Our city tour through Arusha was an absolute highlight and is a clear recommendation for anyone who wants to get to know the city authentically. John passionately guided us to the most important sights of the city – from the African Art Gallery to the Peace and Independence Monument to the lively hubs of daily life. The view from the rooftops over the bustling activity of Arusha was particularly impressive. However, my personal highlight was the visit to the local market. There, Brian took the lead and impressed us with his vast knowledge. No matter what question we had – he could answer them competently and explained the culture, trade, and daily life of the people with great passion and patience. Throughout the entire tour, we felt safe and well taken care of at all times. John and Brian were incredibly friendly, open, and approachable. Thanks to them, we were able to dive deep into the life of the city and gather many impressions that an ordinary tourist would likely never experience. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience – we would do the tour again anytime!

My boyfriend and I had our city tour with John and Brian, who were both very friendly and commited to make our experience in Arusha unforgettable! We went to the local market, the African Art Gallery and many other interesting places that gave as a pretty good insight in Tanzanias local life. Overall I can recommend booking Tansalux Safari and especially those 2 men for a personal city tour, it’s definitely worth it!
Thank you, Nadine! We’re thrilled John and Brian made your Arusha city tour unforgettable. Your kind words mean a lot. Karibu tena for more Tanzanian adventures with Tanzalux Safaris!
