The tour was interesting and gave me a good idea of Arusha. I particularly like the food market and the spices. Scott gave me some good suggestions for shopping, bar and restaurants in Arusha. He is polite and does his best to make the tour interesting and useful. I definitely recommend Scott for the tour and I wish him all the best .

Hans fue muy puntual, estuvo pendiente de nosotros desde antes de llegar hasta después, que esperó a que cogiéramos un tuc tuc. Durante el tour no hemos sentido inseguridad ninguna en la ciudad. Habla bien inglés y contestó a todas nuestras preguntas sobre su país, y el nos preguntó mucho sobre la nuestra. De todos modos, el tour tampoco es gran cosa porque Arusha no tiene muchos monumentos. Es más un tour de experiencia conociendo los sitios locales auténticos más que de aprender historia.

What a wonderful experience we had with Scott.He was punctual ,informative, attentive and gave us a greater insight into the city of Arusha and the history and culture of Tanzania. We were able to visit places we would not normally go to on our own in the city centre . We highly recommended Scott as your tour guide in Arusha.

Hans is a nice guy. Very chatty and friendly. He was interesting to chat to and was also very interested in our hike country. We would recommend this tour for those who don't have too long in Arusha, but would like to get a feel for the place.

Hans provided a wealth of information on our three hour tour . I didn’t have my phone at the start so missed seeing him at the rendezvous place. However he found us nearby and guided us through markets , busy local shopping streets and finished up back near the Clocktower . Thoroughly recommend his tour .

Famous sights to visit in a Free Walking Tour Arusha

Must-Visit Places on a Walking Tour Arusha in Winter

Winter in Arusha brings a unique charm to the city, making it an ideal time for a walking tour. A highlight of your visit should be the stunning Mount Meru, which offers breathtaking views, particularly when the skies are clear.

The scenic beauty of the area is simply captivating, and you might even spot some local wildlife along the way.

For families traveling with children, a visit to the Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre is a must. This vibrant space offers not only art and craft exhibitions but also interactive activities for kids, including traditional storytelling sessions. As you stroll through the local markets, be sure to indulge in seasonal delicacies like warm mandazi and a cup of local tea, which are especially comforting during the cooler winter months. These experiences will provide a rich taste of Arusha's culture and hospitality.
