Customer Reviews
Die Tour war einfach perfekt. Der Guide war super nett und kompetent, er kannte sich sehr gut aus und hat sich extrem viel Mühe gegeben. Es war eine wirklich tolle Erfahrung an die wir lange zurückdenken werden.
We had a great tour through the old town with john. He is very knowledgeable. We particularly enjoyed walking through the old-town alleyways that we would not have seen otherwise. Good coomunication beforehand as well. Thumbs up!
Silvance is a real nice and funny guide. We learned a lot about the Fort and the other places. The Tour takes about 3 h and whilst passing the old town we could have spent more time there. Overall a amazing experiance in mombasa and also the trip to there by car.
