Fun City Tour - We were going to tour the city by ourselves before our safari with Vision, but we got a little overwhelmed so we booked this and were so thankful! Our contact, Shebbie, at Vision was able to book us in last minute which was very kind and helpful. He took great care of us our whole time in Tanzania. Above and beyond! Thomas, our guide, seemed to slide through the city as he showed us markets, the crowded bus station, and city sites. We saw things we would never find on our own. He knew everyone. So glad we did it!

Best Arusha Tour & Best guide, Shaban - Great tour of Arusha town! Make sure you ask for Shaban to be your guide if you want the best!! Shaban was very friendly, personable, fun, knowledgeable, & very flexible! He responded immediately to our inquiry & met with us the day before to introduce himself & go over the tour with us! He worked within our schedule and wants while taking us around Arusha! He showed us the different markets, clock tower, museums, including visiting the largest art gallery in Africa, Cultural Heritage Center, where they have everything from artists with ranging items for sell from a few dollars for souvenirs to thousands of dollars for paintings, sculptures, statues, etc. The maasai Curios and crafts, the market to barter for everything & anything! Shaban was an excellent guide, helping us to negotiate in getting the right price for the items buying !! Definitely, the highlight of the day was visiting Shanga gift & works next to Arusha Coffee lodge! An interactive artistic center, employing people / artists all with disabilities that create pieces, homeware, etc. like glass blowing, weaving, sewing, beading jewelry, tinga tinga painting, metal work, where you can actually sit side by side & do hands on learning to make pieces! All the workers were super friendly with huge smiles! Making a great contribution to the community! Afterwards, you can sit under the shade of a tree on the beautiful grounds & have a coffee drink, pastry, or lunch! I recommend booking a tour & make sure you ask for Shaban as your guide! Thanks again Shaban

Best experience - We had city tour with our guide Kelvin around Arusha city in different places one of them it was Arusha declaration museum and it is nice place to visit to understand the independent history of Tanzania. In the museum there are many photos especially of the leaders who fought for the independent as well we got a lot of explanation and everything we asked was answered properly! The building itself is quite unique with beautiful gardens and variety of tress surrounding the museum. Also we had a time to visit Cultural heritage centre, amazing artwork and very beautiful artefacts. Great place to visit for cultural activities and learn about the Tanzanite jewellery. The building itself it unique with amazing desing, within the building there are many shops and restaurants where you can have lunch or anything else that you want to have. It was so amazing to see beautiful painting of the animals! The place is good and more valuenable for cultural history! Thank you vision safari & tours, shabani and kelvin for making this city tour possible!
