Top Kenya Walking Tours

Tim had so much knowledge and was very personal how he taught us about Kenya and Nairobi. His grasp of our lack of any knowledge didn’t phase him at all. His explanations were spot on!

Michael and Derrick with incredible. Worth every penny! An all day experience that ends with a unique surprise.

An Amazing Introduction to Nairobi – Ask for “City Boy” Michael! My husband and I had the most wonderful day exploring Nairobi with Intrepid Tours before heading off on our safari, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this incredible city.Our guide, Michael — who affectionately calls himself “City Boy” — was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of Nairobi was exceptional, and his passion and pride for his city really shone through. He was friendly, funny, informative and made the whole day so enjoyable. We learnt so much about Nairobi’s history, culture and everyday life, and Michael was always happy to answer our questions.We saw so much during the tour, including the vibrant markets, museums, historic parts of the city and many of Nairobi’s main attractions. It was wonderful to experience the city from a local’s perspective rather than simply passing through as tourists.The city disco bus was another highlight — so much fun and a great way to see even more of Nairobi. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and had plenty of laughs along the way!Lunch was also fantastic. The restaurant was lovely, the atmosphere was great and the food was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect chance to sit back, relax and enjoy some wonderful Kenyan flavours.This tour gave us such a memorable first taste of Nairobi and really set the scene for the safari that followed. We would highly recommend the Intrepid Nairobi City Tour, especially if you’re visiting Nairobi for the first time.And if you can, ask for Michael — “City Boy”! His knowledge, personality and genuine love for Nairobi made our day very special. We’ll definitely remember our time with him for a long time to come.Thank you, Michael, for showing us your amazing city! 🇰🇪❤️

A+ tour from start to finish. Tim went above and beyond, and I'm so thankful to have a very patient, polite, and knowledgeable tour guide throughout the entire day. I learned so much from him about Kenya's culture that I never knew before. Transportation also gets an A+!!!

We are a family of four from Canada and had a great day touring the city with Michael “city boy”. He was enthusiastic, engaging and thoughtful during our tour, frequently checking in with us to answer questions and ensuring that we were close by in crowds. We had originally booked a half day walking tour that included the National archives but he presented us with a full day option that included a matatu bus ride, giraffe experience and bead workshop. Everything went smoothly - we learned a lot about the city and history of Kenya and had tons of fun on the bus and feeding the giraffes.

My tour guide Michael was knowledgeable good energy and fun made the tour quite enjoyable along with a delicious lunch

Excellent service and a very nice introduction to Nairobi. Would not have appreciated Kenya’s history without this introduction.

I had a good day with Tim. I learnt a lot about Kenya and its history on this trip. Anyone interested in culture and history will definitely enjoy it.

My guide Michael was amazing extremely knowledgeable and kind. I enjoyed my day.

Excellent tour! Our guide Michael gave us an excellent experience & we highly recommend him via Intrepid. We also organised other tours with Michael & he did everything to make us see the sites we wanted to & have an excellent experience. Thank you.

We had an incredible time on this tour, and our guide, Michael, was beyond amazing! His energy was contagious from start to finish. He showed us sides of Nairobi we never would have explored on our own, including the vibrant matatu culture and the bustling business district. We also visited the giraffe sanctuary and the bead factory—which turned out to be beyond interesting! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect with the bead factory, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how fascinating the whole process was.Michael is exceptionally knowledgeable and went above and beyond for our group—he helped us find ATMs, reliable FOREX bureaus, and great local souvenir shops with fair prices. Most importantly, he made sure everyone felt completely comfortable and safe the entire time, effortlessly managing crowds and street vendors so we could simply enjoy the sights. Experiencing Nairobi through the eyes of such a skilled local guide made all the difference. Highly recommended!

We had an awesome time and Michael took us out of our comfort zone in order to experience the local culture. The morning included the highlights of the city, followed by a walk through the local streets including visiting the large area of textile workers. Michael ensured we were safe at all times and booked us a bus ride on one of the public ‘entertainment’ buses. The loud music, rocking bus and driving around the roundabout 4 times was an experience we will never forget. The visit to the Giraffe centre, although very crowded with tourists, was informative and enjoyable. A wonderful day out! Thank you Michael

A bit of a miscommunication as to where to be picked up from but that was resolved after a short while. Initially thought it would be a half day tour but very happy to do the full day and the price was acceptable. Michael was very knowledgeable and mixed the events to cover cultural, historical and local. The museum was very interesting and the guide was good too. The local bus was something I’d never have considered but it was very memorable (and LOUD) lol The giraffe sanctuary was quite crowded but so great to be that close to them. All in all a once in a lifetime experience ✅

This tour was a great way to see Nairobi safely with a local. There were only three if us on the tour so Michael was able to tailor some of the tour to our interests. I particularly liked seeing the fabric stalls and tailors, the Maasai market and the busy streets of Nairobi with the noise, the people, the food and the colourful buses. Lunch was included which was great. Michael was an amazing host and made sure everyone got what they wanted out of the tour. I also saw Michael at my hotel where he checked to make sure my airpprt transfers were looked after.

We had a fabulous day with Michael(foundly nicknamed Mick 🤣). He was so informative, positive and showed us everything we wanted to see and more! We booked a 2nd tour with him the next day and; again has a fabulous time. Highly recommend Michael! Thanks so much for your time 🌟🫶🏾🎉

Michael took exceptional care of our group of 16 travelers! We got an amazing and detailed overview of Nairobi, visited multiple sights and museums - we did way more in a half day than we would have accomplished in a full day on our own. Michael is incredibly passionate and caring, the best guide you could have!
