4.00The three places we visited were well worth seeing. The mosque is amazing as are the views from the tower. The Royal Palace and tour along with the view back to the Parliament building are thought-provoking and the burial tombs are interesting. We enjoyed the walks from each location, though it was a long way from the Palace to the tombs! Our guide, Malik, was excellent and full of interesting information.
Safe and immersive cultural experience

5.00As a solo female traveller from the US, I felt super safe on this trip. My guide (Malik) was amazing - very thoughtful and knowledgeable. It was a walking tour throughout the city, but honestly I liked this even more than driving/boda boda since it meant I got to see even more of the city that I would have never seen on my own. It was definitely a great experience I’ll never forget!
