★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 393 reviews · from $50

Explore Mombasa’s spice market, Old Town, fish market, and Fort Jesus with a private local guide on a flexible 2 to 4 hour walking tour.

“The tour was good for me. Humphrey covered the key features of the Fort Jesus site, and shared a great bit of details about the Portuguese, Omani, and British incursions in this area.

To add insult to injury, when he arrived he didn’t come straight to where we were, he went to a kiosk to purchase something. It was the other tour guides in the area who identified him for us.
