Free walking tours in Nairobi

I was in Nairobi on Saba Saba (7/7) Day so security was of top of mind with protests throughout the city. I was very happy that I continued with this tour. I would never have felt comfortable walking through Kibera on my own, but Elijah led me around Kibera so I could fully understand what life is like there. I think if you are visiting Nairobi, seeing how people live is very important and this is one of the only ways to do so.

Musa's tour is unlike any tour I have done before. It feels less like a tour and more like a hangout. You get to see both sides of Kibera and get a chance to visit Musa's family home and talk to his family. Everyone is super open and like to share insights into their lives, and you feel truly welcomed in. Because this you get a unique understanding of life here and leave with an experience you won't forget.

John took us on a well thought out tour, he answered all our questions, shared personal anecdotes, and he also waited for me even though I was 10 minutes late. Thank you for teaching me about the history and culture of Nairobi and Kenya. I wish you all the best!

I really liked Musa's tour of Kibera. It was immersive and very personal. Musa has a pleasant personality, he's kind and open, and the Kibera tour was a very interesting addition to my stay in Nairobi. Thank you for hosting me!

Daniel was on time, kind, energetic, and full of information about Nairobi and Kenya - both history and current events. We learned a lot and had a great time!

Ismael took us to several interesting places. We started at a tower with a 360-degree view and learned a lot about Kenya’s history and political system, as well as local tribal cultures. We visited street food vendors, a souvenir market, and the Sarova Stanley Hotel, where we heard fascinating stories from colonial times. We definitely recommend this experience!"

Excelente experiencia! Muy buena información y el recorrido muy lindo también. Recomiendo

I had trouble getting to the city center. all Ubers declined me because of traffic, so William ended up sending me a Uber, that picked me up, and he waited for me (and the rest of the group that was also stuck in traffic). He was very sweet and informative. Got to see different vibes of the city and he could answer all our questions. After the tour ended, he help the others with a drive home, and helped me finding a nice restaurant. Very helpful guy, that made us all feel safe and taken care of.

William was very knowledgeable and a great guide. I would highly recommend this tour - a great starting point.

Edwin was a lot of fun, had a lot of information & pointed out foods to eat and they were all very delicious. very much recommended

Edwin was knowledgeable, engaging & passionate and he recommended different Kenyan food that we really enjoyed, I recommend this tour.

I got to taste different Kenyan food, and also got to taste the Kenyan Bear. very delicious food

We had a good experience. Daniel was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Would definitely recommend him

A great walking tour during challenging times.

What a great tour! John was great, he gave us great information and was very personable and interesting. We’ve done several of these walks and felt like John was one of the more honest and just pleasant guides we’ve had. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable guide Responded to questions with depth

We wanted to see Nairobi beyond the hotels, restaurants and Ubers that are usually displayed for the tourists. This tour was a once in a lifetime experience for us to visit the largest slum in Africa and to learn, with humbleness and 0 judgements, how people live there. Luke and his friend were great guides, very knowledgable, open to talk and to answer our (multitude of 😅) questions, and to make us feel safe in every moment. 100% recommended! ✌️

John was awesome host and he showed us multiple places around Nairobi and gave us recommendations for everything we asked. He also bargained for souvenirs on our behalf and got us best prices. He has very good knowledge about History, culture, economy, etc about Kenya and Nairobi. Also he answered everything we asked in details. Highly recommended to see around Nairobi in short time.

Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable and explains everything with passion and clarity. We were truly impressed by his work and the foundation he started. It’s absolutely worth supporting with a donation so he can continue making a difference. He has a big heart – and that kind of dedication deserves all the support it can get.

The tour was beyond our expectations! Both we and our friends who already live in Nairobi learned so much. I definitely recommend a tour with Amos!

Sharon did a wonderful job introducing us to the food and culture of Nairobi, and patiently answered all our questions. She was enthusiastic and kind throughout. We tried food we otherwise wouldn’t have (and even went back the next day to try things she had recommended). We went on a few matutus which was a unique experience. She was also kind enough to take pictures & videos for us so we could focus on the experience. We loved our morning with Sharon and highly recommend doing this walk with her!! ❤️

Kenii gave us an amazing tour in the center of Nairobi and was very knowledgeable and kind! We got to see the city and learned about the history. Highly recommended!

Wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Musa for such an eye-opening and meaningful tour of Kibera. Despite the later starting time, everything was well worth it — you guided us with so much heart, knowledge, and respect for the community. I truly appreciated your stories and the connections you helped us make along the way. Your passion and positivity made the experience unforgettable. I’m really grateful for the opportunity and I hope our paths cross again someday. Take care and keep up the amazing work!

I just arrived in Nairobi and I had the pleasure to make my first steps into the city life with a very attentive and informative guide who showed and explained to me the cultural landmarks of this interesting city. Thank you, Williams! 🙏

Ibrahim was a great guide- deeply knowledgeable, friendly, funny, with a broad range of interesting facts about both the history of Nairobi and contemporary culture.
