Unique and authentic experience!

Eliott_W, Apr 2026

We travel regularly and really enjoy walking tours whenever we get to a new city. Our guide Given was super kind and knowledgable, walking us through parts of town we would have never made our way through otherwise. He was open to talking about local farming, religion, and everything in between. Really great insights into Arusha and Tanzanian culture from a local - the exact reason you’d be interested in this tour in the first place. Everyone was super nice along the way and we even came away from the tour with a couple of bottles of banana wine that it seems like we would have had a really tough time getting our hands on otherwise. If you’re looking for a unique, memorable, and truly authentic experience while visiting Arusha, we can’t recommend this tour enough.

A very interesting...

A very interesting afternoon visiting off the beaten path locations and learning more about the history, politics and food in Tanzania. Recommend this tour if you want to see the real Arusha and how the locals live.

Discover a local community with locals!

Jackson and Given were great at showing me around the neighborhood, they shared lots of interesting information and were very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the foodie treats along our walk and am grateful to them for showing me a side of Arusha that I wouldn’t have ventured on my own. They kindly helped me organize a taxi and waited for me whilst I did some last minute shopping at the market.
