Mombasa Unveiled: Half-Day Coastal Charm & History Tour

I was picked up at my hotel in Diani and taken to downtown Mombasa with other participants. The tour was excellent as guided by Mr Kombo who translated in both French and English. Mr Timothy Katana at Baobab resort was very knowledgeable about the tours offered and he booked for me the tour guided by Mr Kombo. It was an awesome birthday gift. I am truly indebted to this two men. Highly recommended. Tim New York, USA

We were collected from our hotel and riven to Mombasa where a number of other coaches joined us and we were split up into various groups depending on our language and each group had their own guide. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. A special word for the driver who manged to circumnavigate some large traffic jams to enable us to get back to our hotel at a reasonable time

The tour of Mombasa was a good and professional experience. It should deserve 5 dots on Tripadvisor, but 1 dot must be deducted for an awful process of collecting participants from various hotels for over 1 hour. It would have been much better to charge us an additional $$$ per person and avoid that waste of our time. Our guide was of a high quality; very knowledgeable, great personality, good English. The tour hits the most important sites of Mombasa. There is a choice also between a full-day tour and 1/2 a day tour. Please refer to the pictures which I have attached to this message to see for yourself.

Thanks for the great trip. Was definitely worth it. We had a great tour guide and bus driver. Learned a lot about Mombasa's history and culture.

You might be able to go around the town, but it's a lot better to have a local citizen to tell you about the history of the city.

The tour comprized Fort Jesus, the old town and the market. I could have managed For Jesus by myself, but guiding gave some stories. The old town I could not have managed myself. The guide showed me the different house styles of the swahili, indian, arab and colonial tie, again with stories. The bazaar and the market Place were worth seeing.

Probably the only thing in Mombasa that we found interesting. Had a nice lunch in Old Town but many shops were closed. Lots of trash and not pleasant walking around.

The mombassa city tour booked through the travel company. We visited a Hindu temple, woodcarving village, fortress jesus and the old town. For the price I found the sights offered a bit summary. There was still a lunch included.
