Changed my perspective on Kampala -- so glad I did this tour - I was reluctant to book this tour, as Kampala didn't initially strike me as a walkable city. But I am so glad that I went on this tour. I learned much about Uganda and it's capital, and now have a much deeper sense of place. My impressions of this lively city favorably shifted after this half day tour, and now I can't imagine visiting Kampala and not doing this walk about. And if you go, I hope you'll be as lucky as I to get Tajiri as your guide. She's delightful, friendly, and very knowledgeable. And she went above and beyond to help me coordinate transport and communicate with my hotel, and stayed with me until my transport arrived.

Great Experience - Taj was a great guide - very knowledgeable in the history of Kampala. It was a great experience to see how the locals shop and visit iconic places that I wouldn't have visited by myself.

Great experience! - I did the “walking tour Kampala with female guide” and was very lucky to have Tajirl as my guide! She is very professional and took more then enough time to tell me every story behind the place we where visiting, as for now I do understand a lot more about Kampala, so thank you Viator, and for sure thank you Tajirl!!
