I had a nice experience, but what made it whort while was my tour guide which is Faith! I doubt I would have had such lovely experience if she wasn’t my guide! Nairobi is a beautiful place in between!
My husband and I had an amazing day with Denish as our driver guide and Purity as the trainee assistant. Our tour covered all the mentioned places in the itinerary and we never felt rushed. Would highly recommend them when you plan to do a Nairobi day tour.
It was great to see the city, the culture and more but our tour guide did arrive almost an hour late and when we offered to buy our tour guide lunch at our stop he got the most expensive item on the menu… it was fun though.
Exceptional Nairobi Experience with Faith Faith delivered an absolutely outstanding Nairobi experience! From the city tour to the Giraffe Centre, cultural dances, and the Karen Blixen Museum, every part of the day was perfectly organized and deeply engaging. Faith is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and professional, and she brought each location to life with insightful stories and clear explanations. The Nairobi city tour was informative and well-paced, giving a great overview of the city’s history and culture. The visit to the Giraffe Centre was a highlight—well-timed and enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities to learn and interact. The cultural dances were vibrant, authentic, and truly memorable, offering a beautiful insight into Kenya’s diverse traditions. The Karen Blixen Museum tour was especially impressive, with Faith providing rich historical context that made the experience even more meaningful. Faith’s attention to detail, punctuality, and genuine passion for her work made the entire tour seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a well-rounded, memorable, and professionally guided Nairobi tour. An unforgettable experience from start to finish!
The tour of Nairobi was amazing! Our guide, Faith, was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and the people. Loved seeing the giraffes and the bead factory. Seeing the dancers from different tribes was a highlight for me. I learned so much and Faith really took her time with us. Highly recommend! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The city views were amazing! My tour guides Denish and Purity were so much fun to hang out with for the day. They were also very knowledgeable on the history of the city, and even made sure I had the best Kenyan lunch. Would definitely book again!
The host was a great guy very nice and informative Good driving and very friendly would definitely recommend to friends and family
This tour was a very nice intro to a later full tour of Nairobi/Safari. Enjoyed the sights of each stop. I do need to comment that the guide, Dennis, who was polite and mostly informative, would leave me with another guide at the venues and fall asleep nearby or be on his phone, which was a bit disconcerting. Also, a possible scam with lunch. After ordering, I asked guide to sit with me as I didn't really want to eat alone. Went to curio shop nearby while food was coming. Came back to eat, waitress telling me Dennis wanted to eat alone in gazebo nearby. OK, I thought. When bill came to me, it was for 2 meals ($70 USD). It was not expected, but I didn't want to create a problem, as I was on my first day in a new country and had 4 more hours in his solo company. I felt taken advantage of as a new female tourist, and was not happy about it. But otherwise, it was a very nice day tour of exciting venues and sights and I enjoyed it alot!
We had an amazing day with Melvin. He arrived on time and was kind, friendly and polite. Melvin was flexible and allowed plenty of time at each activity. His knowledge of the wildlife was impressive and he could answer all of our questions. His sense of humour was great too. We enjoyed every moment of our tour and would definitely book with Melvin at Rustic Nature Tours again.
Great tour with Dennis. He was prompt and arrived in a clean car. City tour was thorough and informative. Loved our individualized attention at the giraffe center with a local center guide. The visit to the bead/leather center was very moving in that these woman are flourishing in hardship conditions. Had a delicious lunch in a garden setting that was a nice break to a very full tour. Finished the tour off at the Bomas of Kenya. Loved seeing the tribal villages where we learned that the man’s first wife gets the biggest house. That was a fun tidbit. The cultural performances were colorful and lived the music accompaniment. Finished the tour off with Dennis getting us back to our hotel in time for our second tour. Great company and driver!
Our guide was great. He arrived on time and even agreed to modify our route to accommodate our request. Excellent place for lunch and everything was completed on time. Enjoyed Bomas show very much!
Rustic Nature Tours and our licensed tour guide Kelvin were fantastic! My family and I very much enjoyed spending time learning about Nairobi, sight seeing, and tasting the delicacies. If you want a professional tour that will serve your family or group well, then look no further. Rustic Nature Tours offered a memorable experience.
