Jackson was an outstanding driver! He was professional, friendly, and made our experience in Kenya even more enjoyable. We highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again the next time we visit Kenya.
Jackson was an excellent tour guide. Such a good way to see Nairobi on a transit
Jackson. Jackson. Jackson. The tour was amazing but Jackson the guide made it 100x better. Excited, energetic, friendly, kind, he was what made this tour remarkable.
Great experience and wonderful company. Driver was excellent and very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend going with this company.
I had a great time on this tour! I booked kind of very last minute, however, the organizers were very helpful and accommodating in building the tour program for the day. Also, many thanks to my driver who was driving very safely and was actually quite knowledgeable about the places I visited. I definitely recommend this tour for a short or longer stay in Nairobi

The tour operator was very flexible. Driver Jackson was educational & entertaining. You can choose how many hours you want to be in the tour. Our hotel was not amongst those listed, but the tour operator was very flexible and accommodating and made it happen. We were very grateful for that. The driver Jackson made sure we went to all the places listed and gave us a really good tour of Nairobi. He was very informative of the history, and his English was really good. The tour operator kept in constant contact with us prior to the tour, and made sure everything was fine, then checked in at the end of the tour. Jackson, our driver also took us to a very good local restaurant- as we requested that, and the food was delicious. At the national park, he did his best to ensure that we saw many different animals. All in all we were able to accomplish a lot in a short time, and had a great time. We never felt pressured. We learnt a lot about Nairobi and enjoyed this tour.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great and flexible experience exploring Nairobi.

We’re also glad our team could make everything smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another memorable adventure!
Very expensive for what it is. Not great value for money. The best part was the national park which we had to pay an addional £75, so all in all £500. Ease of use was good. Driver was friendly. Partner was also taken ill and we had to return to the airport a few hours early, tried to get a very small refund for the two hours but was declined

We only had a short window to explore Nairobi between flying in at NBO in the afternoon and out the following morning to go on safari. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the Giraffe Center (a memorable experience), then we stopped at the Golden Eagle shop to see original handcrafted masai souvenirs, followed by a driving tour of the main sites in the city. I’m grateful someone else was driving because traffic is nuts here. The tour guide was friendly and explained everything.
Thank you so much for sharing your review! We're glad to hear you made the most of your short time in Nairobi and enjoyed visiting the Giraffe Center, local shops, and city landmarks. It’s great that your guide helped make the experience smooth and informative — and we agree, having someone else drive through Nairobi traffic is definitely a bonus! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again for another adventure.
We had a full day layover in Nairobi so booked this to make the most of some of our time. We were aware that we would still have some time waiting at the airport before and after though. However, on seeing our flight times the company picked us up immediately from our inward flight and took us out all day, giving us additional hours for free. Nairobi National Park was brilliant for a morning trip, we saw a number of animals including zebra, giraffes and rhinos. Feeding giraffes at the Center was great. We also enjoyed driving through the slums as it gave us a real insight into Kenya. Our driver was friendly and accommodating. We felt safe all day.
