City tour with a great guide

Obed is a fantastic guide. He has very deep knowledge about the history of Kenya . He takes good care of his guests, he arrived absolutely on time and is very polite.He took extra time to be sure we had a full experience at each of the places we visited.Seeing the city from a insider view was so much more educational. I highly recommend taking his tour.
Fantastic city tour!

Obed is a fantastic guide. He has very deep knowledge about the history of Kenya and Nairobi, also about the political flows. His explanations and commentaries are very colorful. He takes good care of his guests, he arrived absolutely on time and he is very polite. He goes beyond the promises of the tour, he was kind to include some places to the tour which I was especially interested in. We spent together lots of hours and the time just flew.
This is my first time in Africa and as a white woman I read about many safely warnings, of course, but with Obed I felt very safe. Actually the whole city looks safe, clean and modern.
This is a superb city tour with all of the must sees within the city.
I highly recommend it!
A very thorough tour of an interesting city with a great guide

Our guide, Obed, was very knowledgeable about Nairobi and Kenyan history in general. He took extra time to be sure we had a full experience at each of the places we visited. I recommend him to anyone who wants to see Nairobi.

Way too much time stuck in a van in traffic
Farouk_F
, Dec 2019
First thing we noticed was that there was no bottled water in the van as promised in the discretion, This might not seem like a big deal, but we didn't bring our own because we were told it was provided, and considering how long we spent in the car, we needed it. First stop at Kenyatta International Conference Center but the center was closed. D they not know this from before? seems like poor planning. In the description it says lunch would be at Carnivore, which we were looking forward to, but didn't actually end up going there. Overall the tour was nice, the driver was very friendly and polite, but be ready to spend way too much time in the car. between visiting sites by car only, and the traffic to get to the hotel a the end of the day, we could not wait to be out if the van.
Response from Host , Dec 2019
Thanks for taking time to share your review. It's unfortunate that the traffic was too much from the usual and the conference center not being accessible due to the security reasons from government officials. We appreciate the opportunity and we hope another better day with us next time.

I really enjoyed this tour. I had been to Nairobi many times before but not since 1993 and so seeing the change was fabullous. Obed was a great guide, very friendkly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. The tour in the national museum was great, we had a good ramble around the city,visited a marked and proceeded to Boma of Kenya and this was the highlight for me. The dancers were great and seeing the various recreated villages was well worth it. A very enjoyable day, indeed!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
