A very interesting... - A very interesting afternoon visiting off the beaten path locations and learning more about the history, politics and food in Tanzania. Recommend this tour if you want to see the real Arusha and how the locals live.

Fascinating and informative experience. - Fascinating and informative experience with our wonderful guides Jackson and Given. Ate some delicious street food and were guided through streets, back alleys and small farming plots to get an idea of what everyday life is like for the locals. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. It was interesting to learn about the foundation and booking this tour is a great way to support local people.

Great trip to fill a few hours of your time - Given (my guide) was punctual and had excellent English. He was able to explain in great detail all the different points that we stopped. I tried cassava, fried banana, baobab sweets and could have also enjoyed chips mayai but had had that for lunch. Perfect way to fill a few hours and learn a little bit about Tanzanian culture. Thank you 🙏

An Incredible Look at Life in Arusha - This was such an insightful and incredible tour! I was looking to experience the authentic life in Arusha, beyond the typical tourist activities in the area, and this tour delivered exactly that! It was so informative and authentic, and it allowed me to step into places where no tourists typically go and learn so much about life in the community. I highly recommend booking this if you want to connect with locals and gain a deeper understanding of the real Arusha.

Terrific and educational experience - The walking tour is a fascinating look at off-the-beaten-track Arusha, beyond the tourist areas, with pleasant, knowledgeable and informative guides. It was one of the highlights of our two-week trip to Tanzania.

Arusha Up Close - My street food tour was excellent. It gave me an inside look at places and people the average tourist will probably not encounter. Jackson was a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide and took me to neighborhoods and streets that revealed the beauty as well as some of the challenges the locals face. He took me through areas where local farming was taking place and explained how it works for the local people and how they benefit. I was also treated to some street food that I enjoyed. But most of all the tour made me feel I got an up close experience of the city. Thank you Jackson.

Experience everyday life in Arusha. - Interesting tour to see places in Arusha that you would never see as a tourist. Here you can see daily life away from safari tours and climbing Kiloli. You help the foundation. Thank you for the tour.
