Great introduction the city of Nairobi - Tim took me round some really interesting places, he was extremely knowledgeable, and was patient with all my questions. Enjoyed my day immensely. The three stage tour (CBD, museum, Bomas) worked well.

Got the most out of Nairobi in a day thanks to Moses! - While we were only in Nairobi for one full day (part of a longer trip), Moses helped us make the most of it by showing us around the National Museum, the KICC, and Bomas of Kenya. He was more than willing to assist us when the tour group we were with made a hotel change and we needed to be dropped off at a different location than where we started. He was super passionate and knowledgeable about Kenyan culture and history. It felt like we could ask him anything about Kenya and he would have an informative response. We joked around a lot and he even asked us questions about our home country (Canada). Felt like we were with a friend rather than a tour guide. Would be happy to do another trip with Moses again when back in Kenya. 5/5 experience!

Best Walking Tour Ever with Moses - Moses our tour guide was very knowledgeable not only on the historical past and parts of Kenya but the cultural evolution of Kenyans as well. If you like walking well.... You will walk a moderate distance. Comfortable shoes and water is a must. Nonetheless when you book your tour ask for Moses! He will deliver you to the promise land😁

Visit to Nairobi National Park - Had a half day and went to Nairobi National Park with Alex. I had limited time in Nairobi before starting a tour to the Serengeti. Alex suggested we visit the park and it was a perfect start before the beginning of my tour. Alex is very knowledgeable about the animals and Kenya in general. I had a day with another tour guide and I would say Alex was more informative about life in Nairobi and Kenya. He made sure that I was able to get the most of my experience in a short period of time. It was fun driving through the park and looking for game. I was able to get some greats pics and close ups shots. It prepared me for my trip to the Serengeti. I was able to see 3 out of the BIG 5 animals. Thank you Alex!

A great tour - We had an amazing tour with Mwose. We toured uptown Nairobi and learned about the cultural history of the city and country Then off to the museum and Bomas. Mwose was knowledgeable, professional and fun. He provided interesting context all along the way and ended with interesting conversation about cultural changes in Kenya how we can understand them even through our own cultural lens. We had an amazing time
