When in Dar es Salaam, do not miss this tour!

Published on May, 2025

Bernard is passionate about his city Dar es Salaam. He told us about its history, old and modern, architecture, religion, society, art and music. TO h have lunch in Akemi, a revolving restaurant with magnificent views, was a plus. We were taken around the city by a driver in a comfortable A/C minivan. We even visited a supermarket and a bookshop for last minute items we where looking for. It was our priviledge to meet this young, enthusiastic man! Look for him at DW and BBC videos. We recommend 100% this tour when visiting Tanzania.

When in Dar es Salaam, this tour is a must!

Must do for a critical insight into historically rich Dar Es Salaam!

Published on Dec, 2024

I’d recommend a tour with Ben for anyone looking to explore Dar Es Salaam through a critical, knowledgeable lens! We had an incredibly insightful day with Ben in the centre of historically rich Dar Es Salaam. Walking through the bustling Downtown and Posta areas, he shared his knowledge on Germany and Britains colonisation of today’s Tanzania and other histories of the city. His passion for his home town, for architecture, historical ties and continuations make Ben a great guide and will captivate you for sure!

“Exceptional Tour Experience in Dar es Salaam with Ben”

Published on Dec, 2024

We had the pleasure of joining Ben for a guided tour in Dar es Salaam, and it was an unforgettable experience! Ben’s deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and architecture was truly impressive. He navigated us through vibrant local markets, historic sites, and hidden gems that I would never have discovered on my own. What stood out most was his engaging storytelling and ability to connect historical events to the present day, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. He was also incredibly friendly, accommodating, and attentive to everyone’s interests and needs. Thanks to Ben, I left with a richer understanding of Dar es Salaam and its unique charm. If you’re looking for an exceptional guide to explore the city, I highly recommend Ben!
