We did a tour through Kibera with Musa. It was just the two of us and we did it because we had an extra day but it turned out to be very interesting and another side to Nairobi we would not have seen otherwise. Musa was very knowledgeable about the community, having grown up there and included good stops that allowed you to see a good selection of locations in the slum. He also included a stop at his family home which was very nice to chat with his family and gain insight into life in the area. For those wondering about safety, at no point did we feel unsafe or harassed. Everyone either said hi to us or didn't pay us any attention. We had no concerns for safety. I would recommend this tour and Musa to anyone visiting the area. It was a worthwhile tour to have done and probably one of our highlights in Nairobi.
We had a nice walk around Nairobi with Edwin. Another group may have been small because we were joined by John and some other walkers and there were 7 of us total. Edwin had lots of good knowledge of the city, as did John, and they told us about some of the history. We stopped at a few landmarks around the city, including the library, market, university and a few other spots. There probably isn't an enormous amount to see in Nairobi but I feel like we covered it pretty well. I'd recommend this tour to others here for a few days looking to see the city.
We had a nice tour with Islam. He showed us lots of sights in the old town. He was very friendly and personable and open to answering any questions we had. Knowledgable about answering questions about Egypt and the area.
Such a good walking tour. We've done a lot of these all over the world and rarely are they so detailed and exhaustive. Sherif had so much enthusiasm for nearly 4 hours and he is such a friendly guy. He clearly knows boat loads about the pyramids, archaeology and Egypt. We took this tour on a whim and it turned out to be one of our highlights in the country so far. I would absolutely recommend that you do this tour if you are visiting the pyramids. The level of walking is very comfortable and admittedly it's also very nice to be sheltered from all the hassle at the pyramids when walking around with a guide. Definitely sign up for this.
