Nairobi History Half Day Tour
While you can stroll around Nairobi by yourself, you cant compare this to the wealth of information you would get from our guide. The sense of security and ease of getting around wouldn't also compare.
While historical information might be boring to listen for 2 hours, our guide tells you the modern, interesting and relevant facts about Nairobi as they show all the spots like popular restaurants and hang out joints. We also get to teach you some common but cool Nairobi slang and basic Swahili words and sentences. We basically teach you how to blend into the culturally diverse city.
You also might get to taste Nyama Choma - grilled Beef or goat.
