Amazing, fun, informative, 10/10! - My wife and I had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide Anthony was super knowledgeable and friendly, as well as our driver who expertly navigated the hectic Mombasa traffic. We learned so much about the history of Mombasa and it's people as well as getting to try all sorts of local treats. I would highly recommend this private tour to anybody visiting the area whether it's your first time there or a regular vacation spot. You are guaranteed to see and learn something new on this fantastic tour catered to your individual needs.

A day in Mombasa - Athumani and Anthony were excellent, personalized the tour for me. I also learned a couple Swahili phrases. Athumani was on time to pick me up from my hotel, was very professional, yet friendly. I had fun, learned a lot, picked up some Swahili and souvenirs as well. Anthony was a patient and thorough teacher and a great photographer. Thank you for a great time in Mombasa, I’ll be back with my family.

a day trip to Mombasa - I did a day trip to Mombasa
they came to pick me up in Diani beach and drop me off in the evening.
The tour guide (Alfred)was very good, acknowledged of mombasa history city .
I am going to remember the visit to the wood market and the afternoon at Haller Park.
The driver(Alex) is a good driver and kind of him to drive back and bring the souvenirs that I left in the vehicle to the hotel.
