This was an excellent overview of the city with many interesting highlights, both historical and cultural. - My guide, Faith, was very pleasant and charming, and most knowledgeable about the many areas we saw. She gave me choices about what to visit, and she was very flexible in planning our schedule. She was also an excellent driver, which is essential for moving through the city.

Great Day of Cultural Experiences in Nairobi - We are very pleased with the tour in terms of the level of professionalism of the tour guide (Douglas)! He was very knowledgeable and shared valuable information to add context to each visit in the tour! These was an adjustment made to the last planned item of the tour that worked out great. We visited the Karen Blixen museum instead and it was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
