Free tour esencial de Mombasa

he is a protector. that is the number one that we can describe him. very helpful and understanding. knowledgeable and fun to be with. highly recommended to do the tour

Humphrey has been an excellent guide, he has made the tour easier for us because our bus was delayed and we had to carry our backpacks. He adapted very well to us while still telling us the story of Mombasa. He has been very kind helping us get transportation. Highly recommended!

We are thankful for having Humphrey guiding us in Mombasa. Very friendly and professional person.

So please note my review was based on my interaction with Humphrey. But I did not take his tour. Let me explain. I have participated in guru walks in multiple countries and what I love is the guides are local people, not some big foreign company. I choose to support local people. But I am respectful to remember that these guides are individuals who are doing this to make a living. So when I messed up and overslept, I felt the right thing to do was to: 1. Contact the guide and apologize for the inconvenience 2. Provide small compensation for their wasted time (especially if I happened to be the only tourist signed up. 3. Try to reschedule for another day if possible It costs nothing to be considerate!

I only joined for 2h and 15min, so can only rate that. The guide was really knowledgeable and could tell you a lot, cared about the customer. However, I feel we spent a bit too much time at the Fort (more then 1h) and only little time in the old town. We took then a TukTuk to the market, where I needed to leave. We spend quite some time in shops, surely also driven by other tourists but I guess in this 3h we would have not covered at all what is on the itinerary plus way to little time in the old town. For me this was the main aim of taking this tour, as everyone tells you to not go alone. So maybe the Tour should state 4h maybe in this time is possible to cover. Please mind the Fort Entrance needs to be paid still, so bring enough money.
