through the slums as it gave us a real insight into Kenya.
Our driver was friendly and accommodating. We felt safe all day.

A professional, kind, and knowledgeable lead as we traversed the city, its various landmarks, and giraffe center.

Must-Do Tour! Do not sit at the airport and miss out on an experience you won’t forget! - We had the most incredible day in Nairobi thanks to our amazing guide, Jackson! From the moment he picked us up at the airport, he was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. He curated a private tour that perfectly suited our interests and made sure we were comfortable and safe the entire time.
We visited the Giraffe Center, explored the city, and spent a breathtaking afternoon in Nairobi National Park—where we saw rhinos, hippos, baboons, and so much more! Jackson was so knowledgeable and patient, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop at our own pace.
What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared about our experience. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was seamless and memorable, and then got us back to the airport right on time. Highly recommend Jackson if you’re looking for a safe, caring, and unforgettable tour in Nairobi!

Ok experience - Very expensive for what it is. Not great value for money. The best part was the national park which we had to pay an addional £75, so all in all £500.
Ease of use was good. Driver was friendly.
Partner was also taken ill and we had to return to the airport a few hours early, tried to get a very small refund for the two hours but was declined
