Wonderful walking tour of the city with Tim. I highly recommend his guide services. He is insightful and personable and was helpful in getting me to more Nairobi experiences that I wanted to have. It was exactly the kind of tour I wanted.
Thank you so much Todd for booking with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed this tour. We appreciate for sharing your review.
The guide started with a good historical perspective of Kenya and the founding of Nairobi. We then walked throughout the city, hitting all of the places in the listing. We culminated the tour at the rooftop of the convention center, where we could look out over the entire city. Afterwards, the guide took us across the street to view the Catholic cathedral at our request. It was a splendid tour!

My family and I enjoyed the walking tour of Nairobi. Tim, our guide is knowledgeable enough and answered all our questions. The view from the top of the convention centre was epic and the weather was perfect for us. We really enjoyed the whole experience and I recommend it to anyone interested.
Thank you Faolin and your family for booking with us. We enjoyed our time together during the tour.
My guide was prompt in time as I met him at the pick up point. He gave a well detailed history of the country before we even began officially. We shared stories, I even forgot it was a walking tour. Quite a unique experience I haven't experienced before. I recommend this tour to everyone who's in Nairobi city.
Thank you Tony for your review. We appreciate booking with us!
