Free walking tours in Mombasa

We were very happy to have met the first female Muslim tour guide in Mombasa. With great knowledge and competence, she led us through Fort Jesus, where she was very patient with us. Afterwards, she also showed us a few charming spots in Mombasa’s Old Town, she even tolk us to a nice local coffee spot and could also tell us much about the growing plants in this area. Bishamba is a nice&tough woman, and we were really glad to have had her as our guide. We definitely recommend her.

We will certainly not forget this tour with Bi Shamba. She is a personality who is enthusiastic about what she does. She loves and lives for her city and it is simply fun to see Mombasa through her eyes. Highly recommended!

Ali Baba was a super nice and interesting guide. He gave us a great tour all around Mombassa and shared with us his knowledge. We would definitely recommend him and his tour !

Interesting tour to discover characteristic places of the city

Ali was very nice guide , very kind, showed me a lot of things about mombasa. Also stopped me to explain everything in the different areas. And also talked me about the swaili culture and history of the city, i really recommend this tour 5/5

Very knowledgeable and good guide, really recommend the tour!

Tour muy interesante. Conoce muy bien la historia de la ciudad. Te sientes muy segura con ella caminando por la ciudad y se adapta a tus necesidades. Muy recomendable

This is a really interesting tour. Anjela has an extensive knowledge on the history of Mombasa and she is a delightful person to spend some time with. Highly recommend

If you want to safely taste authentic Swahili and Mombasa food this tour is an absolute must. You will also get to visit some places you are unlikely to find without the local knowledge of a guide. Anjela is a fantastic guide and a lovely, genuine and warm hearted person who has a wealth of knowledge about Mombasa and Kenya food, culture, history and more. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Anjela was cheerful, well-informed, and sensitive to our needs and issues. She met us on time and right at the spot agreed to. Our first visit was to the spice market where a vendor she knew spent time explaining the various spices grown and sold in Kenya. Another highlight was the fabric market where Anjela helped us buy a dera (long dress) for a friend. We then wound our way through New Town and Old Town. After visiting Fort Jesus, we were hot and tired (we are Americans from the dry Southwest and not accustomed to the humidity) and so begged off going to the Hindu temple, but I'm sure that would have been interesting too. Anjela had lots of information to convey about every place we visited. We also appreciated that she spoke in a clear voice and at a pace we could understand. Anjela gave us an enjoyable and memorable experience of her home city, Mombasa. We could not have asked for more.

Anjela is a very sweet person and an excellent guide. We learned many interesting things in a very limited amount of time, went through very beautiful places and she also recommended some very good spots to visit. I would definitely recommend her for your tour in Mombasa.

The tour was very informative and interesting. The time flew by. Anjela is incredibly knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. We would recommend anyone visiting Mombasa to book a tour with her. It was so enriching! Asante, Anjela!

Anjela is a wonderful person with the sweetest heart & a fantastic guide! She showed us an insight into Mombasa, gave us a lot of information and recommendations & the tour even included a tuk tum drive!

It was great to experience local food with Joan. She was very knowledgeable about the area and places to get what sort of food depending on your preference. Plus, it was also interesting to have a talk with her during meals and get to know her perspectives on different things.

We loved our tour with Anthony. He was super passionate and had a lot of additional information to tell. Also, he was kind and helped us out.

Angela was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. Learn so much about Mombasa, it's history, interesting cultural information, and recommendations on where to shop, eat. Overall a must do!

I highly recommend Anjela's tour! She is so knowledgeable about Mombasa and Swahili culture and history and was so well connected with the vendors and workers at different sites. She is also so patient and indulged me and my mom's shopping stops :) This is a GREAT way to see and learn about Mombasa!

Ok trip. Fantastic food, less informativ or interesting from a touristic point of view. A lot of walking, few stops.

I have done plenty of walking tours in different countries and it is very rare to find such a passionate and knowledgeable guide like Anjela. The tour was a truly immersive experience starting with the Spice market where we not only saw and interacted with the vendors but even tried so many different spices and fruits. Then we’ve walked around the old town of Mombasa and the Fort Jesus where Anjela demonstrated very deep knowledge about the history of the city, the life of the people and shared tons of interesting facts and stories. She has a great personality and sense of humour and made everyone feel comfortable easily. In the end she shared also a lot of tips and where to go and what to further experience in Mombasa. I can highly recommend her tour! Thanks again for the fantastic tour Anjela!

Amazing tour through Old Town Mombasa! We had a fantastic experience with Ali Baba exploring Mombasa’s Old Town, the vibrant local markets, and the historic Fort Jesus. Ali is a wonderful guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city’s history and culture. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt warmly welcomed from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly discover Mombasa!

Nice Tour! We had a good time. And the guide is so friendly!

The tour was amazing. Joan showed us lots of nice local food spots and we also saw lots of old town mombasa, which was definitely a plus. All the food we tried was amazing and she tailored the tour specifically to our likes as well as to what we have and haven't tried before.

Bishamba is a lovely and funny person! Her positive energy made the experience friendly and casual. She had really great information to share with me and I had the opportunity to ask all questions I had. She even made me discover some traditional Swahili snacks and drinks, making it a nice historic and cultural experience! Would totally recommend to anyone! Asante Sana Bishamba! It was a real pleasure to discovering Mombasa with you! :)

He was on time, very friendly and we felt safe the entire time. However we felt he lacked information and stories that make tours more informative.

I had a wonderful tour with Ali, his knowledge, story telling and professionalism made my first trip to Mombasa unforgettable. Highly recommended
