Interesting and tasty

5.00A great introduction to the old parts of Dar and the street food. It's a noisy, dusty and hot experience, but you get a great sense of what life is like for the people working and living in the district as well as the history of several of the major buildings. The food tour element was great fun (bring an appetite, the food is delicious!) and provides more insights into life of the people living in the area, which is a true melting pot of traditions and religions. We really enjoyed it.
Best food experience.

5.00The tour was excellent and get to try restaurants that you wouldn’t expect to go to during your trip in Tanzania. A tour that you must book if you’re in Dar es Salaam.
Amazing

5.00Oh my goodness. What an amazing experience. Started with a small walking tour that gave a brief glimps into the history of Dar es Salaam. And then into areas of diverse food culture. Fruits, Street pastry's, cane sugar juice.. the most authentic chai I've had outside of India, At KT. A local place that is a highlight. Samosas. And soo much more. These two are absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable about history and culture. And genuinely kind people. They want to make your experience amazing. We were able to go on a Sunday morning. So traffic is manageable and walking is easy.
Highly recommended

5.00This tour truly exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The tour duration, walking pace, and food were perfectly balanced, and I never once felt bored while exploring the city. Every local dish I tried was delicious and completely new to me, and I loved getting to experience such a wide variety of Tanzanian food. The guides, Aqueel and Ima, were outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. As a solo traveler, I felt safe, welcomed, and well taken care of throughout the entire tour. I especially appreciated how attentive they were to my safety, right up until drop-off. This evening tour was the perfect way to end the day. If you’re visiting Dar es Salaam, this tour is an absolute must. Highly, highly recommended!

5.00Incredible experience! The guides were very informative. We started out with a wonderful walking tour of the city center, stopping at many landmarks. We heard about the history and culture of Tanzania. Then we went to multiple food stands to try various dishes at the places that locals go to. Definitely enough food to get very full by the end! Also as a woman, I felt safe the entire time and loved how friendly and professional the guides were.
Great experience
