“Our guides Jackie and Leah gave us an informative and fun afternoon. Their knowledge of Nairobi’s history and culture was impressive as they took us around the city centre. We learned so much about the colonial history of Kenya and its economic development as well as its past and current culture. Our guides were great company and interested in all of our backgrounds. They answered all our questions and made our tour a truly memorable experience. To top it off we beat the weather and enjoyed the 360 degree view from the top of the KICC building. Superb! Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn about Nairobi.”
