Overview

This is a safe walking tour. Ideal for people on a layover. We treat you to a safe fruit salad. We might engage you in cooking Chapati or ugali which are very popular foods in Kenya. We sit in one of the local restaurants to have a feel of the food experience in Nairobi. We pay for your shoes to be cleaned at shoe cleaning kiosk and we treat you to a street photo shoot. All optional. This tour is customizable to your time. You can book for any three hours within the day but normal starting times are 9 a.m and 3 p.m. While you can stroll around Nairobi by yourself, you cant compare this to the wealth of information you would get from our guide. The sense of security and ease of getting around wouldn't also compare. We also teach you some everyday cool Nairobi slang and basic Swahili words and sentences. We basically teach you how to blend into the culturally diverse city.

A Fun Afternoon with Dennis and Patrick

Published on Oct, 2024

Today we had a really fun and informative tour with Dennis and Patrick. Dennis did most of the talking and his gregarious personality is perfect for a tour guide. Patrick was a wonderful accompaniment for Dennis. We felt like we had known them all of our lives. They did a great job explaining the history and culture of the city. We especially enjoyed going to the top of the KICC building at sunset. The views of the city were breathtaking.

Great way to Find Your Feet on day 1

Great tour. We were (3) adults all solo travelers so it was a nice small group and a good way to meet other travelers. Dennis was very knowledgeable about the Kenyan history, and I appreciated his perspectives on the "real-time" issues affecting Kenya. Believe this is a must do tour and I'd also do a tour of downtown to enable a traveler to experience the contrast between the different areas of the city.

Dennis is great host

Wonderful way to see inner Nairobi. Dennis is a knowledgeable local man who is entertaining whilst being informative.

you won’t regret this tour!!

a MUST do if you’re visiting nairobi!! dennis is a phenomenal guide and was extremely knowledgeable (and excited) to share the city’s rich history. the entire tour was awesome and ended with a spectacular rooftop experience. i would certainly book him again!! just be prepared to turn down several beggars and local people trying to overcharge you for small items. the constant pressure and solicitation from others was a bit distracting but dennis did an awesome job at deterring them and keeping things calm and enjoyable.

Make this your first tour, you will thank me for it later!!

Our your guide, Dennis was very knowledgeable on history, culture, and current events. We wished he would have been our first tour because he pointed out a lot of tourist trappings that allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the rest of our trip.
