We realy hat an excellent day, that was a perfect mix for us with all our requests fulfilled. Highlights in Arusha and waterfall visit
We throughly enjoyed our half day with Nelson and felt by the end of our tour we felt we had a good overview of Arusha. He was very knowledgeable, professional and delightful. If you are planning to be in Arusha check out a tour with Nelson. Ilene and Barbara
Great tour of Arusha town! Make sure you ask for Shaban to be your guide if you want the best!! Shaban was very flexible, working with our schedule and wants in taking us around Arusha! He showed us the different markets, clock tower, museums, including visiting the largest art gallery in Africa, Cultural Heritage Center, where they have everything from artists with ranging items for sell from a few dollars for souvenirs to thousands of dollars for paintings, sculptures, statues, etc. The maasai Curios and crafts, the market to barter for everything & anything! Shaban was an excellent guide, helping us to negotiate in getting the right price for the items buying !! Definitely, the highlight of the day was visiting Shanga gift & works next to Arusha Coffee lodge! An interactive artistic center, employing people / artists all with disabilities that create pieces, homeware, etc. like glass blowing, weaving, sewing, beading jewelry, tinga tinga painting, metal work, where you can actually sit side by side & do hands on learning to make pieces! All the workers were super friendly with huge smiles! Making a great contribution to the community! Afterwards, you can sit under the shade of a tree on the beautiful grounds & have a coffee drink, pastry, or lunch! I recommend booking a tour & make sure you ask for Shaban as your guide! Thanks again Shaban🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you so much for taking a time to write a review. We real appreciate and we welcome you for more tours next time. Thanks
We came to Arusha a day before heading out on Safari to recover from jet lag. We did not wish to stay at our opulent hotel all day, so we booked this tour. Nielson was extremely flexible. We requested a 9 AM start time. Nelson showed us the city, and how people really live. It was a wonderful half day cultural experience, especially for our children, who have never been exposed to a country outside of a Western economy. The market was definitely a highlight. We got to interact with the people. Although we will go to the cultural center at the end of our Safari, it was good to go today, as it gave us a chance to see the crafts that are available, and we will be able to then make our selections/purchases on the way home. There is so much that it is at first overwhelming! Book this tour. The price is incredibly reasonable for American standards. The tour was exactly what we wanted: authentic Tanzania!
Greetings dear Peggy! Thank you so so much for booking with us and taking a time review your tour. This is a big contribution to the business and we all appreciate. Thank you
Well organized tour and Nelson our tour guide was very professional and kind. He was very knowledgeable about everything in Tanzania and Arusha. He kept it at a nice pace.
Dear Farron, thank you for choosing Arusha Excursions to offer you experience of Arusha Town. I real appreciate your time to write us a review of what your experience. Karibu tena
I had limited expectations and was pleasantly surprised and how informative and how all encompassing the city tour was. We walked around town and Innocent explained the important monuments and what they meant, we went to the Arusha museum, Tanzanite experience, the cultural centre, and the market all in one day. It was a great change of space post safari so if you’re looking for something to do, I would recommend taking the day in Arusha.
Thank you for a booking of our tour and thanks for your review. We real appreciate Thanks
Nelson is the BEST! Look no further! He took care of us all day and showed us amazing spots in Arusha and took us to a gorgeous waterfall and local lunch. Highly recommend using Nelson for any needs in Arusha!
Thank you so much Mellisa! It was my pleasure to host you in Arusha.
If you’re looking for guided activities in Arusha, look no further. Nelson has you covered! He greeted me at Kili airport and, together, we spent the next few days exploring. Nelson took exceptional care of me, including assisting me with a major snafu with my luggage at the airport. Trustworthy, honest, professional, prompt and friendly are all words I would use to describe him. He is the best! Thank you, Nelson! P.S. My travels with Nelson were in January 2021, but TripAdvisor only allowed me to go back as far as April 2021.
Thank you so much Sandy. You're amazing🙏
