    What a great way to experience Entebbe !
    We recently did the morning walking tour with Arthur. It is such a fantastic way to see Entebbe. Arthur is so knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time with him. There is such great history of Entebbe to be learned. The walk is an easy pace and you get to take in all the main historical sights as well as the Botanical Gardens. Love our day hanging out with Arthur ! Can not recommend this tour enough !

    Experience Kampala
    I give the highest score. My tour guide Ronald was super funny and likable, and he expertly led me to the agreed-upon stops. The visit to the mosque was very impressive. From the minaret, you have a superb view over the city. Thanks again for one of the most beautiful days I've had in Uganda so far.

    Great experience in Kampala city.
    My guide, Andrew was a very nice, reliable person and a reliable experienced tour guide. We could spend really a good time throughout the tour. He was flexible enough to arrange our stops based on my wish. I definitely recommend to try this tour when you come to Kampala especially for the first time.

    Jinja solo experience
    First, I booked my trip really late and initially thought it was short notice for the company and I wouldn’t make it. But they came through for me, as a solo traveller, the pickup car was right on time and my guide Andrew gave me the best experience, from exploring local delicacies to even enjoying myself on the road and different places. My favorite was the Ssesibwa falls, lots of history there!!! And of course I got to experience the Nile beer on the Nile River, which was just beautiful, I learnt a lot of facts about both Nile River and Lake Victoria. The Jinja village tour was also a great experience and I was able to do some shopping as well. But, next time use a car with windows that are clear and not tinted, I would have loved to take videos during the drive but couldn’t because I couldn’t clearly see the outside. But, all in all it was a beautiful experience, I also recommend one to spend the night over in Jinja as this was a packed day from 7am to 6pm. Traffic was just messy too.

    Excellent private walking tour in Kampala
    We had a very interesting private walking tour in Kampala. Andrew was a very nice, knowledgeable guide, who guided us to a restaurant with local food and helped us also to get a SIM card. Communication with Arthur to organize the tailored tour was easy.

    Touring the botanical gardens
    Viola was a wonderful guide she took us to the botanical gardens. We talked about the life in Entebbe, the culture and the values of the Ugandan people. She really tries to get up on a boat a boat to return home, which was a lot of fun.

    Enjoyable Walking Tour!
    We arrived fresh off our flight into Entebbe to a lovely interactive and fun walking tour with Arthur. We enjoyed our chat with him over rolexes, and found him to be knowledgeable, personable and professional throughout our walking tour. We walked from up town to down town, checked out the Saturday market (very interesting!), the Botanical Gardens and its assorted wildlife and generally had us a wonderful afternoon to ease us into our Ugandan adventure. Highly recommended!

    Best Cultural Activity I Had in One Month in Uganda
    Best cultural experience of my one month in Uganda. The host couple are warm, articulate and enthusiastic. I had the best time in both market and preparing the meal. Two neighbors joined in "teaching" me. Everyone spoke English and educated me about culture and life as well as food. I highly recommend this experience.

    The tour was very insightful and I would recommend it for anyone who wants to experience downtown Kampala. It's good to go with the guide who can give you some background information and navigates you safely through the busy places.

    Great tour with local experts!
    Great tour with Andrew all the day to/from Kampala. Really appreciated that we also met with local guides at each stop - Sezibwa falls, Mabira rainforest and the Nile river boat trip. The local guides had excellent local knowledge and were able to respond to all our questions. Also appreciated that we were able to stay longer at some sites, and that there was some flexibility in the programme. Definitely recommend!

I did a food tour in Entebbe with Arthur, WOW, make sure to bring an appetite. We tried so much food, including grasshoppers at the end!! (They’re not so bad 😂). Had a great time!

The food tour brought as to a local market where we tried a mango and a watermelon which is sad because there are so many different fruits to try and explore. Afterwards we had a Rolex first on the street and then in a restaurant. They were nice but you don‘t have to go on a tour to try a Rolex since you can eat them at an place on town. Then we went to a restaurant to eat a typical dish, and then to another restaurant to eat piece of meat.
In general the tour wasn‘t very informative, i would have loved to hear more about the tradition and culture the food is based in. You had to ask many questions in order to hear any details. Also the tour was way too long (11-4.30) because the distances between the places were too big, also we also just waited and waited at many places in order to go on.
The girl was very nice though, and the food was of good quality. But nothing you could not experience going once or twice to an African restaurant 👌🏼
