Tour in Kenya with Val

On Sunday, February 1, we had the fortune and gift of meeting Val Sims, guide of Heels and Valise Tours, a lovely, respectful, loving and undoubtedly knowledgeable woman; she showed us and taught us outstanding and historical facts of Kenya country and with past accuracy, advances and challenges of Nairobi ... Thank you, Val, for welcoming us to your country with such warmth, for sharing your story and for teaching us that travel is much more than knowing places, it is understanding the life, people and cultures that make every corner of the world unique. An experience that will be tattooed on our skin!!!

Fantastic experience completing the Nairobi Historical City Tour

This was certainly an excellent tour of Nairobi. From the booking to the actual end of the tour we had a very personal service. George, our guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and informative, along with being very proud of his city and was keen for us to experience as much as we could. Nothing was too much trouble and he even provided water and snacks on route! I contacted Heels and Valise Tours the night before our tour to ask if we could add to our booking by a further 2 adults - I had a swift response and they accommodated our request without any problems. I would highly recommend this this tour and company
