It was great. We felt very safe and the guides were very nice. It is a great way to learn a lot about Kampala in just one day! The guides forgot to give us a rolex and soda, but when we told the company, the rolex and soda were delivered to our hotel the day after. What a great service!!
We’re delighted to hear that you felt safe and well taken care of throughout your experience in Kampala with our professional guides. We also appreciate you bringing the missing rolex and soda to our attention. While we always aim to get everything right the first time, we’re glad we could deliver them to your hotel and turn the situation around. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we’re happy we could make it right. Thank you.
Nera Ratib was a fantastic, informative and respectful guide, and a very safe driver. We packed so much in but all was well timed. Id never have been able to see so much alone. The Gaddafi mosque, Bahai temple, the Royal Palace where we even spotted the king, Idi Amin's harrowing torture chambers, the only man made lake, market places and the organised chaos taxi park. He even helped me buy an extra bag to take some things home.
It was a solo tour. The guide was on time and very knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture... He answered all my questions, and it was a good overall experience. I would recommend it for a quick tour of the important sites in the city.
I did this tour as a solo female traveler; I felt safe the whole time and my guide really took the time to hand out interesting facts along the way. Also, he was flexible to my own wishes regarding places to visit. I warmly recommend this company! 🌟
Thank you Sofia for this wonderful review and we are so glad that you enjoyed the excursion.

I recently took the Boda Boda tour through Kampala, and it was an incredibly interesting experience. The tour provided a unique and exciting way to explore the city. The guides were very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions about the various sites we visited, and even went beyond, offering insights into other aspects of the city and culture. It was an educational and fun adventure, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience Kampala in a more interactive and local way.
We are happy you had an interesting experience and learned a lot about Kampala. Thank you Niels for booking with us.
He was flexible enough to stop when I wanted to take a picture. I enjoyed it because I was able to see the city efficiently and I was able to enjoy a Rolex at the market.
楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。どうもありがとう
Super interesting, good range of locations and Yusuf was an excellent driver, it felt as safe as possible in the Kampala traffic. (Unlike typical Boda Boda’s he brought a crash helmet for the passenger too) He was also knowledgeable, constantly explaining things and giving context. The ‘Rolex’ was a tasty snack too. Locations ranged from the crazy downtown, to the tranquil Baha’i temple to the somber torture chambers. Highly recommended.
Thanks, Gary for this wonderful review. We are glad you enjoyed your experience with Yusuf.
We booked this tour as a last minute activity, it left us with a new experience and we discovered a new Kampala with two knowledgeable guys. We enjoyed visits to the markets and tried delicious Rolex and jackfruit, we wouldn’t do it on our own. It was a pleasure to spend the day with such nice local guides, thank you!
We are happy that you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with our professional riders. Thank you for booking with us.
We had a fantastic time! Our guides were very professional and showed us all the good places. I especially enjoyed the Rolex which was very delicious. It’s a great way to experience the city
