Nairobi Food Tour

Sharon was an incredible guide! We went with her to many food spots in the central part of Nairobi - she took us to a bunch of great local places to try authentic Kenyan foods. She really is the best and I can’t recommend her more!

Sharon was a fantastic guide! I learnt so much about Kenyan culture, food scene and local lifestyle. She is super friendly and we had good conversations. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nairobi.

One of the best tours we’ve ever done! It’s absolutely worth taking this tour in Nairobi. Sharon is an incredible guide, very dedicated, friendly, and professional. We visited places and tried food we would have never experienced without someone to show us around, and at all times we felt safe walking through markets and the streets of downtown Nairobi with our children, accompanied by her. We are truly happy to have had this experience in the city and to have met Sharon. Highly recommended.

I joined Sharon's food tour of Nairobi on my very first day here. I was looking to get a feel for the city, and the tour exceeded all expectations I could have had. Sharon's enthusiasm, professionalism and ability to captivate with her story telling are palpable and I left her tour feeling like I had reached some understanding of what makes this city, and the brilliant people who live in it, so special. I should also say that, as a vegitarian, I was pleasently surprised at the different types of food options I was presented with during the tour. 10 out of 10...book a tour with Sharon, everybody - and please keep up the good work!

Sharon was an amazing host for the gastronomic tour. She took me to 3 marketplaces for food with all their own special dishes and explained their origins. I enjoyed it a lot. Also outside of the tour sharon is a very friendly person who like to make converstation. I was alone on this tour so sharon adjusted the tour a little to my interests which i very much appreciated. Thank you very much, I highly reccomend!

Sharon was great. Fun, easy to be with, and she showed me some great spots and tasty food. Highly recommend!

Sharon’s tour was great! She well prepared for the tour and gave us a chance to experience local food that we wanted. She also took photos of us during the tour and sent them back to us, so we have more memories, which is appreciated. She is kind, considerate and friendly. Highly recommend this tour if you’d like to explore the local food in Nairobi!

Sharon is incredibly sociable and welcoming — from the moment we met her, she radiated friendliness and positive energy. She’s bubbly, approachable, and genuinely invested in making sure her guests have the best possible experience. Her knowledge of the local area is impressive, and it’s clear she has built strong connections with both locals and merchants, which made our time in Nairobi feel authentic and enriched. She took us to amazing spots we would never have discovered on our own and gave us opportunities to interact with locals in a way that felt natural, respectful, and truly memorable. Sharon also went above and beyond by sharing useful tricks and tips to help us navigate Nairobi confidently and enjoyably. Thanks to her, we had an unforgettable experience — one that was both fun and deeply meaningful. I would highly recommend Sharon to anyone visiting Nairobi. She’s a fantastic guide and an even better person. Keep up the good work & see ya again soon !

This was fabulous. Often “local food tours” actually take you to mainstream or tourist spots that serve local food. Sharon did not. She took me to actual lunch spots where working Kenyans get their grub—but the yummiest of these :) these were stalls, alleys and restaurants that I would’ve passed by on my own. The food was delicious and safe for European stomachs (at least mine). Throughout, Sharon showed amazing warmth, friendliness and knowledge—greeting acquaintances, explaining the dishes and norms, deftly fending off excessive curiosity with a joke in Swahili (there wasn’t much of this! And what curiosity there was, was good-natured and fun.) Highly recommend. Note: this is NOT “gourmet” in the sense of fine dining or hipster street food for expats. It is true local stuff—cheap, yummy home cooking and plastic chairs.

Sharon was amazing! She was so insightful during our tour and pointed out so many things that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen or known about. She made us feel safe at all times and we would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to know more about Kenya and their food. Thanks Sharon!

The charisma Sharon has, combined with her knowledge made my tour interesting, informative and fun. If you wanna see Nairobi from a different than the typical boring touristic point, book a tour with Sharon and enjoy

An incredible experience! Each stop offered delicious and authentic dishes. Sharon was very knowledgeable and attentive to everyone’s needs. Perfect for anyone who loves exploring a city through its food. I’d 100% do it again! 5/5 — A must for food lovers!

Great tour. Make sure have small local change. Loads to buy on the way.

Sharon's walking tour with food pairings was excellent! Great local insight to Kenyan cuisine, peppered with history and some sightseeing to points of interest nearby. Sharon was approachable, knowledgeable, and warm. A bonus was a brief foray into matatu culture and urban life in Nairobi. Highly recommend!

This was by far our favourite experience in Nairobi. We had an amazing afternoon with Sharon, we learnt so much, are so much and talked so much. A great introduction to the city and it's culture. Felt like spending the afternoon with an old friend. Great communication before the tour and after. I also let Sharon know I was a vegetarian which was no issue for her at all. Thanks Sharon.

Fun way to explore downtown and get to know how your average Kenyan lives in the city without getting too overwhelmed. Sharon was a fabulous guide and arranged for us to see and try a lot of new foods in some interactive ways. Definitely recommend doing early on in your trip to get your bearings and jump into the hustle and bustle of Nairobi life.

We were privileged to have Sharon to ourselves. First time to Nairobi, this was such a great way to learn about Kenyan food and abit about Kenyan life and the history. Sharon has lots of info to share and obviously well loved by the locals. She was a joy to spend time with and we really felt we got a lot out of our time together.

Sharon was a great guide and took us around downtown Nairobi visiting places we could never find ourselves. She provided great information about the local food and took us to places where only locals go. Great guide and highly recommend her tour.

Great local experience! We felt safe, welcomed and comfortable to the places Sharon brought us. Highly recommend the tour!

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!! ❤️

What an experience! She will take you to see the real Nairobi, places you won’t see by your own. Don’t miss this opportunity!! Thank you Sharon!

Sharon was a delight and amazing! Very knowledgeable and known locally she kept me safe and helped me participate in meeting locals and experiencing Nairobi like I wanted to. This is one of the best tours I've ever done, thank you Sharon, you are wonderful!

Sharon ist eine sehr herzliche und freundliche Person. Sie hat uns viel erklärt und gezeigt. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und können die Tour mit ihr nur empfehlen.

Sharon is amazing. Great attitude, tons of information, easy going, accommodating of every need. We tried different foods and drinks, learned about food and culture. Our time together was sweet. Thank you Sharon, I recommend this tour, 5 stars.

We had a really great time during tour; Sharon explained a lot about local food culture and even went above and betond turning the food tour also in a more general tour of the neighbourhood. Thanks a lot!
