Nairobi City Tour and Shopping day Tour

We were looking for something to fill our last day in Kenya as our flight home wasn’t until late evening. We arrived from Masai Mara and Obed picked us up from Wilson Airport. First, he took us to a really good local restaurant with excellent Kenyan food. Then we went to a few shopping locations as well as learning about jewelry making and wood carving. It was really neat to see the whole process from start to finish. Our final stop was the top of the conference center for some spectacular views of Nairobi. Obed the brought us to the Jomo Kenyatta Airport in time for our flight home. Obed was very knowledgeable about the city and we really enjoyed spending the day with him.

Lots of history, geese views, and shopping
Tim is such I great guide! He provided all kinds of background information about Kenya, Nairobi, and Eastern Africa from current up to like very early history. It was a lovely walk through Narobi and then drive to nice artisan local stores. You couldn’t ask for more.

We could not have had a better tour and your guide. We had read so many reviews about being dragged around shops that tourists weren’t interested in so we were determined to have our own walking tour around Nairobi and some company to go to the Maasai Market. And that is exactly what we got. We explained what we wanted in advance by sharing the list of sites from one of the walking tours we found online but said we wanted to add to that some company at the Market so we could manage the traders.
Our guide was amazing. The two of us strolled around with him while he explained everything. He didn’t hurry but took his time and he even brought us up and down the VIP lift in the KICC as he knew everyone and helped us avoid queues. He also took pictures for us.
At the end he took us for a drive to Karen for lunch and when we said that we weren’t interested in any other shopping or museums he brought us back to the hotel.
He was 5* and would definitely recommend.

Our guide Obek picked us up early after we arrived earlier than we expected. His communication was excellent.
The tour itself was exactly as described in the itinerary, we got to watch the women make the beads at the women’s empowerment company, which was a real treat. Then visit the shop afterwards. Note on this the shop was all in dollars which we didn’t expect and only had shillings. So we handed over shillings and got dollars I’m change. No major drama but just a heads up. Next was the woodwork shop where we saw the guys carving the wooden objects that again we could buy in the shop but the real treat was the antiques place just room after room of beautiful items for sale. After the shops we went to the conference centre, pay 1000KES by card as venue is cashless, to get the elevator to the top and once up the view of the city is amazing. Obek talked to us on our drive about the history of Kenya and Nairobi and it was fascinating to hear all about the different tribes. He was friendly and answered all of our questions. Would recommend this tour if you’re into your shopping and don’t want the hassle of walking round the streets of Nairobi.

I had a couple days in Nairobi before traveling to Zanzibar and booked this tour. It was superb. My guide Tim was very knowledgeable I learned so much about Kenya and the city of Nairobi… Tim took me to all the cool places I did my souvenir shopping while learning about the culture of the city.. if you are ever in Nairobi book with Tim if you want a true cultural experience.
