A Walking Tour That Felt Like a Family Day Out - It was our first time in Uganda, and we wanted to do a walking tour. However, we were worried about our safety since we were a group of five girls. While checking the TripAdvisor website, we found a tour led by women guides. We were all happy and surprised to find a female guide in Kampala offering such tours. We booked the experience, and I encourage everyone to try this tour—I promise you won’t regret it and will cherish the experience. We visited a lot of places on the itinerary and took many photos. It felt like a family day out, and we left feeling very happy. Thank you to our guide, Sarah!

Culturally enriching experience - A culturally enriching experience that I would recommend. I was late and Sarah was understanding of it and we managed to see everything in a shorter amount of time as I had to rush to the airport. I enjoyed the tour and the delicious Rolex I got from the taxi park.
