Fascinating Kampala City Tour - Thanks so much to the outstanding driver and guide Nasser - who adeptly drove us in and around the Kampala to visit important historic sites of various points in Ugandan history- from the UNESCO world heritage site Kasubi tombs to the Kabaka/King’s (Bugandan) Palace (that also hosts Idi Amin’s torture chambers) to the Gaddafi mosque- beautiful in itself but also the climb up the 270 steps is rewarded with amazing views of Kampala from all sides. Each of the sites also provided guides who were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I came away from each site with a much better understanding of Uganda - and a strong desire to keep exploring. Thank you, Nasser

Best one day tour Uganda culture and history inEntebbe - The tour was very exciting and informative. All day long, Nasser and his assistant took us around the city and explained about the life of the people in different area. He also explained how Uganda people took their Independence. We also went to the famous taxi station where tons of taxi in the park. Then we navigated thru the markets with people carried different items in their head in the narrow pathway and of course with tons of people. Wow! What a sight to see especially if you come from more quiet area in your own town. Very dynamic and interesting. We then headed to the palace and the mosque. The building itself includes many story to tell. I guess one just have to be there to listen to the story. Finally we went to the tombs. Save the best for last… I can even feel the spirit surrounding me and all the respect respects for the Kings. The tombs is beautifully constructed. Overall this tour with Nasser and his assistant truly told us about the culture, the life of the people and explained the history of the palace, the mosque and the tombs. The team and the tour deserts a rating of 5. I almost forgot, he also quite funny as well, which brought all of us a good laugh and brought the smile on our faces even on a hot day! Btw

Very good tour who not only wants to see major attractions but also wants to understand what an African city is like - This tours gives one an overview of Kampala and encompasses museums, monuments, cultural attractions, temples, outdoor markets and different neighborhoods. The highlight of the trip was the king’s palace. The tour guides were very protective as we walked through the outdoor chaotic markets. We got a very good understanding of what an African city is like and what happens to donated clothing. Very much an eye opener from someone from one of the wealthier countries. The guides were helpful and answered all of our question. I recommend this tour for those who are curious about other cultures and wants to learn more about our world.

Best one day Kampala walking tour - I booked this walking tour for our group of 7 adults (friends and families). I worked with Nasser to customize the tour a little bit by adding a few more places to make it a full day tour. Nasser was the lead tour guide. He was very good and very easy to work with. He has good command of the English language and very solid knowledge of Kampala history and places. He was also very funny. In addition, he always made sure each of us was safe even in a busy/hectic market scenes. We ended up taking more times to do all of the places that I wanted to do for our group and he did not mind extra time at all (without extra change!). Overall it was a terrific one day tour on food with Nasser and his assistant.
