Our guide Petrus was amazing. Very informative about the history and sites we saw. Our tour was 3 hours and got a really good overview . My personal highlight was going to a local market and tastings the beef.
I would also recommend going to the museum, on the tour you visit the outside, make enough time in your schedule so you can go back.

Hi Peter 🤗🤩
Wow, thank you for such a great review! Petrus is going to be so happy to hear your compliments, honestly he truly loves sharing our history with guests. It sounds like you had an amazing 3 hours, especially at the local market! We also love your recommendation to revisit the museum, it’s definitely worth a deeper look and your advice is very much welcomed. 🤗
Safe travels, and we hope to host you again!❤️
Windhoek isn't a big city but it has some interesting history. Petrus was an excellent guide and showed us both city and townshipwith good humour and plenty of historical knowledge.

Hi Andrew 🤩🤝
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
While Windhoek may be small, its story is incredibly vast, and we are so glad you got to see the contrast and history of both the city and the township.
Petrus takes great pride in sharing his knowledge with a smile, and your praise will mean the world to him.🙏🏻
Thank you so much for support and We hope to welcome you back to Namibia someday!🤗🤗🤗🤗

I was not expecting a private tour which made it even better value. John was an excellent driver/guide. We will be self driving around Namibia but wanted to know some history to provide context before we did. This tour, and John in particular, did just that. Highly recommend

Great experience on this tour. Petrus was fantastic and had a wonder personality. Enjoyed the historical sites and history, but really the highlight was visiting the Township Katutura. IMHO, a must see.

It touches our hearts deeply that your visit to Katutura Township was the highlight of your tour. Connecting our guests with the real, vibrant history and local communities of Namibia is exactly why we do what we do.
Petrus will be overjoyed to hear your kind words about his personality !

I booked the Windhoek city tour on short notice when I found I was free until the afternoon. Kavana Tours were able to get me on the 9am tour with Petreus, who was a wonderful guide.
I wasn’t quite sure how it would go, but it far exceeded my expectations.
I appreciate the tour covered the Katutura Township with just as much attention as the city. This was my first full day in Namibia and in Windhoek, and I was able to learn so much about the history and important sites. And given it was less than four hours, I particularly liked how much I learned about daily life in Windhoek and Katutura.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Dear client,🤗
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We are absolutely thrilled that we could accommodate your last minute booking. It means a lot to us that you appreciated our focus on Katutura, as sharing the full history and daily reality of our city is very close to our hearts.

Fantastic tour experience, the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I’m very happy I decided to book this tour rather than explore Windhoek by myself because he took me around places I wouldn’t have seen without a local guide. Also I asked for additional places to visit and it was accommodated without any issue. Amazing experience, would highly recommend!!

Had a great day with Saul, a university student studying tourism management. He not only showed me the city sites and answered a lot of questions about Windhoek, its history, and Namibian life, he was flexible and generously allowed me to do extra things (example: when visiting the old train station, he said there was an interesting museum attached that displayed a lot of the German Colonialism era. I asked if we could see, and he said "sure, let's go in"). I felt lucky to have him as my guide.

We love going off-script to explore places like the train station museum when our guests show interest, as diving into Namibia's complex history is what makes these experiences so special.We will certainly pass your incredibly kind words along to Saul—he will be proud to know he made you feel lucky to have him as a guide. Thank you for booking with us, and we hope your travels bring you back to Namibia again soon. Thank you 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
John was positively remarkable in every way. From our timely pick up to his friendly and knowledgeable personality, he was an absolute delight. This is my second time taking this tour and it was absolutely worth every penny. JOHN is an absolute treasure. He is excellent at his job.

This was an excellent tour for first time visitors to Windhoek to get the lay of the land, and Peter was an excellent guide! He knows the city inside and out. I booked the tour last minute, and received confirmation quickly, a very smooth process. Trying kapana in the food market was definitely a highlight as well.
The tour guide was engaged and knowledgeable- we had a few hours in Windhoek and we are so glad we got the tour
It is a good tour of the key landmarks of Windhoek. We also went around Katutura and its different sections. Very informative and enjoyable city tour.
Very nice tour. In essence, a sweet inexpensive tour for all ages. Andre is an excellent tour guide. He is caring, courteous, and safety minded. This is a great opportunity to learn about the history of this wonderful city.
A very good tour. The guide Petrus did his job very well. He explained the historical reality very well and made me understand the complexity of the country.
