Henry is very knowledgeable and nothing is too much. I would recommend this trip without hesitation and do the add on of the fishing village!

This walking tour is a great way to see the real Kampala, exploring local markets, monuments and street food. Henry is a very informative and helpful guide. Thank you!
The whole experience was outstanding, even though i was recovering from a stomach virus. Irene was a great guide... Knowledgeable and friendly.
The tour was good but way too expensive. The mosque, museum, and kasubi tombs entrance fees aren’t included and aren’t cheap, would have preferred to know these amounts ahead of time and pay them up front. Good tour, but too much money to recommend to a friend.
Thank you so much Patrick for taking the time to share your feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our tour Since Kasubi tombs entrance doubled to 20$ from 10$ last month we made it optional to visit. The museum and mosque entrance is 4$ and 7$ in respectively and we are going to show it in details for more transparency to our customers. We're grateful for customers like you because your review also helps us to continue improving our tours and providing the best possible experience for our customers. We take all feedback seriously and use it to make positive changes. Thanks again for your review and for helping us grow!

Thank you so much Tanna. Am glad you liked the full day walking tour with the fishing village . You are good hearted and continue loving God. See you in the near future 😉
I had an amazing day with Henry, we saw everything on the full day itinerary and more! He was very knowledgeable throughout and as a solo female traveller felt very safe in the madness of Kampala with him and his driver Derek. The sites were great, I experienced Taxi and boda boda (motorbike) rides and the fishing village was incredible. I recommend highly!
Thank you so much Heather. Glad you liked the tour more especially the fishing village. We hope to see you again in the future 😊
The tour was a great experience. It's the perfect way to get to know Kampala and learn some things about the city and the history of Uganda. Henry is a very nice guy and you can always ask him if you have any questions. Even after the tour was finished he showed me around some other places I wanted to see. So I can highly recommend doing the tour with him.
Thank you for booking with us . Can't wait to have you again. Enjoy your stay in uganda.
