Excellent introduction to the people, history and culture of Kenya

I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the history and culture of Kenya. We found this very helpful in understanding the place, its people, cultural heritage, historical contributions and values that are important to the people of Kenya (conservation, creating opportunities for women and girls, ending FGM, battling unemployment, etc). The Kenyan National Museum hosts a very important collection, not to be missed. Be sure to allow a guide to escort you throughout the National Museum, snake park & Karen Blixen Museum. Guides are free, you just have to tip. Our tour guide Stephen was very professional and accommodating. We highly recommended this tour if you have an extra day in Nairobi.
