5.00Our guide, Amos, was very informative and knowledgeable. He had a great plan for introducing us to the city and Kenya’s history. Communicated well before the tour and with his presentation.

5.00I cannot recommend Amos enough, he truly is an excellent guide, his knowledge of history and heritage buildings is top level. He was also assertive, picking up quickly that my sister needed a coffee break and to sit down for a pause. He created a route which incorporated the inclusive history of Kenya and I felt safe at all time. We leart everything from the First Nations, British colonial influences and modern Kenya today. Thank you very much Amos, it was a pleasure to meet you. Thanks also for stopping at a book shop!
Amos is amazing guide

5.00Amos is a brilliant guide. His mind teems with knowledge about Kenya, Africa and so much else. His tour of African Heritage House was fascinating and moving and one of the highlights of my holiday (which was full of high points). His walking tour of Nairobi gave us a great feel for the city centre in a short amount of time. I enjoyed his company very much and can't recommend him highly enough.
