Great way to visit Kampala with a local

Excellent experience! The guide, Marcus, really knows his way around Kampala. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and I got a really good taste of Ugandan's life and welcoming spirit. I totally recommend this experience, especially if you are new to Kampala or if you are going to spend just a few days and want to visit the most interesting bits of the city.
