Shopping Tour begint met een bezoek aan de African Heritage Gallery, gelegen op het terrein van Carnivore. Binnenin viert de African Trader Gallery het textiel, de sculptuur en het unieke handwerk uit Afrika.
Onze volgende winkelstop is in Utamaduni Craft Centre, waar een enorme verscheidenheid aan Afrikaanse curiosa wordt verkocht, allemaal onder één dak. Producten omvatten Afrikaanse curiosa, Afrikaanse maskers, Afrikaanse tapijten, Afrikaanse meubels, ebbenhouten meubels, Afrikaanse antiek, Afrikaanse sieraden, Afrikaanse poppen, Safari-kleding, Kikoy, Sarong, kralen en nog veel meer!
De volgende stop is Kazuri Beads Factory (Mbagathi Ridge, Karen): - Kazuri Bead Factory bevindt zich op Mbagathi Ridge, Karen - op een steenworp afstand van het Karen Blixen Museum in Karen. Kazuri betekent ‘klein en mooi’ in Swahili en maakt prachtige handgemaakte keramische kralen, sieraden en aardewerk.
De volgende stop is Nairobi City Market (Muindi Mbingu Street): onderhandelen is een sport bij de kraampjes verspreid over de City Market. Dit uitgestrekte complex, oorspronkelijk een vliegtuighangar, biedt curiosa en andere souvenirs evenals voedselverkopers.
Als het op de marktdag is, ga dan naar Masai Markets; Masai-markten in Nairobi zijn gestart door Masai-vrouwen die rechtstreeks aan bezoekers wilden verkopen. Masai-markten zijn in de loop der jaren tot bloei gekomen. Voor een prachtige selectie van kunst en kunstnijverheid, houtsnijwerk en kralenwerk, kun je niet fout gaan op de Nairobi Masai Markten. Breng je vervolgens terug naar je hotel

Stephen was my tour guide for the day. He was patient and even though I was traveling solo I never felt rushed not one time. Stephen was pleasant, friendly and professional.
Great guide told us when to bargain. Had a great day. Wellington was our guide he was waiting for us We never had to wait. Great communication. Great deals at shops. Thx. Tom & Tami B
I canceled this trip because I was in Zanzibar about a week ago then confirmed a couple of days ago because I was not in Kenya. I don’t have an opinion just don’t want to get changed for it. Thanks! Deborah Bryon
AWFUL! Nothing as advertised. This is not a tour. If you're looking for a guide to help you with cultural shopping, look elsewhere. As soon as we started driving, the driver/guide started asking us intrusive questions about our jobs and salaries, then pushing us to book him for an airport ride. The tour advertised 8 hours ($90 per person), but the driver insisted on committing to only 4 hours. When we pressed him that we paid for a full day, we discovered that he double booked himself to drive someone else to the airport. From then, he started to rush us and weasel his way out of the commitment. He only drove us to multiple locations where he sat chatting and having coffee with the staff in those places. He did not help us at all with understanding the culture, communicating with the vendors, showing us around, or bargaining for a fair price, even though we explicitly asked for all of these things at the beginning of the "tour". He left us on our own the whole time, until the 4 hours were over and he pressured us to cut the tour short. We insisted that we get another driver to continue the tour for the amount that we paid for. During the remainder of the booking, the other driver was not with us at all, so we had to carry heavy bags the whole time instead of being able to put them in the car. Also, we only had the phone number of the new driver who we have never seen before so we couldn't recognize him if we saw him. When we demanded that someone be present with us, he didn't take it seriously and started cracking jokes about it. We also asked for specific stops before we started the tour and he agreed to it, then he wanted to back out so we pressed him to hold his end of the agreement and take us there. Honestly, this all could've been done using an uber to go to the Utamaduni Craft Centre (where we saw almost everything that was in the other stops and more) and the kuzuri bead factory and any other mall. This has been a total waste of time and money on top of being a very distressing experience. STAY AWAY!
Stephen was amazing!! We went to beautiful galleries with great fixed prices. Best lunch/meal in 10 days, he knew where to go. Ask for Stephen !!❤️❤️
We had one day in Nairobi and booked this tour- it was efficient and just what we wanted to source a few local finds. Stephen was fantastic/ prompt/knowledgeable and took us to the main stops in the Karen area which was beautiful. I suggest making your purchases at the Utamaduni Artisans of Africa market- you don’t have to haggle and the prices are fair and the goods are really beautiful. All in all a great day! Ask for Stephen!
We acknowledge your review with joy Meesh Martin, noting that we managed to meet your need for the best market and value for your money. We look forward to serving you again in the future.
Highly recommended for a great tour and because they followed COVID19 safety standards. Our driver Stephen picked us up promptly and on time from our hotel. He showed us his COVID19 vaccination certificate proving full vaccination of two doses, wore a surgical mask the entire time and consistently offered hand sanitizer. We continued to tour several different cultural shopping centers and he tailored our tour to fit our needs. He was very respectful, friendly, knowledgeable about the area and helped us identify good quality souvenirs. Furthermore he helped us when some of the vendors would haggle or if we needed interpretation. Additionally, the tour allowed the opportunity to stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Lastly, the tour company was very responsive with emails and had great customer service. We highly recommend this tour company and want to thank Stephen for a fantastic tour.
