Itinerary

Kenyatta International Conference Center
Admission included120 min

The walking tour starts by picking you from your Nairobi Hotel 9AM. The first stop will be The Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC), this is a 28-storey building located in Nairobi’s CBD (Central Business District) and is within walking distance of several five-star hotels. This is the best and only way to tour Nairobi in 5 minutes, literally! From the top of this building you will summarize your experience of the city and observe all that Nairobi has to offer with an eagle's eye view. The view from the rooftop, which historically served as a helipad, is one of the best of my beloved Nairobi. This 360-degree bird’s eye view of the city center is unrivaled. On a clear day you can spot some of the city’s green spaces like Uhuru Park, Central Park, City Park, Railways Golf Course and the Nairobi National Park. Do dress warmly; it gets rather windy up there, especially in the evenings.

60 min

Then take a walking tour and experience the unique atmosphere of Nairobi’s bustling city center. Visit Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Mausoleum, Parliament, Kenya National Archives, and the “Thorn Tree”- the first post office at Sarova Stanley hotel.

Nairobi was fun, thanks to the nice tour!

It was a great half a day tour of central Nairobi. I was greeted and taken on the walking tour by two very nice guides Sam and Ruben. We walked at a comfortable pace covering JK conference center, memorial park and masai market and many streets in between. Four hours just flew away with jokes, laughter, and lot of Nairobi stories. Not only were they gentlemen, they felt like friends from school. I couldn't have seen the city up so close with so much information in such short time without them. Great tour!

Amazing tour guide

We had probably the greatest experience, Stephen Mutuky was our driver/guide. Not only was he one of the best people we have ever met, but he is now our life long friend. Got us there safely, and went above and beyond to make our trip incredible. Cannot recommend this service enough. First time in Kenya, and can't wait to spend more time here after meeting Stephen. 10/10 tour.

Nairobi was a lovely city ❣️

It was Nairobi, the first time I had travelled alone, with my family worrying about me. I wanted to walk around the city, so I signed up for this tour, but I thought it would be a mix of people from many other countries, but it turned out to be a private tour by myself. My guide Stephen was a very kind and tasteful nice guy who taught me how nice Nairobi and the people here are in gentle English while sightseeing because I speak so little English. It was in a different order than the itinerary listed, but it conveyed the beauty and comfort of Nairobi. It was really nice to be able to get a glimpse of the lives of the locals, greet many people and show them places to see in a short time, and to be part of this tour. Nairobi is by no means a scary city but a really nice one with a safe guide! I want to tell them that.

Enjoyed our walk and our visit to the rooftop observatory and the American Embassy Memorial Garden. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and picked us up at the hotel on time. Highly recommended.

Great Experience

Excellent! Our guide, Mr. Stephen Mukutu, was very professional, attentive, and pleasant. We really enjoyed the city tour he gave us, both for what we saw and for his way of explaining and teaching us. Highly recommended!

Walking tour never boring

Very well balanced tour. Even my brother loving nature and disliking history enjoyed the tour, My compliments for Dennis he set up this tour. And do not forget to book his authentic Massaai village tour.

1/2 Day Nairobi City Tour

We did the 1/2 day tour of Nairobi City centre. We visited the Memorial Gardens, which was very interesting but a harrowing event in Nairobis history. Our guide Harrison then took us on a drive through the bustling markets of Nairobi before we were brought up to the top of the Kenyatta tower where Harrison pointed out all the sites of Nairobi. Very informative day & a way to see the city of Nairobi.

Fantastic Tour of Downtown Nairobi

It ended up just being Steven and I for this tour today. But, it was wonderful! Steven was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. All in all it was a wonderful tour! I highly recommend it!

Great Day Out Seeing All Of Nairobi

Had a wonderful day out with Kelvin as my tour guide. He picked me up from my hotel and took me straight to the giraffe sanctuary. We were the first ones there so I got to feed the giraffes by myself (normally it is crazy busy there). We then went for a tour round Nairobi where I got to see both the affluent side and poorer sides of the city, Kelvin even took the time to drive through one of the slums. Finally the next day I also booked a tour with him to go to Mount Longonot. He was the best and really helped me to get to the top. Most tour guides wouldn’t even come up the mountain with you, but Kelvin climbed the whole way and really took care of me! Overall I had an amazing experience and it was all thanks to Kelvin. He really took care of me and made sure I got to do everything I wanted! Would 100% recommend!

Operator response

Thank you Globe Trotting for giving us a chance to serve you. It's great to here that Kelvin took good care of you. We look forward to serving you again in the near future.
