We also took many pictures of the city skyline and visited the city market. Excellent and well knowledgeable tour guide. Two thumbs upI found the tour very informative, as the various periods of history where explained in brief and described how they all linked together. It is also a great way to stroll through the city's hussle and bustle. Amazing views at the top of the tower too !!

Awesome private guided Nairobi tour and storytelling with Moses as my guide! I stayed in town, and Moses picked me up in the hotel lobby. He arrived even a little earlier! I'm a solo female traveler. It was my first time in Kenya or Africa! I had some to kill until my husband's arrival later. There's no way I could have walked around alone in Nairobi city without Moses! It felt like touring around with a cool, talkative, and knowledgeable friend, who happens to know Nairobi's history to the core of his heart. Moses also worked well as a "security guard". I booked the noon time walking tour, which doesn't include a museum visit (great for me!) Note that this is a private tour, and Moses/Safari Port seems to be super flexible. I told Moses what I wanted to see, and what I didn't like. For a small additional fee, we added Masai Market to the itinerary as well. Flexibility is something I truly appreciate with Safariport. Because of that, we booked multiple tours through Moses, Obed, and Safari Port. Highly recommended!The favourite parts are the Verandah and Railroad museum and ofcourse the very knowledgeable Mr. Obed.
The favourite parts are the Verandah and Railroad museum and ofcourse the very knowledgeable Mr. Obed.I highly recommend Obed. He is knowledgeable and thorough with the history of Kenya and Nairobi. During the walking tour, you will see all the major highlights of the city center. He is friendly with good English.
