Akor_A, Oct 2022
This was a fantastic tour. Anthony was a very knowledgeable guide. We did a walking tour of the Old City, Fort Jesus, Mama Ngina Waterfront and a some of the new city of Mombasa including the Elephant Tusks. Anthony was kind enough to provide some water and some rides between spots in the TukTuk when you get tired. Also never got tired of taking my pictures haha or waiting while souvenir shopping.
He had an answer for every question on the history of Mombasa. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience Mombasa and learn about its history.
Anthony was also very helpful with recommending other activities e.g Haller Park, Snorkelling in Wasini.
