A great experience - Allows you to see a side of Nairobi you wouldn’t be able to otherwise, with friendly guides who really know the streets. It was a great experience, an exposure to a harsh reality, and I feel I understand this place a little bit more. Definitely one of the more special activities for foreigners in Nairobi.

Must do in Nairobi - Wonderful, insightful tour into the trials faced by young people living on Nairobi's Street. My guide Tsunami was informative and I felt very comfortable with him throughout the chaotic streets. A shared meal at the end was a highlight, he even waited for me to get into an Uber and took note of the number plate before I departed.

An Inspiring Walk Through Nairobi with Morgan - This was such an unforgettable walking tour through Nairobi. Morgan shared his moving life story with honesty and humor, giving us a real glimpse into what it was like growing up on the streets. He took us through parts of the city we would never have explored on our own, always making sure we felt safe. It was both inspiring and educational! Highly recommend!

Can’t miss experience in Nairobi - The most incredible way to spend an afternoon in Nairobi. We saw parts of the city that tourists wouldn’t usually tour and it was fun, informative and eye opening. Typhoon, Lasty and Priest did such a wonderful job of teaching us about how they grew up and showing us how some people in the city live. Highly recommended if you are looking for a city tour, this is one not to be missed.

Life as a Nairobi street kid - If you only do one walking tour in Nairobi, make it this one. Morgan and his colleagues Tsunami, Cheddar Cheese and friends, gave us an honest insight into the challenges of life as a street kid in Nairobi. We went into parts of Nairobi that are often avoided by visitors and all times, they ensured we were safe. You have to admire their determination to turn their lives around and their optimism and focus on the future. An amazing group of guys.

Sunami’s story - I wasen’t sure at first what this tour would be like, but after a few minutes Sunami told us his storey of growing up on the streets.
The struggles he endured to make ends meet, whilst trying to help his mother and siblings survive were a real eye opener for my wife and I.
He has now managed to turn his live around gradually and now has a home in the slums to lay his head without fear.
The group of friends he has now with Nai Nani are inspiring, and there work to help more children off the streets is to be encouraged to help this charity continue with it’s great work.

Special experience - It was such a unique experience to see a part of the city not usually accessible to tourists and learn about the local culture and our guide's personal stories. It was more like walking around with our new friend ls Quick and Moses, than a guided tour!

Warm and friendly - A truly warm welcome! Even though I don’t understand English very well, Morgan took the time to explain everything patiently. His stories are captivating, and I immediately felt safe and comfortable. The experience really gives you the feeling of being part of the local community. Simply amazing!
