Lovely exercise and exciting route

This was good exercise mixed with exciting stops on the road and a super good way to mark Kampala at the same time. The guide, Kakembo Sudais, made sure we got a lot to know about the places we stopped at and the areas we came through. To his great praise it must also be said that the pace was completely perfect - not so slow that we became impatient but at the same time neither too fast so there was time to take it all into. Really a fantastic trip and you experience in hours what you alone would spend days on - if you would even find all the places on the trip.

Fantastic tour from start...

Fantastic tour from start to finish! You get a bit of everything: incredible 360-degree views from the top of the Gaddafi National Mosque, the bustling and vibrant energy of Kisenyi and Owino Market, and a fascinating look at the Old Taxi Park. Finishing up with the colorful sights of Nakasero Market and a history lesson at the Independence Monument wrapped up the day perfectly. Highly recommend this tour if you want an authentic, safe, and deeply informative walking experience in the city!

Real life in Kampala

This was a great tour of all parts of Kampala. We visited wealthy neighborhoods, shopping districts, and slums. The city's contrasts were truly striking. I especially enjoyed visiting the food market, where I bought some fruit and spices. The mosque is also a landmark. You can climb the minaret for a stunning 360-degree view. The guide was very knowledgeable and had a good understanding of the area. I highly recommend it.

Vibrant walking city tour

The Kampala walking tour provides a real-life view of the city’s vibrancy, and Nasser brought it to life. From the historical buildings, to the dusty streets, from the myriad of bustling vendors to the lively metal, clothes and food markets to taxi stations to Independence Square, this tour provides a peak of daily life. Anyone looking for a few hours glimpse of the city, this a good way to spend you time.

Great trip combining everyday life with history.

Am Nasser collected us on time and took us on a very informative and interesting trip around Kampala. We started at the mosque and then walked through different areas of town. He combined this with lots of interesting information about life in Uganda historically and in the present. We had local food and then he walked us back to the start. An excellent trip with an excellent guide.
