    When in Dar es Salaam, this tour is a must!

    Matilde_S, May 2025
    Bernard is passionate about his city Dar es Salaam. He told us about its history, old and modern, architecture, religion, society, art and music. To have lunch in Akemi, a revolving restaurant with magnificent views, was a plus. We were taken around the city by a driver in a comfortable A/C minivan. We even visited a supermarket and a bookshop for last minute items we where looking for. It was our priviledge to meet this young, enthusiastic man! Look for him at DW and BBC videos. We recommend 100% this tour when visiting Tanzania.

    Great experience!

    This was a fantastic tour. We visited diverse locations and I learned a lot about the history, architecture, and rich culture of Dar and country as a whole. Bernard is wonderful - enthusiastic, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Pacing of the tour was spot-on; the scope and content were appropriate for all ranges of visitors. Bernard was very proactive in communicating beforehand, and was flexible and prompt. I had a great time and would highly recommend this to other visitors!
