5Mombasa tour
Anthony was very passionate and knowledgeable of the tour. I would recommend him to my friends who visit mombasa
5Great option if you want to visit Mombasa City center
Lucas was a great tour guide. Recommended to visit Mombasa city center.
5Great experience for visiting old town
Very good experience. Lucas, our tour guide, was very nice and attentive. He showed us around, answer questions with a smile and even took a couple of pictures. Don’t go by yourself to old town, take a guide like Lucas instead. Recommended!

5Exceptional Mombasa City Tour with Antony
Antony is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of Mombasa, and he shared it with such passion and ease that the experience felt both informative and engaging. He guided us through the city’s historical stages, from indigenous Swahili rule to Portuguese, Omani, British colonial, and finally Kenyan independence, bringing each era to life in a memorable way. Beyond being an outstanding guide, he was also kind and accommodating, happily taking us to a few additional places we wanted to see. Antony is a true gentleman, and I would highly recommend booking him.

About Mombasa
Mombasa is Kenya's main port, an old Swahili island city on the Indian Ocean with a Portuguese fort, a narrow old town and palm-lined beaches.
Mombasa stands on an island joined to the mainland by bridges and a causeway, and it has been a trading port for many centuries, visited by Arab, Persian, Portuguese and Indian merchants. Fort Jesus, a coral-stone fort built by the Portuguese in the 1590s, is listed by UNESCO and stands above the entrance to the old harbour. Behind it, the Old Town has narrow lanes, balconies and carved wooden doors.
Top-ranked sights in Mombasa: Fort Jesus, Haller Park.
