During the tour, I will take you to the tallest building in Nairobi, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the city from above. From this vantage point, you’ll also see the statue of Kenya’s first president. Depending on the time of day, this stop offers a beautiful opportunity to experience either sunrise or sunset over Nairobi.

We will visit the site of the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing and discuss its historical significance.

Along the way, we will explore and discuss the many monuments that have played an important role in the history of Nairobi and Kenya as a nation.

Afterward, we will head to the Maasai Market, where you can shop for authentic African handicrafts, souvenirs, curios, and more. I will assist you throughout to ensure you get quality items at local prices.

Once the tour is complete, I will recommend a good restaurant, and I will also help arrange an Uber to take you back to your hotel safely and conveniently.

Very nice walking tour, Calvince is very knowledgeable guide and shares a lot of interesting information about Kenyan history. Going to the market is not such a pleasant experience if you are not a fan of intrusive salesmen and bargaining. Better places for your souvenirs and gifts are Langata Link and Spinners Web, also nice for a good coffee and lunch.
Awesome tour

Calvince is an excellent tour guide. He is highly knowledgeable and delivers a quality service. He was prompt and on time and met me at my hotel and made sure I was safe at all times. He answered all my questions and gave me an interesting insight into Nairobi culture. Highly recommended if you have a couple of days in Nairobi after your safari.
A fun and very interesting walking tour. Highly recommended!

I was lucky enough to have been the only person on the tour so I got Calvince's full attention. He is full of all the historical, cultural and knowledge of the city of Nairobi. I highly recommend his tour. The highlight for me was going to the top of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre and appreciating the Nairobi skyline.
Great tour of Nairobi!

Calvince What a great tour! My girlfriend and I wanted to see the city, but we wondered if it was safe. Then we ended up at Calvince! And I would recommend him to everyone! Calvince guided us today through Nairobi's CBD (central business district). An interesting tour where everything is covered, including: history, sight seeing, food and of course lots of fun. Calvince really knows how to explain everything very clearly so that everyone can understand it. Calvince is someone who pays close attention to you and knows how to answer all your questions. My girlfriend and I felt really comfortable in the city, partly thanks to Calvince. Thanks again for the enjoyable and informative tour. We really enjoyed it! At the end, Calvince has a nice surprise, but for that you have to book the tour yourself. Highly recommended!!
