This was a great tour. Informative, real and you come away knowing Kampala. The addition of the fishing village is very much worthwhile and a highlight to my day. Henry is very knowledgeable and nothing is too much. I would recommend this trip without hesitation and do the add on of the fishing village!

The tour was really amazing . It willl allows you to know more about the life in Uganda. It was really nice to have Henry as a guide . He is really professional and he even came to pick me up at my hotel while it was not included in the tour.
I really recommend it .

The whole experience was outstanding, even though i was recovering from a stomach virus.
Irene was a great guide... Knowledgeable and friendly.

The tour was good but way too expensive. The mosque, museum, and kasubi tombs entrance fees aren’t included and aren’t cheap, would have preferred to know these amounts ahead of time and pay them up front. Good tour, but too much money to recommend to a friend.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much Patrick for taking the time to share your feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our tour
Since Kasubi tombs entrance doubled to 20$ from 10$ last month we made it optional to visit. The museum and mosque entrance is 4$ and 7$ in respectively and we are going to show it in details for more transparency to our customers.
We're grateful for customers like you
because your review also helps us to continue improving our tours and providing the best possible experience for our customers. We take all feedback seriously and use it to make positive changes.
Thanks again for your review and for helping us grow!

I had an amazing day with Henry, we saw everything on the full day itinerary and more! He was very knowledgeable throughout and as a solo female traveller felt very safe in the madness of Kampala with him and his driver Derek. The sites were great, I experienced Taxi and boda boda (motorbike) rides and the fishing village was incredible. I recommend highly!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much Heather. Glad you liked the tour more especially the fishing village. We hope to see you again in the future 😊

The tour was a great experience. It's the perfect way to get to know Kampala and learn some things about the city and the history of Uganda.
Henry is a very nice guy and you can always ask him if you have any questions. Even after the tour was finished he showed me around some other places I wanted to see.
So I can highly recommend doing the tour with him.

I had been to Uganda previously and did the touristy stuff...Equator, Source of the Nile, Buganda compound. I had a great time during that trip.
This trip I found Henry and had an absolutely amazing time! I was able to experience the day as a Kampala local and believe me, it was an entirely different experience. Henry's tour combined the best of local Kampala in a single full-day tour.
Henry was helpful in answering questions about the culture, geography, and the political climate of the country. The food options were amazing, especially the roasted chicken and plantains. YUM!
Watching Henry navigate the congested traffic was entertaining, and he made sure to point out things of interest.
Very importantly, Henry let us know when and where we could take photos, and even negotiated photo opportunities for us (some Ugandans don't like photos). It was helpful to uavr him close by when buying souvenirs as he knows the local value if things and can help you negotiate price.
This tour really made my 2nd visit to Uganda memorable, and made me sad to leave. The tour is worth every penny, and honestly for all that's included I would have paid more.
I wasn't able to do the Ndere option, but if you tour on the right day may very well be worth it.
