Great tour!

I booked this tour in June with Ferdavs. She is an amazing guide! I enjoyed the tour a lot and she even tailored it for me to meet my needs. Thanks a lot and I recommend the tour to everyone, especially great for female travelers.

Walking around Kampala

I recommend this visit to anyone who wants to explore the city in the company of a safe and experienced guide. Fridaus was very kind. Very knowledgeable about attractions and at each sightseeing provided us with a historical and cultural back ground. Very interesting! Thank you!

5 stars for the 2 hour Kampala walking tour

Had a great experience being shown around Kampala! I did the shorter 2-hour walking tour and highly recommend it if you’re low on time but still want to see the city.

Operator response

Thank you Amanda for supporting local female initiatives. We are glad that you were pleased with our service.

The local knowledge from our guide Fridaus was invaluable. What a great guide. We walked our way through markets, mosques, temples, monuments and more. A really great tour to start a Kampala adventure. Highly recommended

One way walking touring

I highly recommend going around Kampala with a local guide. Fridaus was lovely and very knowledgeable. She explained history of uganda, and cultural practices. I would warn you though this is a one way tour. We were left at the Mosque with no clear understanding how to get back to our hotel and no Internet to call an Uber or use Maps to walk back. Fridaus was kind enough to call an Uber for us.

Operator response

Thank you for the feedback. It’s true that this is some way tour, we start our tour at a meeting point and end at a different stop where you can easily access transportation. And if your not connected to internet, the guide will definitely help and will not leave until you’ve left.

Amazing tour!

This tour is great! I've been on this tour twice now and both my hosts (Sarah and Fridaus) have been wonderful. All the spots are so interesting and varied, and you get to try delicious food.

Operator response

Thank you Laura for choosing us not once but twice. We really appreciate your support.

Great tour to see the real life of Kampala with a very knowledgeable guide, highly recommend

I had one day to see Kampala on my first visit to Uganda. And what a great day it was spent with Fredaus. She was so knowledgeable and the tour gave me a true taste of the local life and culture. I am quite an experienced traveller but I am glad I opted to have a guide as I have learned a lot and also felt very safe (as a female) walking along the streets and markets of Kampala and being taken to the best sport to take the photos. Highly recommend this tour. It was very easy to book (I literally booked it while chatting in the cafe with another solo female tourist who recommended it to me).

Great day! Would recommend!

I was shown the sights of Kampala by Fridaus. She was amazing. I originally thought I would walk the markets and mosque by myself, thank god for Fridaus as I now know I would not have seen anything like I did. She told me all the history of Gadaffi Mosque, the independence statue, the war memorial and she carefully guided me throught the busiest markets, we did Owino market which sells EVERYTHING and nakasero market for vegetables and fruit. She explained and helped me buy some local foods and snacks. I cannot thank her enough for the funny stories, the history but most of all the feeling of security I had having her guide me around the busy streets.

Most Comprehensive Walking Tour You'll Find!

We had Frida, and she was fantastic — so warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating! As for the experience itself, this is probably the most comprehensive walking tour you'll find. We explored downtown, uptown, and central Kampala! We even squeezed in some shopping at the fabric district and the Craft Village. It was a privilege to explore places we couldn't venture on our own, like Owino Market. Stay close to your guide and you’re in for a great time!
