Humphrey was a great guide, sharing historical knowledge. On this particular day I was the only one on tour which he shared in advance with me on the morning. As a solo traveller, he was easy to be guided by, set a great pace and let me spend time where I was interested most. He made it easy for me to see and learn about the town. Conversation was easy and he happily answered questions. Our driver Elizabeth was wonderful too, adding extra stops I was interested to see and enabling me to see much more than I would have . Great experience. Thank you.

Make sure to book with Humphrey your tour in Mombasa Old Town
Amazing! We were looking for a very informative tour and Humphrey hit the mark! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Fort Jesus and Old Town. I absolutely enjoyed his way of narrating the story. Very flexible, it qas a very hot / humid day so we did part of the tour on tuk tuk.
He takes really good photos also! Just overall very nice, very kind person! 10 out of 10. If you are in Mombasa, be sure to contact him. He also helped us with contact for further parts of our trip 👌👌

BEST EXPERIENCE
One of my best experiences was visiting Mombasa with my friends. We enjoyed the beautiful beaches, swam in the Indian Ocean, and tasted delicious Swahili food. We also visited Fort Jesus and explored the Old Town, where we learned about Mombasa's rich history. The trip was full of fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. It brought us closer as friends and made me appreciate the beauty of Kenya's coast.

Good history lesson on Ft Jesus and Old Town Mombasa
We intended to be self-guided but we were introduced to Humphrey and we were glad we did. Learned some things that were not on the interpretive signs.

Humphrey has a vast knowledge of the local history and being a local is able to give you a really detailed informatiin about smallest curiosities found along the way. Maximum respect and endless thanks!

Very informative!
Humphrey was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history of Fort Jesus and Mombasa as a whole. I would highly recommend if you're interested in history and historical sites to book this experience and ask for Humphrey. The spice market could be hectic but they had excellent products and explained the use of each product we sampled. The elephant tusks were not exciting to us and we could have gone without seeing it (especially with kids asking for money) but if you like photo finishes then the last location might be your scene.

Daryl and Anne’s walking tour of old town Mombasa and Fort Jesus
We took an afternoon Walking Tour through Old Town Mombasa and Fort Jesus led by Humphrey (Humphrey Ndungu Tours). It was an extremely pleasant and informative tour. He is very knowledgeable about Mombasa history and Fort Jesus history. He gladly accommodated our interest in spending additional time in the spice market and helped in negotiating purchases from vendors. He is an enthusiastic guide who clearly wants his clients to enjoy their tour. And at the end of the tour he recommended a very nice restaurant on the water where we could see the sunset and arranged our transportation to it and back to our hotel. We highly recommend Humphrey’s tours!

Great walking tour and guide
Humphrey gave excellent communication prior to the tour, and was very kindly flexible with timings for me. The tour was very informative and Humphrey clearly knows so much about all the history! I feel like in a fairly short time I was able to learn a lot about Mombasa and see many things.

Private walking tour in Mombasa
I had a great time exploring old town Mombasa with Antony. I booked this experience the day before arriving to beat my jet lag and get a lay of the city. I had originally planned to meet with Humphrey, but he was sick so instead of cancelling, he arranged for another experienced tour guide, Antoni, to meet me for my tour. I really appreciated that level of care. Antoni was insanely knowledgeable about the history of Mombasa. We toured Fort Jesus together, then saw historical sites in the old city, walked through the busy streets of new Mombasa to arrive at the spice and vegetable market, traveled to a Hindu temple, and then Antony arranged for us to end our walking tour back at my hotel. It was a great day, and I learned so much. What I really appreciated was Antony’s storytelling, connecting the history of Mombasa to current events. As a solo traveling woman, I felt safe the entire journey. Thank you so much for hosting me, Humphrey and Antony!