Denish was a great guide. He picked us up on time and honored our request for some itinerary modification. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed our conversations. Absolutely worth the price and a great way to spend a day in Nairobi!! And driving through the rush hour here is something you have to experience once in your lifetime 🙂.
My husband and I had an amazing day tour with Denish when we visited Nairobi in June 2024. He picked us up early from our hotel at 8am and we had a day full of exploring the city, visiting Giraffe center, seeing cultural dances and learning about traditional Kenyan villages. We even stopped for souvenirs and lunch. Denish was so kind, patient, professional and friendly and he knew EVERYTHING there was to know about the city and history. We had such a great time on our tour. If you vist Nairobi this tour is a MUST if you'd like to see alot in one day. Ask for Denish and you have an amazing day guaranteed!
Very much enjoyed our day with Denis seeing the sights of Nairobi. Denis took us to everything we had wanted to see and was flexible in the timing to suit our preferences. Highlights were feeding the giraffes and seeing the cultural performance at BOMAS. Highly recommended.
Denis was a fantastic guide who gave us an excellent tour of Nairobi! Would highly recommend this to everyone. It is a fantastic way to spend your time in Nairobi, which Denis made very special from start to finish.
I had a day to spare in Nairobi before heading home. This was the perfect way to spend the day. My guide Denis was friendly, courteous and punctual. He took me to the Memorial Peace Museum, the Kenyan International Conference Centre where l had a magnificent view of the city, the Giraffe Centre (my favourite) where l got to feed the giraffes, and a bead making place where they show the stages involved in turning rocks from Mount Kenya into jewellery. Lunch is at your own expense but it’s quite tasty and not pricey. Finally l was taken to the Bomas of Kenya which is fun and entertaining. Overall l really got a feel for Nairobi. I highly recommend this tour.
Faith was a great guide, and took some great pictures of me, always helpful for a solo traveler! Had a great first day in Kenya!
This was a great travel/vacation jump starter. It broke the ice of being in a new country by the touring of the memorial, city and observatory. After that, we visited the Giraffe Center, women refuge and then had lunch. After lunch we visited the Bomas for dancing and live entertainment. We ended the tour with the history of Kenyan tribes and visited their reconstructed villages.
Dennis was the most knowledgeable guide. He took us to many sites during our city walk. We went to the memorial and the observatory. He took us to the city for shopping, the Giraffe Center, and Bomas. He stayed with us during the end of the Bomas village history tour. He went above and beyond with explaining Kenyan tribes. Thank you Dennis.
This was an amazing, full day tour of Nairobi! Denis, our tour guide for the day, was absolutely wonderful. He provided us with great information about Nairobi and the stops we were making along the tour. He was very patient with my mother and I, answering all our questions and allowing us additional time to look around and shop at the various stops. This was a full day tour but it was so worth it! Would highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Nairobi for the first time or looking to experience what the city has to offer. Would highly recommend Denis as a tour guide and driver as well!
An amazing tour ,ade even better with our guide, Faith. She helped take excellent videos of us feeding the giraffes. Upon request, she took us to a small eatery for an authentic local cuisine. Delicious . Nomas cultural show was very enjoyable. Recommend you specifically request Faith as you guide.
Awesome tour made even better with Faith our tour guide. Value for the money. Did not know it was a private tour so it was just my wife and I. This was a very pleasant surprise. Faith also helped take super memorable videos of us feeding the giraffes. This was our 2nd time there and still loved it. A definite bucket list item. Being Foodies, upon request, she took us to a small eatery to enjoy local food. Reasonably priced and enjoyable. She can also take you to the famous Carnivore Restaurant if you wish. The Bomas show was a very enjoyable cultural experience worth doing. Overall we had a great time. We would highly recommend asking specifically for Faith as your guide. You won't be disappointed.
I loved this experience done with a knowledgeable guide, Kelvin. We first went to the rooftop where he explained the different divisions of Nairobi for a better understanding. He also gave good tips on how to get the best pictures with the giraffes And the boma show was also very great. I would recommend.
This tour provided a nice introduction to Nairobi with a variety of cultural activities led by a knowledgeable, accommodating tour guide. Would highly recommend.
