Mombasa halvdags stadsrundtur

Arriving from our hotel in Nyali by taxi, we took among those who proposed in front of Fort Jesus, a Francophone guide who had the official badge, as recommended by the backpacker guide. We did well, because its price was modest (1500 Ksh), its explanations clear and it allowed us to understand everything about the history of the Fort as well as the main palaces and houses in the old town! We went to the spice market then back by tuk-tuk (very picturesque!!) to Fort Jesus. Thanks to Mohamed for his kindness and his enriching comments!! We highly recommend it!

We had an amazing city tour in Mombasa and can highly recommend it! The tour covered Fort Jesus, the Old Town, and the Spice Market, which gave us a great overview of the city’s history, culture, and everyday life. John was an excellent guide – very knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining. He explained everything in a clear and engaging way and was always happy to answer our questions. Thanks to him, the tour was not only informative but also a lot of fun. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city – definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

My tour guide was Godfrey, and WOW — what an experience! He was super punctual from the very start and instantly set the tone with his calm, friendly vibe. He’s so well-spoken and made every stop on the tour feel exciting and meaningful. Godfrey was beyond patient with all our shenanigans, and to top it all off, he turned out to be an amazing photographer — we left with the best pictures and even better memories! I’d 100% recommend this tour. It’s fantastic value for money, and Godfrey truly takes it to the next level!

A historic site full of amazing adventure especially the tunnel connecting to the ocean... those people were genius. The tour guides and the beauty of Mombasa town at night is amazing.

Full historical indeed and amazing experience.. Full of life best museum. Set up.. Artifacts well planned and secured. Oldtown and market experience very vibrant indeed. Very social community.

The tour operator was very flexible and the guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. We had a very good experience.

I had a good time. Learnt some history plus the tour guide who was a lady she was amazing. I learnt a lot during my visits. I will return soon.

The trip was booked but it rained. The fort has an exciting history as the guide was well inside. Much of the Fort has been renovated or is becoming it. There are a couple of souvenir shops in the area, and afterwards the guide visited the city where we visited some exciting markets and some kingdom good shops. Good trip.

Dennis from Afrika Explorers was very informative on the history of of the Fort Jesus. We walked around old town and he explained the history of the buildings and its cultural impact on the city. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, Godfrey, contacted us via whatsapp short after we made the booking and that way we managed to arrange our meeting point and timing. We went first to two Hindu temples, including the oldest in Mombasa. Unfortunately of so many house of worships in Mombasa, only those two are open for visitors. Godfrey diligently explained everything we need to know about the customs. From there he took us to a Park and the Elephant Tusks monument. While at Fort Jesus, Godfrey gave us lots of historical background and he showed us places that most tourists didn't go. We also learned how the Portuguese were kicked out by the Arabs and how the Arabs fortify the fort further. Finally, he took us to the old town and the spice market. All in all, a short but very insightful half day tour. Highly recommended.
