Isaac was the perfect guide. So calm in the inevitable traffic jams, so informative when asked questions. There were just the two of us. We were taken round the National Museum by a very knowledgeable woman. Then the view from the Conference Centre was amazing. We finished at the bombing memorial which we very moving. This is a hugely recommended trip, led by an excellent leader.
Excellent overview of the city in a comfortable car!

As a solo female traveller I took the opportunity to explore Nairobi City with a private guide. Service was prompt and Stephen was profession and enthusiastic and despite the traffic holding us up allowed plenty of time at each venue. I was escorted with a private tour guide at the National Museum, Reptile Park, August 7th Memorial Garden and Beads Factory. Entertaining and informative and a fun way to get an overview of the city! Highly recommended.

This was a great tour through Nairobi. Steven Safari made the trip pleasant, took me to some interesting places where I learned a lot, and enjoyed myself with him. Be ready to go to some historic sites and also some tourist stops were you will almost certainly feel obligated to buy some things to take home.

As a female solo traveller, I felt very comfortable and safe with the very hospitable Steven who expertly navigated Nairobi’s busy roads to provide me with an unforgettable day tour of the city! The museum was an amazing introduction to traditional Kenyan culture and history. I really enjoyed the 360 degrees views of Nairobi from the top of the Convention Centre where Steven explained the city’s layout and development. We then travelled through the slums to the outskirts of Nairobi to visit an enterprise established to empower and support Masai women who make beads from clay from Mt Nairobi. From here, I enjoyed a traditional Kenyan lunch (lots of vege and a type of beef stew with mashed potatoes- yummy!). This was followed by a tour of another enterprise that helps support Masai (woodworking). Steven expertly navigated the congested roads to safely deliver me back to my hotel. Highly recommend this tour and Steven as a guide.

We appreciate the flexibility and thoroughness of the tour. Both Selestine and Jane were great hosts. They made sure we received the best assistance and guidance and were there to answer any questions we had. They were patient with us while shopping. The driving was excellent. It was very helpful to know that Selestine and Jane were not only well versed in history of Kenya but also very familiar and connected at the places we visited. It made us feel Safe and comfortable being here for the first time . Their patience and excellent customer service are appreciated. It was my husband, Rick and me on the tour. Thank you to Selestine and Jane. Cassandra
