BEST GUIDE CITY TOUR - Antony is the best guide in the city. We had a problem with the Uber to the airport and he helped us solve it and was with us. He accompanied us on our shopping trips and explained to us in detail the history of the city. Thank you so much for everything

Fantastic tour guide - Amazing tour with a brilliant guide, Antony was both kind and very informative. He took care of our every need including making sure we were safe. His years of being a tour guide certainly pay off. He keeps safety in mind when exploring the bigger parts of the city and transiting by tuk tuk.

Must see tour - The tour was great! Its not just a talk about the landmarks. World history and culture relating to the area are discussed, to give a broad understanding about Mombassa and how it has changed many times over the years. Antony is friendly and professional.

Interesting and fun way to see the real Mombasa - Great way to learn about the history and diversity of Mombasa! Antony was very knowledgeable and provided some great facts about the city. He took the time to answer our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we made it to Diani. A good mix of walking and tuktuk rides suited for any fitness level. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to see the real Mombasa.
