Grace was a delightful guide - thoughtful, considerate, informative, relaxed. Even though I was the only person asking for a tour at that time, they still provided it, which was really nice. The Karura forest is amazing.
Note: Because of another tour she was leading, we had to start late, which wasn't her fault, but it would have helped for me to know about the inevitable delay earlier in the day.
