Habib and Rana are great!!!

We had a very informative, fun and authentic experience with Habib and Rama. They showed us many monuments important institutions and then we walked down to a number of markets with various goods. We stopped for rolex. They showed us the taxi park. The oldest market was over 100 years old and still so authentic and used daily for peoples normal daily shopping! They even took us to the bus station and helped us organize a ticket to Nairobi!!
