ダルエスサラームシティツアー：タンザニアの文化を体験＆洞察

It was an amazing amazing tour. My tour guide Rubukwe was very knowledgeable and told me about everything in extreme detail. He was very warm and friendly! Anyone wanting to know Dar es Salaam firsthand should definitely choose this! Thank you so so much

We love to go into new cities and experience local life and walk among the people. This is exactly what we did on our Chug Chug Tour.Rukube Shine met us at our hotel with a drive and took us into the heart of Dar es Salaam and informed us of the histories of Tanzania and Zanzibar. He was very knowledgeable. We saw the cathedral, the Ferry Fish Market, the 300 acres market, rode in Bodo Bodas, so the local medicines and so much more. If you want to experience the real Dar es Salaam, this is the tour for you.

A well-timed and conducted tour. Our guide targeted his discussion to local history and culture as well as the history of the city and country. We got a nice cross-section of city life lived today as well as recent and long ago settlements. The whole tour was extremely thoughtful and interesting. I'm glad we went. Much more interesting than simply reading a guidebook. Thanks

Such an enriching experience. Mr. Rukube and his colleague were exceptionally kind and attentive throughout the tour. They asked whether there were any topics I’d like to explore in greater depth, which I truly appreciated. They provided a thorough and insightful overview of Tanzania’s lifestyle and history, covering all political, social, and economic dimensions. They answered all my questions with patience and genuine enthusiasm, and I particularly valued how openly they shared their own personal stories and backgrounds.

My city tour in Dar es Salaam with our guide, Rukube, and our driver, Vincent, was easily the most organized tour I have ever joined. There is no right or wrong, but many tours tend to be organised in a way that the explanation is given per site, so that the sequencing and inter-dependencies are sometimes missing. However, Rukube explained the context of Tanzania in a brilliant, structured, "block-by-block" manner. He walked us through the political history starting from the Oman Sultanate era to the German and British division of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, while first showing us a series of buildings that served as a govern body of colonisers. I was particularly impressed by his explanation of how the German settlers’ preference for the Swahili language over German actually helped unify the country’s many tribes under one shared culture. He also provided deep insights into the religious evolution of the country, from Islam and Christianity to the modern movement to revive original Tanzanian identity. ​Beyond the history, we saw the real-life pulse of the city at the fish market. Rukube’s perspective was incredibly wholesome; he emphasized how the market serves as a livelihood not just for the people, but also for the local birds and stray cats. Even though we only had one hour due to a short layover, I left feeling that my introduction to Tanzania was complete. Kudos to Rukube, his driver Vincent, and his wife and business partner, Neema, for running such a professional and high-quality business. If you want a deep, meaningful understanding of Dar in any amount of time, this is the team to book!

This tour is great for a quick view over the most important things in Dar Es Saalam. It was a great guide, that answered all of our questions, and was very knowledgeable about the city’s history. It was a great experience.

A great 2 hours of visiting some of the key parts of Dar Es Salaam that capture its day-to-day living heart of the people. My guide is extremely knowledgeable and delivered an interesting backdrop of the history of the origin of Tanzania, from tribal chiefs , atabic European transitions to present day.

Great city tour! Guide was incredibly informative and knowledgeable about Tanzania and Dar es Salaam history. Also an all around great person.

If you are looking for a historical and friendly tour guide Rukube should be your choice. He kept us safe, provided excellent guidance and although it was drizzling we were able to learn alot. Definitely book this!!

I apologize for not remembering our guide's name, but we took this tour a week ago. He was an excellent guide. Fluent English and a wealth of knowledge on the history and cultural aspects of Dar es Salaam. He was very efficient at walking where possible and using his driver between areas too far apart. He was also flexible with meeting us at our cruise ship shuttle stop.
