Nairobi Food Tour

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!

Five stars! This was such an informative and interesting tour! Much more than just a food tour, although we got to try so many wonderful foods and even got to make our own chapati from local chefs. Our guide Sharon is truly a great guide and active member of the community. We got to learn a lot about the history, culture and way of living of the locals to see a real glimpse of the daily lives, inspirations and struggles of people in Nairobi. Highly recommended, a must do in Nairobi. 很有意思的经历和向导，不仅体验了美食还了解到了非常多跟当地有关的日常生活，来内罗毕应该报名体验一下。

I had a great time on this food tour with Sharon. We got to try a lot of good food and probably ones we wouldn't have found ourselves. It was informative and fun. We had such a good time. Thank you.

One of the best tours I attended so far. Sharon was very passionate to show different local food markets through out downtown Nairobi. We were able to taste different kind of food and drinks. All in all a very high recommended tour.

An absolute must-visit if you want to experience an authentic glimpse of daily life in central Nairobi. Sharon is a wonderful and knowledgeable host who takes you right into the heart of the action, sharing fascinating insights about the local culture, daily life, and cuisine. Her warmth and expertise make the experience truly special.
