Tim was my driver and guide. As most Kenyans, he was very social able, warm, and hospitable. He made sure to educate me on Kenya and the different parts of town we rode through. He went above and beyond to make sure I could make a few stops.You won't regret booking. The tea farm was everything I imagined and more. Don't miss it!!!

Alex our driver was professional and knowledgeable. On the drive to the tea estate he provided insights on Kenya’s tourist spots as well as Kenyan history. He was an extremely safe driver and the trip was enjoyable. The tour at the tea plantation was informative. It was an opportunity to see first hand how tea is grown and understand the process to turn leaves into tea. A delicious farm to table lunch ended the tour. Spectacular grounds. Tip: wear sensible walking shoes and be prepared for cooler temperatures. Highly enjoyable.

As a tea person, this day trip was a must see. Not too far away from Nairobi and we were told all kind of interesting information about Kenya during our drive to the farm.
Fiona was really lovely and friendly, taking us around the farm. Her staff was also great and not to mention about the tea break and the lunch that included 3 courses and vegetarian options were available. Tea served tasted also good.
Definitely recommending this, even if you're not a tea drinker.
