Female guided walking tour - Kampala - Thank you to Fridaus for showing me around the bustling city of Kampala. She made me feel welcome and safe. I had a few things I wanted to buy and Fridaus was able to fit those stops in. The tour was flexible as I needed to finish early and she kindly walked me back to my hotel. Would definitely recommend 🙂

An excellent morning - I'm a solo traveler here in Kampala for a few days and wanted to explore the city. This was the PERFECT tour for first-time visitors wanting a taste of everything. There was no way I could do this on my own. Fridaus explained various parts of Uganda's history and showed me the main sites. She was so accommodating and even stopped by a bank so I could get some cash for the markets. She was confident, funny, so smart and a delight to be around! Very grateful to have had her as my guide - please do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Wonderful guide on a tour that immerses you in the hustle of Kampala! - Not only was Fridaus excellent at showing us around Kampala, but she was a wealth of knowledge! She knew the answers to any question we had and gave us the history of each spot we visited. She kept us safe, happy and informed through every step of the journey! Would definitely recommend Fridaus and this tour if you want to experience the culture of Kampala.

Chaos but amazing! - Fridaus deftly maneuvered our group through very crowded streets and made us feel comfortable and safe. She was a gifted story teller who shared openly with us and spoke in ways we could understand. This tour was a very big day but not one that we regret. It was the greatest way to learn about a dynamic city and people. Thank you!
