Unique Historic Adventure! - Twaha was incredible! Very knowledgeable about Kampala and all of Uganda - he was able to answer any questions we had for him. This tour is also special because not only do you learn about the big historic moments in Uganda, but you learn about some of the little special things, such as the unique Ugandan way that public transportation happens. One thing I recommend - book your tour in the beginning of the day! Twaha is very flexible & is willing to spend as much time with you exploring Kampala as you like! Highly recommend this tour!

I would definitely recommend Twaha.

Early Morning Walking Tour - The tour was very informative! It includes the main tourist spots around Kampala city. Beginning with a walking tour but then extending to driving to other locations. My guide, Musa, was very helpful in both explaining things and assisting with videos.
The walk can be exhausting at times so prepare for that, especially in the evening, but it was a worthwhile experience to see Kampala as it is. It's worth paying to see instead of trying to uber everywhere by yourself, which was my first plan.
I definitely recommend.

Twaha is the best in Uganda! - Me and a group of 10 others did a 10 day roadtrip/safari/gorilla and chimp trek of Uganda with Twaha, Shafik Tompkins, and Andrew. This was the best experience ever! These guys kept us safe, got us so close to all the animals, and were so organized and pleasant and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking a tour with these guys and letting them plan your trip to Uganda! 6 out of 5 stars! Love these guys and Twaha is the best!

An Insider's Look at History, Culture, and Religion in Uganda - My husband and I had a fantastic time on this tour! We really appreciated being able to explore different aspects of religion in Uganda, as well as the history. We were extremely moved by our visit to Kasubi Tombs. Twaha was an excellent guide and we truly enjoyed every moment of this tour! Highly recommend!

Multisensory, super-fun walking tour with an expert guide - It was a kaleidoscopic experience, combining national monumemts; threading through dripping walkways in the March rain in Nalasero and Owino markets; climbing up to the top balcony of the minaret of the Qaddafi mosque and observing the royal wives in the Bugnadan kings’ compound and tomb complex.
Throughout Twaha was my eloquent, informed guide.
