Itinerary

  • Uhuru Park Nairobi

    After a brief introductory meeting with your local guide, head off to explore Nairobi! Walking through the streets of Nairobi and travelling by public transport provides plenty of opportunity to mingle with the locals as they go about their daily lives, making this a pretty solid local experience in our books. Your Nairobi walking tour will kick off with a stroll through Uhuru Park, right in the heart of the city, before wandering past the parliament buildings and the mausoleum of the first president of Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.

    1 hour

  • Kenyatta International Conference Center (Pass By)

    This Nairobi tour continues with a look at the Kenyatta Conference Centre.

  • August 7th Memorial Park

    August 7th Memorial Park, which was built to commemorate the bombing of the US Embassy. We'll also give you the opportunity to visit the Kenya National Archives and various other sites within the city centre, based on your interests and our route. Another key local experience is food, so it's no surprise that this Nairobi city tour includes the opportunity to sample local cuisine at lunch at a local restaurant. Eat like a local, chat with locals, see Nairobi like a local...soon you'll pretty much BE a local! (well, not quite, but you know what we're getting at...)

Great tour to learn about Kenyan history and culture, and to visit Nairobi’s busy town centre.

Published on Jan, 2025

This is an excellent tour to find out about Kenyan history and culture and to join the locals in the Nairobi city centre. The Peace Park and Museum offer a sea of tranquility and the Kenyan National Archives and other cultural stops a good grounding before heading out on safari. Our guide Faith was excellent! She helped us navigate the busy streets, find a suitable ATM and even buy a rain jacket. After the tour we enjoyed a traditional Kenyan meal in a local restaurant with Faith ordering for us in Swahili. Highly recommend the tour - and Faith!

Great half-day tour of Nairobi

Published on Dec, 2024

My partner and I did the walking tour in December and we had a blast! Our tour guide, Faith, was fantastic - in addition to taking us to all the sights in the city centre, she also told us a lot about the culture and modern life, and was an absolute sunshine. The traditional Kenyan lunch was delicious and Faith also introduced us to the wonderful ugali :)

Good tour with a great guide

Published on Oct, 2024

Nice relaxed tour of The main sites in the city with the excellent guide in Faith who is very knowledgeable. We saw what we wanted to the lunch was very pleasant, but the highlight really was the journey on the local bus with the guide which was a real experience. She was willing to take us to places that we wanted to go to rather than just her own agenda and was very helpful when we went to a local market and made purchases. The only downside was probably theNational Archives where the in house guide wanted to show us every single object in the museum Thoroughly recommended it for a good half day to learn about Nairobi
