I traveled with my mother. Our guides, Aminah and Rama treated us very well. They were so knowledgeable and protected us in the chaotic situation. We felt this tour was so safe! It was amazing experience. Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful walking tour with Habib and she took us to parts of the city we would never have seen otherwise. The rolex stop was amazing and it’s definitely our top snack from now on. Great experience!
Zaynab was truly a remarkable guide. She showed me around Kampala from a local's perspective and provided me with lots of information regarding the history and culture of Uganda/Kampala. All the places she took me to were very interesting and would have not been able to reach on my own. Highly recommend taking this tour!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback.
We’re delighted to hear that **Zaynab** gave you such an insightful experience exploring Kampala from a local perspective. It’s great to know you enjoyed learning about Uganda’s history and culture and discovering places you wouldn’t have found on your own.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future
If you want to experience the heart of Kampala, the uptown and downtown, the hustle and bustle of the Owina market, you wont be disapppinted.
If you have a spirit for adventure, you should surely try this. Take water, sunscreen and a hat and Local currency in cash to buy at the markets. The Buganda market is more expensive than Owina where you can get anything!
Habib was a great guide. Kind and knowledgeable.
Just be clear about how to get back to your hotel after the tour as ubers are nit always available in some areas and you will need to take a boda boda, which is fun.
The information on the history of Uganda was also very well presented.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that the tour gave you a real feel of Kampala’s energy, from uptown and downtown to the vibrant markets. Exploring places like Owino and Buganda Market can be quite the adventure, and we’re glad you enjoyed diving into the heart of the city.
We’re also happy to hear that Habib made the experience comfortable and insightful. She’s very passionate about sharing Uganda’s history and guiding guests safely through the busiest parts of Kampala.
Your practical tips about water, sunscreen, cash and transport are truly appreciated. They will definitely help future travelers prepare better.
Thank you again for choosing to explore with us. We hope to welcome you back for more discoveries in Uganda.
Warm regards,

Great way to see Kampala with a local guide. We walked a decent amount, but it wasn't too strenuous and there were a lot of attractions around one area. I also appreciate the mission of the tour in working to get women more involved in the tourism industry. Would recommend :)

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that the walking tour was a perfect balance of exploration and comfort. We’re proud of our mission to empower women in the tourism industry, and we’re glad you appreciated that aspect of the tour. Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope to guide you again soon!
A culturally enriching experience that I would recommend. I was late and Sarah was understanding of it and we managed to see everything in a shorter amount of time as I had to rush to the airport. I enjoyed the tour and the delicious Rolex I got from the taxi park.
Beautiful tour of downtown Kampala, combining urban chaos, food presentation at the market, historical and religious places. Friendly guide who knows the city well and adapts to the preferences of "walkers".
