Free walking tours in Kampala

Kampala doesn't have a great deal to offer the tourist, but my guide made a good job of helping me experience the place safely including markets and busy streets. He spent some time on the history of Uganda. I would have liked him to come with the Guru flag stated he would have, or failing that some badge or other form of identification. I would have liked him not to query the payment (I gave him 90,000 UGX.) He questioned what I had been told to pay, whereas guru walks does not have fixed payments. He also asked 'what about my travel costs'. These sort of issues need to be ironed out, as he was in all other respects a good guide.

The tour was very interesting. We walked a lot and visited some very interesting places. Sarah is very friendly and answered all my questions, giving me great tips for visiting Kampala and other regions of Uganda and Rwanda.

Zayna did show a lot of interesting places within kampala and told us a lot of intresting facts about the history of Kampala. We also visited some local markets, which was also a great experience. We can definitely recommend this tour 👍

Fatumah was an excellent guide. She is knowledgeable and charming. We were safe in her hands. I definitely would recommend her for anyone who wants to tour Kampala.

Sehr empfehlenswert mit vielen spannenden und für Frischlinge in Uganda wichtigen Infos. Zu Fuss sieht man vieles und von Nahem.

Visited many interesting parts of Kampala (3.5h slow walk, lots of shade/roofed areas). Steve is very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Very positive experience with Habib as our guide taking us to visit places of interest in Kampala.

We really enjoyed our walk with Fridaus. She's knowledgeable and entertaining

This experience was really well organized and Fatumah was a fantastic guide!

¡Gracias Steve! We had a lovely time in Kampala, you are amazing.

Zayna did an amazing job! Very knowledgeable and kind

Zainab is an incredible guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Kampala. She took us through vibrant markets, historical landmarks, and hidden local spots, making the city come alive with her stories. I felt safe, welcomed, and truly connected to the culture. Highly recommend this tour!

I loved the tour with Sarah! I was the only guest in the group and she could answer all my questions. The city is really chaotic and busy so it's really helpful to have someone to show you around and help you cross the streets ;)

Fantastic walking tour with Fatumah. This was the perfect way to explore Kampala. A comprehensive tour including historical sites, markets and spectacular views from the National Mosque tower. Fatuma is an excellent guide with lots of knowledge and insights into Kampala - and also national parks and locations outside Kampala. Strongly recommended.

What a phenomenal experience! I recently took a women-guided city tour of Kampala with Doris and it was easily a 5-star adventure. From start to finish, Doris was an absolute gem – incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the vibrant history and culture of Kampala. Doris didn't just recite facts; she wove stories that brought the city to life. Her insights into the local women's initiatives and the broader context of Ugandan society were particularly enriching and inspiring. It felt less like a tour and more like an immersive journey led by a trusted friend. She navigated the bustling streets with ease, pointing out hidden gems and offering fantastic local recommendations. I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour, and Doris's warm personality made everyone feel welcome. If you're looking for an authentic, insightful, and truly memorable way to explore Kampala, you absolutely must book a tour with Doris. You won't be disappointed!

We had a great experience and felt fulfilled after this tour. It is nice to discover crowded places the first time with Fatumah. She really adjust the tour to the groups interest and pace. We definitely would book again with Fatumah!

Great tour. Steve knew a lot about history and was able to navigate the city well. He was also able to answer all of my questions.

We had the walking tour today with Sarah. It was a fun and nice experience, we got to see a lot of attractions throughout the city and Sarah was good at giving information and answering our questions. Overall just a very nice tour :)

Steve was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgable. I learned a lot not only about the sites we visited but also about the Ugandan society.

Really interesting and informative

Experiencing the markets and bus stands was just amazing for me. I highly recommend Twaha for a good mix of history and culture.

Great tour with Steve. I would highly recommend!

Interesting tour, which was easily adapted to specific wishes and interests by the guide. So this was an uncomplicated way to get an individual first impression of the city. We learned a lot!

Kind, smart, super knowledgeable. Able to answer just about any question. But do ask questions!

Sara was our guide, she had a calm energy which I found soothing and excellent knowledge of history which is exactly what we needed. She had a confidence when walking on the streets that was reassuring, ensuring to help us cross busy roads and recommending some street food. She also brought us to good spots to take pictures that werent too crowded and much less risk of having your phone snatched. Very good tour, came away with more knowledge about Kampala!
