Fatumah was an excellent guide. I felt comfortable with her immediately! She helped me negotiate the traffic and crowds as she shared the history and culture of Kampala. We visited monuments, markets, and houses of worship. The "organized chaos" would have been too much for me to manage on my own. I say this as a person who travels a lot and goes to NYC frequently. Go with Fatumah, you will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful experience with Fatumah. She showed us all the highlights of the city, including the beautiful markets, and told us about many really interesting historical/cultural aspects. Super recommended experience and super knowledgeable guide!

I was the only tour participant with Fatumah! It was great. I particularly enjoyed visiting East Africa's biggest mosque at the end of the tour with her.

Fatumah was an absolute amazing guide! We spent the day together touring some of the most popular spots in Kampala! Traveling on my own I have struggled to get pictures of myself throughout Uganda and she offered to take many pictures for me! She helped me to navigate the craft market and gain more comfortability exploring Kampala! She even offered to meet me back at the market to gather some more gifts! I highly highly highly recommend this walking tour!

One word: impressive. Fatumah (the guide) has not only an extensive knowledge of the in and outs of Kampala, her passion and love for the city’s history make this one of the best guided tours I have taken. It was a privilege.

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Fatumah, her warmth/easy laughter and local knowledge was great. She got in touch by WhatsApp before the tour to confirm time and place of meeting and introduce herself and when she met us she told us what the plan was for the walk upfront - giving us opportunities for drinking and shopping breaks. Given the (beautiful) chaos of Kampala her punctuality, sense of organization and calm was fantastic. We would never have found our way through the maze of markets without her and as a woman I really appreciated another woman showing me the way and looking out for our safety. This was a great way to get a feel for Kampala and Uganda’s history, politics and cuisine. Thank you Fatumah!
