An Insider's Look at History, Culture, and Religion in Uganda - My husband and I had a fantastic time on this tour! We really appreciated being able to explore different aspects of religion in Uganda, as well as the history. We were extremely moved by our visit to Kasubi Tombs. Twaha was an excellent guide and we truly enjoyed every moment of this tour! Highly recommend!

Multisensory, super-fun walking tour with an expert guide - It was a kaleidoscopic experience, combining national monumemts; threading through dripping walkways in the March rain in Nalasero and Owino markets; climbing up to the top balcony of the minaret of the Qaddafi mosque and observing the royal wives in the Bugnadan kings’ compound and tomb complex.
Throughout Twaha was my eloquent, informed guide.

Amazing tour of Kampala with Twaha - Our tour with Twaha as a guide was outstanding. Twaha was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and religion of Uganda. He took us to the National mosque, the markets and to other monuments. He patiently answered all our questions and was always very kind, calm, and respectful. He also made sure that we were safe in the streets and in the market place. We loved the tour and highly recommend it to any travelers!

Awesome cultural tour of Kampala! It’s a “must do!” - The cultural tour with Twaha was fantastic! I saw so many interesting things, and I learned a ton about Uganda and Kampala! I highly recommend it. Twaha was very patient and protective of our safety. He was a pro at navigating the markets and the streets both during the walking portion and the driving part. It exceeded my expectations, to be sure.
