Great insights and local colour - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour and lunch with Michael. He took us to key locations in the city, all the while ensuring we were well looked after and incredibly well informed. He is a young man with great social and historical insight and we really appreciated spending time with him and learning about Nairobi’s history and contemporary outlook. The visit to the KICC and bus journey were high points. Thoroughly recommended.

Super happy to have chosen Michael as my guide. - I would highly recommend requesting Michael for a city tour. I booked last minute I had just one day in Nairobi. The city tour was excellent well organised and exceptionally informative. Michael has a wealth of information about Nairobi but it is his passion for historical knowledge and events that he shares with the group members that captivates you. We visited the convention centre with panoramic views from the top Michael took the opportunity to explain the different sections of the city. The memorial museum was very moving. And the local bus ride quite an experience. All highlights were amazing and brought to life by this excellent tour leader. Michael is an exceptional guide and a valuable asset to the company.

Exceptional Guide, Unforgettable Experience - We’ve been fortunate to go on many tours across various destinations, but Michael truly stood out as one of the best guides we've ever had. His warmth, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for sharing the beauty and culture of Kenya made this experience unforgettable. Thanks to him, we left with a rich understanding of the country, its people, and its traditions. As first-time visitors to Kenya, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Michael is an exceptional guide and a valuable asset to the company. I would highly recommend requesting Michael for any tour you are interested in booking.

Nairobi City Day Tour - I had an amazing whirlwind tour of Nairobi with Michael. He shared with me some of the highlights of this fascinating city. He guided me through the streets of this hectic city, making sure I was safe while sharing his vast knowledge. From the breathtaking view atop the convention centre to the frenetic pace aboard a local bus to the memorial to the victims of the embassy bombing and lunch in a local restaurant in a short few hours I learned alot. Thank you, Michael for sharing your city with me.

Awesome Nairobi City Tour - As first time travellers from Australia, navigating Kenya on our own initially felt a little daunting but our entire experience was transformed thanks to Michael. From the moment we met him, he was more than a guide, it felt like we had gained a trusted friend in Kenya. His approach to touring was the perfect balance of insightful information, local knowledge, and lighthearted fun. Being born and raised in Kenya, Michael brought an authenticity to our journey that we’ll never forget. Every question we had was met with thoughtful and detailed answers, and his knowledge added so much depth to every place we visited. Beyond that, he genuinely looked out for us ensuring we were safe, well-informed, and that we approached every interaction with the respect it deserved. What made it even more special was how Michael customised our tour. He listened to our ideas and seamlessly blended a few options together to create an itinerary that truly reflected how we wanted to spend our time. He made sure not a minute was wasted, every experience felt full, exciting, and meaningful. The only downside? Having to say goodbye when our Intrepid tour to Tanzania began, and Michael wasn’t continuing on the bus with us. There’s still so much more we’d love to see and do in Kenya and when we return, Michael will be the first person we call. Thank you Michael! Your tour slaps different ;)

Great tour to see central Nairobi in a fun and safe way. - The tour was very good. The guide was knowledgeable, there were different and interesting stops and nothing felt rushed. I felt safe, even experienced a short trip on a local bus (which I wouldn't do on my own). Even though I was the only one in the tour, it still went ahead.
