Our guide Ben was very nice. The Kenya museum was interesting but the guide was very quiet. Railway museum was surprisingly interesting also. Highlights were the snake park where the guide gave us two or three once in a lifetime experiences sand the view from the KICC was awesome and the market visit albeit brief was a true taste of Nairobi.

Overall, I thought it was a good tour. My only recommendation is that you make it clear in advance that there will be local guides at each of the three museums and that tipping of these guides is not included in the tour. Since we had 7 people on the tour this added quite a bit to the overall cost!

Ben and his driver, Eric, went out of their way to show us the highlights of Nairobi. The museum and snake park were very interesting. Our guide in the snake park provided a "hands on" experience. The view from the roof of the conference center was great. We did the tour on a Sunday afternoon, so most of the market stalls were closed.
