5.00This is one of the nice and easy tours you can take in the city of Arusha. Our guide James is so knowledgeable and most importantly he has become our best friend. With him we feel not a tourist anymore and just a friend, our visit to the different parts of the city Museums, gallery, food market and taking a short walk in the streets made this day unforgettable for our Tanzania trip. I recommend this company and James.
Highly Recommended Fun & Informative Town tour and Napuru waterfall.

5.00This is one of the greatest experiences we had in our trip in Tanzania. Our tour guide's name is Israel. Is the best and I can rate him 10 out of 10 for his experience and knowledge that he shared. He's very honest, gentle and I like his way to guide us, It was our last day in Tanzania and with him we learned so much that we didn't know about the country. He's good at all and we are kind of interested the most about nature, culture and history and by the luck we found Israel that made our day remembered in Tanzania. We did two activities with him, we started with the city tour that showed us the best part of the Arusha town and last we went to hike to Napuru waterfall, and we are so happy to have this tour with Israel from Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. Trust, honest, well organized and knowledgeable push me to recommend it to anyone.
Best tour to learn about Arusha and Tanzania.

5.00This is one of the must do tours while you are in Arusha., Our best guide James makes sure we really learn deep about Arusha, we talk walking from close destination and last destination they just drive us. Our tour begins at the Natural History Museum where we learned a lot about Tanzania history in colonial time, human evolution, we also saw the giant tortoise, this is not the place to miss in Arusha. After we follow the Tanzanite experience and museum where we experience the gemstone of Tanzanite, that's so unique because of the area where mining is only in Tanzania. Our guide brought us to Arusha Clock tower and then Maasai market for hand made goods from the local people, where if you are looking for souvenirs is the best place you can get direct from local,. Our best and lovely place to come is the food market of Arusha where the aroma of vegetables, fruits and spice make us stay longer and the people are so nice also James explains to us a lot and everyone on the market is so kind. We just ended up in an art gallery which is known as one of the biggest ones in Africa. This is more than a city tour, you will learn a lot about Tanzania history and their people, the guides are very knowledgeable and they know we'll be in the city. If you have any time in Arusha, don't miss this tour, you will be proud after booking this tour.
Highly recommended Tour company
