My experience was wholesome.

Ezekiel is an exceptional tour guide. I specifically enjoyed the lecture on the history of Nairobi. He's quite the teacher, Ezekiel. My visit to the top of the Jomo Kenyata International Conference centre was another such experience. To see the city from that view is breathtaking. My experience with Ezekiel was wholesome.

Historical tour of Nairobi

Had a great time exploring Nairobi with Tim despite the rain. He made Kenya’s history easy to follow and super interesting, tying it into everyday culture. Learned a lot about local traditions and people. It felt relaxed, not like a lecture. Definitely recommend if you want something more meaningful than a typical tour.

Ezikel was extremely knowledgeable and knew the history of Nairobi very well. The tour was about three hours but it flew by with learning the history of the city. The view from the rooftop is beautiful and well worth it.
