We enjoyed the tour of the downtown area with the former Street boys. They are personal histories are amazing and we enjoyed hearing their goals and dreams.

I did this trip right after some floods in Nairobi and even if it was tough, it was nice to understand the reality of life in the slums of Nairobi, and of course to contribute a little bit in giving them a salary. Apart this, it was amazing to move around some parts of Nairobi that as a solo white woman traveler, may have been impossible. Also to understand everything and being able to do as many questions as possible. So, totally recommend doing this tour to get to know from the inside the real Nairobi.

What an incredible experience - easily one of the best I've ever had travelling! Typhoon, Quick, King, and Priest are all extremely kind and have a very inspiring story. It was great to learn about their journey and it is incredible the positive impact they're having on their community. I feel very grateful to have met them and I am walking away from this day with a lot of great new insights and memories. Don't hesitate to book them :)

After meeting the boys from the hood around 10am, we went on an adventure through the "rougher" side of town which lasted around 2h 30mins. The perspectives and experiences they shared with us by telling their live stories were astounding, shocking & impressive at the same time and later made us reflect on our own lives. After all, it was a great tour with great guys.

We were with Kissmart, Quick and Priest. We were so delayed for the 130 tour due to traffic in Rift Valley, but our guide got in touch w them, and they waited for us. They were so nice to talk to and walking around the city with them made me feel safer. We did cut our tour short due to time issues and having to leave for the airport. Their respective stories are so inspirational to others. They are doing great work for the needy in their city. Thank you for being you!

These former street kids are brilliant! They experienced a lot and we got a lot of insights in their life, the places where they stayed and felt really safe with them. It was great fun! Also the food in the end was great and authentic.

Would totally recommend! Typhoon and Priest were the best company to explore downtown Nairobi with. I felt safe and had a lot of fun, and learned many new things.

Very interesting walking tour to an area you could not visit on your own. Didn't receive the local lunch mentioned and felt obliged to give some money to buy food for homeless children but overall an interesting tour to see what 'real life' is like for many people.

I was in Nairobi for the 6th United Nations Environment Assembly, and I found about this tour from a friend. I highly recommend it. We were guided by “King”, an inspiring, kind, and intelligent man. King has surmounted incredible odds, growing up as an orphan, living on the streets in the slums of Nairobi since he was 5 years old. They call him the “Street Professor”. I am convinced one day he will be a man of great influence. We saw King in action negotiating with a street beggar (he was checking the man needed help and was not taking advantage of our generosity) and we both agreed he should be working for the UN. It was a really interesting and enriching experience.

Inspiring tour of the real Kenya, the real Nairobi. Amazing tour with Priest, King and many more individuals that accompanied us. We are really thankful for this experience on our first day in Nairobi and would reallu recommend this to foreigners. We walked through the streets, exchanged a lot on all topics, got to know Priest and how he grew up, and even dansed together in the restaurant at the end. Thank you, Priest! Elise & Mumu

The tour was extraordinary and something I would highly recommend to everybody who's interested in an insight view into the life of thousands of Nairobeans that didn't have the luck to be borne on the bright side. I was and I am still deeply impressed from the way our guide King has gone, his calm and convenceing reflections not just about his own life but the situation in his city and country in general, and I also very much like d to see how his fellows and people in downton in general interacted with each other, good guys and a lot of laughings, happy that I did it, sure to do so again...

This was an amazing way to see Nairobi. Quick, Typhoon, Tsunami and the Priest were excellent tour guides. They shared their stories with us as we saw the streets of downtown. The food at the end was a great way to try authentic African cuisine.

Wonderful experience once in a lifetime to discover another part of the city, where you can’t go on your own. But with guidance I felt completely safe and secure during the tour. Definitely recommend it

It is an experience you don't want to miss!! Everybody was telling me that the center of Nairobi is dangerous, but I felt right at home with those guys. Walking in the hub of the city, meeting their friends, visiting the market, listening to their amazing stories of survival and companionship in the hard times, riding the matatu, I felt like a local! And last but mot least, the visit to the slum where my guide was born and to the scholl those tours help sustain. A most powerful experience. And reminder of how something so little for us can be of great help to the needy ones. Great respect for those people and their work. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and anyone who visits Nairobi and I will definitely do it again, both for the great fun and the support we are able to give them.

I went out with Typhoon, King, and Priest. I did the tour at the end of my stay due to a busy schedule but I would recommend it the first thing to do in Nairobi. I was travelling solo and was a bit insecure most of the time but doing this tour with this cool group and hearing their stories made me inspired and more comfortable navigating around the city. The tour guide will share all the ins and outs of the city in detail, safe areas, what to look for, and many more. The best thing I did in Nairobi. Thanks for an amazing city tour!

This was a terrific tour. Our guide was Typhoon and he showed us parts of the city we could never have explored alone. He was passionate about the opportunity he has been given to leave his street life behind and the importance of being a role model to others. It’s a wonderful initiative and we highly recommend the tour.

I really recommend this tour. It’s a different, honest and special way to get to know the city center, by getting to know and understand a little bit of the people who live in it. It’s educational, inspiring, interesting, sincere and important everything that happens. It’s a privilege for them to be able to open to us and hear their story.

The tour was interesting and gave you a worthy insight to the life of people living in Nairobi. We felt safe being surrounded by three guides while we were striving in the Down Town streets. Taifun told his life story and you really felt for him.

After spending more than a week in Nairobi and around Kenya on safari and visiting various different tourist locations, this walking tour was an absolute highlight. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to truly understand the daily life of average Kenyans from various socio-economic backgrounds. Our guide was raw, honest and compelling. The tour was authentic, eye-opening and educational on many levels. We ended the tour with lunch and had the opportunity to try various traditional Kenyan dishes which were delicious and filling. We felt safe and able to be ourselves during this tour. Simply do not hesitate to engage in this life-changing tour experience.
