Great Tour

The city tour was great and the tour guide gets 5 stars. The only problem was needing more info on where to meet the guide in the park which was resolved quickly after contacting the tour company and no hotel pickup. I had to take an Uber to the park for the tour.

Discover Nairobi Like a Local

I I had an amazing walking tour in Nairobi with Ezekiel! We explored many different parts of the city that I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. Having a knowledgeable local guide made me feel safe and much more confident walking around. Ezekiel is incredibly friendly, kind, and easy to talk to. We chatted about everything—from Kenyan culture and history and he answered all of my questions with patience and enthusiasm. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a guided tour. If you’re visiting Nairobi and want an authentic local experience, I highly recommend taking a walking tour with Ezekiel. Thank you for making my first impression of Nairobi so memorable!

Thanks sharing wonderful feedback review with guide Ezekiel, we’re glad you had a wonderful experience, thanks for booking with us.

A good way to get a quick historical overview of Nairobi

Like so many others, our primary reason for visiting Kenya was to see the animals. However, after traveling for more than 24 hours (and 10 time zones), we knew we would want a rest and recovery day before climbing into a Land Cruiser for 2 weeks. This 3-4 hour, afternoon walking tour was a perfect way to ease into Kenya time and get a chance to see a bit of the capitol city. Ezequiel was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of information about the city, country, and culture. There is not a lot for tourists to see in Nairobi, but I feel we hit the highlights.

Operator response

Were greatful for sharing your review with guide Ezekiel. Glad you had a good tour experience.
