Davis M2024-12-08Verified Incredible Experience Around Arusha City I was skeptical about this at the beginning but still decided to give it a chance. It was very positivity surprised by how nice my tour guide was, he picked me up from my hotel and took me around the city, he speak perfect English and made me feel safe throughout the whole trip. Honestly I cannot recommend this one enough, if you want to see this incredible city through the eyes of local. Thanks you so much Israel (my absolutely great tour guide for sharing this information and experience with me). It was definitely a day that will stay in my memory forever. sarell962024-12-07Verified A fascinating walking tour of Arusha with a superb guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Arusha with Israel. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and people of Arusha and Tanzania. He is also very flexible and responsive and we felt that we had an authentic experience of visiting the city, its markets and attractions. As important, it was great fun and Israel is a fabulous guide. Do not hesitate to book!

He was also mindful of our small kids (7 and 12 years old) he make sure to make them enjoying the tour and give them the top priority and the kids they come to love so much Israel. Israel he took us to the difference places in the city that we didn't expect to visit but with him we done and make so much photos and with help of Israel we feel so comfortable to do that. Thank you again Israel! Eric B2024-11-30Verified Amazing guided tour by Israel Israel was a wonderful guide who taught me so much about the historic and cultural city of Arusha in the north region of Tanzania. I learned a lot of the German history at the museum, and then we visited multiple markets to learn about how the people live their daily lives. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn a little more about Arusha before or after their Safari. Karl F2024-11-27Verified Fantastic trip. Five star Fabulous- every day is a school day! I would recommend this trip for couples, friends, solo and family travellers. Christopher the guide is friendly, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He has a route planned but is flexible and generous with her time. We started at the top of the natural history museum. The group was small and there's was no pleasure on time.I recommend this trip for any tourist around Liora J2024-11-27Verified Highly recommend Arusha walking city tour!

The tour was designed well and we started by visit the natural history museum, Tanzaninite museum and shop, maasai market, local food market, cultural heritage and art gallery and I love so much the local street and food market and is one of the places without local guide is difficult to visit and to be comfortable.Christine was very friendly and maintained welfare of the group Mila G2024-11-26Verified A lovely explore through Arusha with a friendly guide Wonderful tour we really felt like a friend, learning about the history of Arusha abd Tanzania too, abd taking routes around the city we would not have discovered!
