I would definitely recommend Daniel as your guide. Daniel was an excellent tour guide. He was punctual, very polite and easy to get along with, and he showed us all the important historical places that we definitely would have missed if we attempted to do this without a guide. The history of Nairobi easily rolled out as time passed, from the 1800s to contemporary incidences. He even helped us with getting an uber at the end of the tour (as it was our first day in Nairobi).

Patrick Solomon was the best guide I ever could have hoped for—he took us to several interesting places I never would have seen on my own, explained all kinds of historical background and context, took us to a famous coffee shop, and even treated us to a delicious fruit plate. I highly recommend Patrick and this tour—a fantastic way to begin a trip to Nairobi!
