Essential Free walking tours of Dar es Salaam

I booked a full-day tour with Rashid, and he used our time in the best possible way. He showed me the most famous sights, but also mingled our tour with the local day-to-day life in Dar es Salaam. As I am living in Tanzania, I already know many things about the country’s history, but Rashid was still able to add many interesting facts. He is especially knowledgeable about the different tribes in Tanzania and their characteristics. I could decide on the pace of the tour and how many different places I wanted to see. As soon as I come back to Dar es Salaam, I will book another tour with Rashid so I don’t miss the many more stories he has to tell. Hongera sana!

Great walking tour, was really interesting

We are two students from the netherlands and really really enjoyed the tour with Rashid. He explained us a lot about the history of Tanzania and little fun facts. We went to the fish market and kariakoo market and without him we would have felt lost!! We would recommend this tour 100%!!!! Thank you so much Rashid.

It was a very good tour. Rashid took me to the most important places in the city. He has a lot of knowledge about the history of the city. He's also always looking out for your safety.

Thanks Rashid for giving us an authentic tour through the city center of Dar es Salaam, I really enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed the tour with Rashid. He is a very kind person, patient, flexible when you want to see something else/extra. He gave us very interesting information about Dar. We recommend a tour with Rashid!

Rashid was very nice and willing to answer all our questions. Being born and raised there, he provides true insights of what it is to live in Dar es Salaam today. We only wished the tour was more about local life and removed the stops about colonial heritage.

It was a very good walk. We wanted to change the route and it was no problem. Rashid is handsome and helpful in any way. We can highly recommend to pick Rashid.

Rashids tour was really nice, and we could explore the city with him. He was always adjusting to our wishes. Only small improvement could be his punctuality.

We had a great city walk with Rashid! We especially liked going to the busy marketplaces, where we could experience local Dar es Salaam life with the guidance and safety of a local. He could tell us much about the history of the city, and he was willing to tailor the tour to our needs. Thank you Rashid!

Rashid told us about the history of the city and Tanzania. He has a lot of knowledge and he took us to the markets, so we could experience how the people is living…. Highly recommend if you want to have a local experience and know more about Tanzania history

Nice insights in Tanzania's history, politics and cultural heritage. Rashid is a very good guide.

Had a wonderful time during the tour with Rashid! He’s very personable and knowledgable, and definitely strive to make sure you really get to know the life in Dar from a local’s perspective. It was one of the most unusual tours I’ve ever taken and this is my 61 country :) highly recommend!

Un tour bastante práctico y completo para conocer el centro Dar es-Salam. Rashid fue muy profesional todo el tiempo. Más que recomendado el tour.

Suggested!

Very good man and guide!

Rashid is a lovely and knowledgeable guy. He answers all your questions with a big smile on his face. I really recommend joining his tour. What a great guy

Rashid is very cool and relaxed and we enjoyed our time with him a lot.. Thanks again!

Rachid took a lot of time to explain everything about the history and culture of Dar and Tanzania. We didn‘t have the typical tour we expected, but tailored to what we wanted to see and then had a unique conversation.

Rashid was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Rashid was an excellent guide in Dar Es Salaam. He gave us a comprehensive tour of the city, including information about the history, culture and local language. Thank you for an wonderful day in Dar es Salaam, Rashid. I would highly recommend this tour.

It was my first day in Dar e Salaam and Rashid maybe me feel comfortable and home. If you want to discover local places I highly recommend this tour ! 🤗

If you are looking for a varied and flexible tour that is not based on working through a plan, then Rashid is the right choice for you. In addition to the specified points of the tour, we had a long and varied conversation on a wide range of topics in Tanzania and beyond. There is so much to discover and so many perspectives to explore. Rashid takes you to places you would surely miss without a tour. Highly recommended if you want to get off the beaten track. Asante sana for all the informations and impressions from today’s tour.

Rashid was a great Nice guide with a perfect knowledge and deep knowledge of Tanzania's culture . Really appreciated the tour . Adding a tour dedicated to the swahili arab heritage would be great too

Rashid was a fantastic guide. He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, answering our many questions confidently. The route he took us on showed us different faces of Dar es Salaam. He gave us an informative tour of the museum (there was a $6pp additional charge to the museum for this) which helped give us a deeper insight into, and context of, the city. All of this done with keen enthusiasm, showcasing his passion for guiding. We would all highly recommend Rashid!
