Fun for Foodies

We had a great tour of Nairobis street gastronomy. The guide, Grace, was an excellent host and we had a lovely few hours in her company trying the various tastes of Kenyas street food.

Food tour

Enjoyed the food, enjoyed learning from Grace. Did not realize I had to pay for the food during it, but the price was so more than reasonable that was OK.

I could taste real Nairobi

I’m sure I could go to places where I would never visit if I’m alone. Foods my guide introduced me were all tasty. I recommend this tour everyone who wants to know the deep food culture in Nairobi.
