This walking food tour in Kampala left me absolutely delighted. The tour took me through vibrant neighborhoods, each with its unique charm. I sampled a variety of mouthwatering street foods, each bursting with flavor. At the end of the tour, I also visited a fantastic buffet offering a tasting of numerous local dishes, allowing me to discover new favorites. What truly elevated this experience was my tour guide, Andrew. His passion for Kampala was contagious. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the history and culture of Uganda. Andrew's friendly and engaging personality made the tour very enjoyable. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Kampala, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Your taste buds and your heart will thank you!
