5.00I had one day to see Kampala on my first visit to Uganda. And what a great day it was spent with Fredaus. She was so knowledgeable and the tour gave me a true taste of the local life and culture. I am quite an experienced traveller but I am glad I opted to have a guide as I have learned a lot and also felt very safe (as a female) walking along the streets and markets of Kampala and being taken to the best sport to take the photos. Highly recommend this tour. It was very easy to book (I literally booked it while chatting in the cafe with another solo female tourist who recommended it to me).
Great day! Would recommend!

5.00I was shown the sights of Kampala by Fridaus. She was amazing. I originally thought I would walk the markets and mosque by myself, thank god for Fridaus as I now know I would not have seen anything like I did. She told me all the history of Gadaffi Mosque, the independence statue, the war memorial and she carefully guided me throught the busiest markets, we did Owino market which sells EVERYTHING and nakasero market for vegetables and fruit. She explained and helped me buy some local foods and snacks. I cannot thank her enough for the funny stories, the history but most of all the feeling of security I had having her guide me around the busy streets.
Most Comprehensive Walking Tour You'll Find!

5.00We had Frida, and she was fantastic — so warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating! As for the experience itself, this is probably the most comprehensive walking tour you'll find. We explored downtown, uptown, and central Kampala! We even squeezed in some shopping at the fabric district and the Craft Village. It was a privilege to explore places we couldn't venture on our own, like Owino Market. Stay close to your guide and you’re in for a great time!

5.00It was a lot of fun to be able to guide around Kampala, which would be dangerous for a Japanese alone! I also learned a lot about Ugandan history. It's a very kind and wonderful tour.
Phenomenal walking tour

5.00I absolutely loved the tour with Fridaus. She is very knowledgeable about the rich history in Uganda. She took her time with us and made sure we were ready to move on to the next topic or location. I 100% recommend taking this tour.

5.00The walking tour of Kampala was fantastic. Fridaus was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and I could not have asked for a better guide! I got to see parts of Kampala that I would not have felt confident visiting alone, and learned facts about the history and daily life in this busy city! So glad I went on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone else visiting Kampala.

5.00Fridaus was an absolutely fantastic host. She showed us so much of Kampala in a short time. Very knowledgeable with details and dates around the mosque and monuments and ensured we got a good deal on things we purchased in the markets. The tour of the markets was really a highlight. Such colour, chaos, and charm! I would absolutely recommend a tour with her.
