Great tour for solo traveler - As a solo traveler this was a very interesting way to see parts of the city safely. The guide Tim had great knowledge about the city, and could answer all my questions, even the questions that might be a little difficult in regards to politics. He was flexible with what the shopping part would contain according to my interests, and let me spend all the time I needed. He also offered to assist with prices if I needed, and there was no shopping pressure (it was ok if I only wanted to look). Patient guide.

Souvenir Shopping in Nairobi - This was a wonderful way to spend my last hours in Nairobi. Tim, the driver/guide was prompt, friendly and professional. I enjoyed shopping at the different spots, especially KOBE Tough where I learned about the by-hand bead-making process from start to finish. Overall, there was plenty of time and a great selection of cultural items at each stop. Tim even dropped me off at the airport afterwards. I'm glad I took this tour and highly recommend it!

Great experience ! - My driver Tim was great: well informed, not pushy, knew a lot about Kenya and Nairobi. He also tailored the afternoon to what I wanted to do. We went to a big souvenir shop, and NGO that works with women to produce beads and leather articles, and the Masai Market. Our route, he was great telling me interesting anecdotes. Warning: the bargaining in the shops is your problem, not the driver´s problem, so buyer´s beware.
