Nairobi City Tour
We saw things we could not have seen on our own. We appreciated the gulde's knowledge and flexibility. As this was a private tour, it was tailored to our needs - KICC and the Nairobi Gallery. The Nairobi Gallery is a little gem!

We agree — the Nairobi Gallery truly is a little gem! We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience.

I love Nairobi and the Beautiful People!
This tour was perfect for me! The rooftop view of the city from the KICC. The International museum and snake park had so much history and knowledge to learn.
Paul is an exceptional tour guide and really knows his way around driving and walking! I will be recommending him to all my friends traveling to Nairobi!

There's more than markets in Nairobi
We had an enjoyable day out with our guide, Paul. He took us to the key sites in Nairobi and tailored the itinerary to fit our interests. We appreciated visiting the Catholic Cathedral, Karen Blixen Museum and the Kazuri Bead factory. We would recommend Paul and this tour.

Nairobi City Tour
Too expensive. Have to pay entrance as well to the 3 places we visited.
Driver/ guide was quite good
Operator response
Hello Carmen,
Thank you very much for your feedback. The reason why we do not include the entrance fees in this tour is because for some guests may not always want to visit some of the sights and others will book this tour having visited some of the sites at a previous time and would prefer not to visit again. We therefore exclude the entrance fees so guests have an option of where they would like to visit during the tour.
Thank you once again for booking this tour with us and we look forward to being of service again in future.
Warm Regards
Roselyne

Great Nairobi Tour
Julius was an awesome guide. Prior to the tour, he spoke with us to find out our areas of interests so that he could give us the best experience possible. He was very knowledgeable of the city’s main landmarks and attractions, and was very strategic around the tour stops to account for high traffic times. I would recommend this tour.

The beginning of my love for Kenya
Awesome half-day experience in Nairobi, many thanks to super professional guide Julius, with whom I was so incredibly lucky and who turned my Saturday into a real adventure filled with places, events, facts and interesting stories about Nairobi, Kenya, culture, history, flora and fauna.
Everyone who travels a lot alone knows that you have to be very happy and then you will meet the right people who will truly open their country for you and will be able to give you a part of love for the place where they live. Julius is exactly the gift of the universe that was able to open Kenya to me and make me feel warm to this amazing country.
Unfortunately, my stay in Kenya was not a vacation and I had very little time for rest, walks, trips, but thanks to Julius my weekend was so eventful that I will never forget it and, of course, since I will return to Kenya, I now know with whom I will plan further trips. I recommend from the bottom of my heart and envy those who are just going to discover Kenya - do it together with Julius.
