Fantastic Nairobi day trip for solo or group travellers - As a female solo traveller, I felt very comfortable and safe with the very hospitable Steven who expertly navigated Nairobi’s busy roads to provide me with an unforgettable day tour of the city! The museum was an amazing introduction to traditional Kenyan culture and history. I really enjoyed the 360 degrees views of Nairobi from the top of the Convention Centre where Steven explained the city’s layout and development. We then travelled through the slums to the outskirts of Nairobi to visit an enterprise established to empower and support Masai women who make beads from clay from Mt Nairobi. From here, I enjoyed a traditional Kenyan lunch (lots of vege and a type of beef stew with mashed potatoes- yummy!). This was followed by a tour of another enterprise that helps support Masai (woodworking). Steven expertly navigated the congested roads to safely deliver me back to my hotel. Highly recommend this tour and Steven as a guide.

It made us feel Safe and comfortable being here for the first time . Their patience and excellent customer service are appreciated. It was my husband, Rick and me on the tour.

Great day exploring Nairobi with George and Martin - Had a great day with George and Martin showing me Nairobi! The highlights were the National museum and the lunch at the local cuisine. Such an amazing day to experience the local culture. The view from KICC was great too. I really enjoyed the tour and George and Martin did a great job and made me feel very welcome to Nairobi! Spend at least 1.5-2h at the National Museum and less at the memorial.

Couldn't have asked for more - My nairobi private city tour was the absolute best. Starting with my driver being at my hotel waiting prior to scheduled pickup. The attention to detail, being very informed and knowledge of the city was all very impressive and made for the best experience. I highly recommend and would book with them again.
