Itinerary
After a brief introductory meeting with your local guide, head off to explore Nairobi! Walking through the streets of Nairobi and travelling by public transport provides plenty of opportunity to mingle with the locals as they go about their daily lives, making this a pretty solid local experience in our books. Your Nairobi walking tour will kick off with a stroll through Uhuru Park, right in the heart of the city, before wandering past the parliament buildings and the mausoleum of the first president of Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
This Nairobi tour continues with a look at the Kenyatta Conference Centre.
August 7th Memorial Park, which was built to commemorate the bombing of the US Embassy. We'll also give you the opportunity to visit the Kenya National Archives and various other sites within the city centre, based on your interests and our route. Another key local experience is food, so it's no surprise that this Nairobi city tour includes the opportunity to sample local cuisine at lunch at a local restaurant. Eat like a local, chat with locals, see Nairobi like a local...soon you'll pretty much BE a local! (well, not quite, but you know what we're getting at...)

We had a fabulous day with Michael(foundly nicknamed Mick 🤣). He was so informative, positive and showed us everything we wanted to see and more! We booked a 2nd tour with him the next day and; again has a fabulous time. Highly recommend Michael! Thanks so much for your time 🌟🫶🏾🎉
Michael took exceptional care of our group of 16 travelers! We got an amazing and detailed overview of Nairobi, visited multiple sights and museums - we did way more in a half day than we would have accomplished in a full day on our own. Michael is incredibly passionate and caring, the best guide you could have!
The tour was about five hours, yet well-paced and balanced i.e. we covered a lot, but it didn't feeled rushed or tiring. Michael is super street smart, so I felt free to enjoy the vibe. He also has a lot of stories about everyday life in Kenya, which set me up well for the rest of my trip :)
Amazing walking tour with Michael. Would highly recommend
Michael gave us a great day out in Nairobi. Told him what we were interested in and what to leave out. He is very charismatic and we had great craic engaging with the locals we met along the way. We felt totally safe and he was very attentive to our needs. You are in good hands with Michael.
Michael was a great guide his passion and knowledge of the city shined through He was attentive and continually watched over us through the diversity and chaos of this vibrant city. He tailored the stops to fit the groups wishes and took us to an amazing Somali restaurant for lunch - included. I would strongly recommend this tour to any one travelling alone and wanting a safe way to experience the real Nairobi. Thanks Michael for a great day 😊
The tour was amazing! A real and in-depth tour of Nairobi, it was much better than I expected! Great guide! The best part was the local bus, I loved it!
We had a great Nairobi City Tour booked directly with Intrepids with Michael as our guide. We would highly recommend the tour and in particular Michael as an amazing, knowledgeable and generally great guide with a great sense of huomour. Even though we have lived in Nairobi we still learned a lot. Thumps up!
Booked with Intrepid. Our guide Michael was really great and gave us a great introduction to the country and the city. We honestly had one of the best days ever and are so greatful. Michael is a really charismatic and lovely man
The combination of city tour including local bus ride and visit to the Giraffe Centre in the afternoon was a really great way to explore Nairobi in one day. All thanks to Michael who made this day such a great experience.
