I flew in for work and really wanted to tour the city in one day, and Ben made it possible! Ben is an amazing tour guide, Ismail is a safe and friendly driver, and they make a perfect duo to make the most of your visit. I definitely recommend booking through them, whether alone or with a group. Kenya is awesome!

I have seen the two sides of Nairobi. Dominique, very friendly and competent, has fully responded to my wishes. We were on the observation deck of the Kenyatta Towers (great photos of the city) and Dominique showed me, on his own request, the slums Deep Sea and Mathare. You have to book the city tour!

The city tour was very interesting. Dominik is a great tour guide. First Snake Park, then KICC. We were on the observation deck of the Kenyatta Tower. Great view, great photos. After my request to Kibera: One of the largest slums in Africa. Very shocking, no perspective, utter hopelessness ...... I can only recommend the tour!
