Must-Go tour with kind guides - I enjoyed with this half day tour with a driver, Stephen, and a guide, Ismael, both from Kibera community. They were so kind and friendly, and talked their own experience while walking around. It was great opportunity to see how people live and cope each other in Kidera slums. Many chances to talk to people there with good passion.
It’s a must-go tour to know about Kenya!
It seems like where you go depends on guide.
Better to go with sneakers, because you go up and down in Kibera.

Awesome driver! - I was picked up from my accommodations right on time, and off we went to Kibera. Francis Ngei was amazing at taking me the the location where I would be guided through the slum. He gave me a drive-by mini tour of his own pointing to important landmarks and facts about Kenya. I appreciated his friendly and caring conversation, and he's an excellent driver. If ever you're in town, Francis should definitely be your driver. The actual tour through Kibera Slums was a good experience as well. Definitely recommended!
