Learn about Nairobi's and Kenya's past! - If you are interested in Nairobi's (and Kenya's) past, this is the tour for you! Ezekiel was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nairobi, so we managed to learn a lot in the few hours we spent with him. It was wonderful to be able to walk through parts of Nairobi and have Ezekiel point out to us the significance of various buildings and monuments, it certainly made everything so much more meaningful.

A necessary visit to discover Nairobi - Excellent visit with Tim who shared with me a lot of information about Nairobi and Kenya in general. It was extremely interesting to learn about the history of the country, the different cultures of the tribes but also the current situation of the country. I highly recommend this guided tour (which offers a very good value for money!)

Informative, recommend for history lovers - Informative, a great walk to get to know the history of Kenya. The walk ended at the top of the convention center, which had a panoramic view of the city. Good trip.

Ezekiel customized the... - Ezekiel customized the tour to our interests (i.e. didn’t take us to markets as we had no interest in shopping). Kept us safe and provided good advice for dealing with locals. Good knowledge of history and neighborhoods. Visiting the KICC rooftop is worthwhile, note payment by card only, no cash.

10/10 great experience. Would recommend to solo travelers as well - Great tour with Ezekiel and was able to get more of personalized tour as it was just me on the tour but overall cool experience. Great history of Kenya and I enjoyed the sights.

Ezekiel is phenomenal and a treasure of knowledge on all things Nairobi & Kenya in one complete package. - Ezekiel walked us through influences Nairobi and Kenya has experienced from British >Indian>Muslim cultures shaping so much of what you see today as you walk through several important landmarks of the capital city. He does a wonderful job of teaching you about the way Kenyans have evolved their country’s norms since the turn of the century, all things that go many levels deeper than you could ever discover from just a textbook.

Knowlegable Historical Tour of Niarobi. - The Tour itself was very informative and very interesting. The weather was cloudy but quite warm, so the 4 hours was not easy. We went to some really nice places and to some down and out places too. Beggars were a bit of an issue but our guide dealt with them for us. Would have liked a refreshment stop somewhere long the route as we got quite dehydrated but the guide remedied that as soon as we mentioned it. The only drawback was finding the guide in the park. We were propositioned by a chancer who led us away until our real guide intervened. A more accurate, precise location would have been better.

Good but needs work - I thought the experience was interesting, but I felt there was more that could've been done. More information and doing it while walking instead of standing still for a very long time at the start of the tour. The information shared was good, but I don't think the value for money was there
