It was a great tour, it is a must do tour when visiting Kenya. The tour was very educational it would also be great for children.
We truly appreciate having your feedback review, we’re grateful you booked with us.
This experience was truly wonderful and gave me a great glimpse into the local culture. We visited several vibrant local markets, each with its own unique charm. It was fascinating to see the handmade jewelry and crafts so much creativity and tradition in every piece. One of the highlights was spending time with the Maasai people. We even got to dance with them, which was such a fun and memorable experience. It felt very authentic and special. The tour also included a visit to a very nice restaurant with great food, which was a perfect way to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. On top of that, the city tour was well-organized and gave a great overview of the area.

This tour was wonderful, Paul catered the tour to what I was interested in seeing/doing. He was very informed as to the history of the city and was able to point out all locations and spaces of significance along our drive and from the tower that overlooks the whole of Nairobi. We also visited the beading spot and some other souvenir locations as well as the US embassy memorial and museum. I even needed to find a place to purchase an adapter and Paul was amenable to that as well.
We’re very grateful you booked with us, we appreciate your tour feedback with Paul. Thanks for booking with us and recommending us.
