    Our guide Tim did a great job throughout our entire morning tour. He gave us history of presidents and buildings and showed through some interesting spots. We didn’t have a lot of time but he was thorough with the things we were able to see.

    This being our first time in Nairobi, we decided to do this approx. 3-hour tour and were not disappointed. Michael gave as an insightful introduction to life in Nairobi and Kenya in general and showed us many interesting buildings and monuments throughout the city as well as an indoor and outdoor market. He told us about the meaning of wooden masks in Kenyan culture, showed us some of his own paintings and gave us an excellent explanation of the view from the KICC at the end of the tour.
