Our guide, Godfrey, contacted us via whatsapp short after we made the booking and that way we managed to arrange our meeting point and timing.
We went first to two Hindu temples, including the oldest in Mombasa. Unfortunately of so many house of worships in Mombasa, only those two are open for visitors. Godfrey diligently explained everything we need to know about the customs. From there he took us to a Park and the Elephant Tusks monument.
While at Fort Jesus, Godfrey gave us lots of historical background and he showed us places that most tourists didn't go. We also learned how the Portuguese were kicked out by the Arabs and how the Arabs fortify the fort further.
Finally, he took us to the old town and the spice market.
All in all, a short but very insightful half day tour. Highly recommended.
