Free walking tours in Daressalam

We had a fantastic walking tour of the vibrant kariakoo market with the lovely Yoshua. Yoshua was very friendly, professional and exceptionally knowledgeable. He was very passionate and showed us some amazing view points and introduced us to the bustling market, with information on its history and rich culture. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Yoshua and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dar Es Salaam. We visited as a couple for the day from Zanzibar by ferry. Yoshua was very caring ,considerate and ensured we had a great experience. Yoshua kept us well informed with great communication before and after the walking tour. Fabulous guide and a wonderful person for us to have the privilege of meeting 😊Thank you Yoshua, from Mutahir & Ayesha.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Derick. There was a total of 3 in the group, so he was able to personalize the tour to the interest of the participants. As a true local, Derick is very knowledgeable and shared historical info as we made our way in a loop that started/ended from St Joseph's Cathedral and included the seafood market. Truly an excellent introduction to Dar es Salaam!

Very professional, knowledgeable and overall a good human. Would recommend to anyone looking to see Dar Es Salaam.

Learnt a lot about Dar's history and the city through the tour. Derick was very knowledgeable and took us to the key sights in Dar. Would recommend.

Overall a good introduction to the market. Most likely I would not venture in there on my own. Yoshua was informative and has a passion for what he doing.

Really insightful tour. Derick was so knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had in good detail. Would definitely recommend to others

Derick was informative, showed passion for his topics and was professional.

Rashid è molto preparato, racconta la storia della Tanzania in maniera semplice ma precisa. Sa molte cose sia del passato che su temi di attualità. L'itinerario è molto piacevole, attraverso monumenti significativi e mercati.

Rashid was very accommodating, trustworthy, and professional. The tour included a visit to local places that I would not have known otherwise and it was a great experience! 市街地や聖堂に加え、マーケットやローカルな食堂など通常のツアーでは行かないような場所にも連れていってもらえ、とても良い経験ができました。

Derrick was great! He gave us an informative overview of the city, and was able to answer all our questions. He definitely knows his stuff, would highly recommend!

We booked the tour as a way to kill a little bit of time while waiting for our flight and to fill this time with some sightseeing. For this purpose the duration and stops we visited were pretty good but I would warn people that are sensitive to seeing dead animals (even endangered species) and the smell of fish as the tour ends at the local fish market. Sadly some of the places we were supposed to go to were closed which is of course not the guides fault but made the tour a little less special.

Derick was great and offered us a great understanding of the city’s culture and history.

It was great experience for me!

It was very nice to have Rashid as a guide! He showed us around Dar Es Salaam, Kariako market, the village museum and gave us valuable information! We recommend. He is also a very nice person !

Wir haben heute die Tour gemacht und es war das beste Erlebnis hier und ein Highlight unseres Urlaubs. Er weiß wirklich sehr viel und hat sich viel Mühe gegeben. Wir haben sehr coole Orte gesehen und viel mit ihm geredet. Mit Abstand die beste Tour die wir hier in Tansania hatten. Würde es definitiv jedem empfehlen und unterstütze Rashid sehr bei seiner Arbeit. Auch sein Englisch war sehr gut. Vielen Dank und alles Gute.

Rashid was an excellent guide. He took great care of us and was very protective. He recommended what to do and what to avoid. I highly recommend him.

Rashid was super nice and caring. We had a really good time and learned a lot about the city! We can highly recommend taking a tour with Rashid :)

The tour was great. It provides an interested insight from Dar es Salaam. The fish-market is something special. Beside that, we visited also the normal big market in the city. This place was a nice add-on on the normal tour.

Rashid met us on time and gave us a private tour of Dar es Salaam for more than 4 hours. We were very happy with his company, he's a lovely man who knows a lot of history about the city and Tanzania. He took us round the fish market, kept close to us in Kariako market, we made a stop for juice to take a break from the sun and he took us for lunch at a fantastic food court where we shared a meal of ugali and beans, proper local food! Excellent tour. I would highly recommend.

My daughter and I had a wonderful experience discovering Dar es Salaam with Derick. Very profesional and knowledgeable tour. Highly recommended.

Derek was wonderful guide, knowledgeable and informative. Enjoyed the walk with him

Rashid was an incredible tour guide! As a local, he took us to places I wouldn’t have explored on my own, like the bustling fish market, and explained everything, as well as answered all our questions thoroughly. This is my first day in Tanzania, so everything is new to me! He shared a wealth of knowledge about Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, and even taught us a few Swahili phrases. Rashid also gave us helpful tips, like when to keep a closer eye on our belongings in the crowded Kariakoo market—though we never had any issues. He introduced us to delicious local foods and even helped me navigate purchases at the market. We ended the day at Coco Beach, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend Rashid—he’s friendly, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like you’ve gained a new friend, not just taken a tour!

We had a varied and interesting walk around the highlights of Dar es Salaam. The fish market was incredible. Rashid had lots of interesting things to tell us including various historical stories. I would recommend Rashid as a guide

Great couple of hours. Very hot! Saw the outside of lots of places to go back and visit. Good context of Dar. Fabulous fish market. See this: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdU4qm6J/

Touring downtown Dar es Salaam with Derick is special. He will take you to hidden gems and share a lot of history and fun facts about buildings, streets or markets on the tour.
