Wonderful Introduction to Nairobi!

- Review from Viator
5.00Jeff was a. Outstanding tour guide. He knew Nairobi intimately and in addition to asking us what we were primarily interested in about Nairobi, he showed us all of the different counties and subsections, and explained their cultures, way of life, benefits and challenges. He further discussed education from elementary up, both public and private. He was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of life I and around Nairob in as well as in other jurisdictions. It was a very pleasant introduction to the area, especially during our first day there. We would highly revommend using him.
