Free tours a Kampala

Sara was our guide, she had a calm energy which I found soothing and excellent knowledge of history which is exactly what we needed. She had a confidence when walking on the streets that was reassuring, ensuring to help us cross busy roads and recommending some street food. She also brought us to good spots to take pictures that werent too crowded and much less risk of having your phone snatched. Very good tour, came away with more knowledge about Kampala!

Doris was a nice and professional guide. This tour for me was the only way to get to see areas of Kampala which I wouldn't go to on my own (I'm a girl travelling on my own). I love to visit a place and discover what locals do. Recommended!

Lydia was very good. She looked after us and catered to our needs.

Steve was very good and customised the tour to cater to our needs.

Doris and Sarah are very friendly people! We had a very good tour with lots of information about Kampalas sights. We felt very much taken care of, especially in the crowded markets and crossing the streets. Both guides answered the many questions competenty. We highly recommend it! It was a very nice atmosphere and we even got to taste some local pancakes.

The guides were very nice and open when we asked questions. Ask lots of questions.

We had the pleasure of having Steve as our guide in Kampala, and he was fantastic! He shared so many interesting and insightful facts about the city, which made our tour truly memorable. Steve was also very patient and took the time to answer all of our questions, no matter how many we had. What stood out the most was how he tailored the walk to suit our interests and needs, ensuring we saw the best parts of Kampala while also considering our preferences. His knowledge and flexibility made the experience both enjoyable and informative. If you're in Kampala and looking for a great guide, I highly recommend Steve!

Sarah took me to beautiful sights of Kampala. She made sure I get very good impressions of the daily life in Kampala and also introduced me to local food and street food (the rolex was the best experience). She had answers to all my questions and gave me a lot of information about the history of places and the country as well as on the culture, kingdoms and recent developments. I would always chose to walk with Sarah again.

I had a great day with Sara. She happily adjusted to the changes I had to make in my itinerary. Looking forward to another tour w Sara!🌻

I honestly did not expect to have such a perfect afternoon in Kampala out of all places I've visited in East Africa. Serah and I met at the mosque where we started the tour. She took me through different markets downtown and to other remarkable places in the city all the while feeling very safe and well taken care of in her presence. She also showed me her favorite coffee place which ai immediately had to try (get the cardamom and ginger cappuccino at CJ's). She's very knowledgeable about the city and beyond and the history of different East African countries. I had such a great time with her it felt more like being shown around the city by a friend than "just a guide". Thank you!

Coming from a Southeast Asian city, I found downtown Kampala to be intense, chaotic, and overwhelming in a way I’d never experienced before. But Twaha turned that potential anxiety into one of my best decisions during my visit. I was lucky enough to be his only guest that afternoon, so it felt like a private tour. We covered every spot Twaha proposed—plus my own request to try local food. We ended up having lunch at Owino Market, eating like locals among the crowd. It was truly one of my favorite moments in Uganda! Another highlight was diving deep into the bustle of Owino, the city’s biggest market. Twaha even encouraged me to walk in front, so I could feel a bit like a solo traveler while still having his guidance and security. The result? A crazy, intense, and unforgettable experience. Throughout the walk, Twaha was incredibly informative, sharing everything from modern-day Kampala life to the history dating back to Uganda’s kingdoms. Starting at the National Mosque’s minaret was perfect for a visual person like me—seeing the city from above while learning its background helped me piece everything together. He has been guiding visitors since 2016, so he’s definitely an expert—and yet he never seems to tire of explaining everything with genuine passion to each guest. He also communicated tipping guidelines right after my booking. And, honestly, it’s well worth it. Exploring the organized chaos of downtown Kampala is a must—and doing it with Twaha is something I’m proud of and will never regret. Highly recommended!

Steve is a amazing tourguide and a very cool man! He showed me a lot of nice places. But the most that I liked is, the we can talk openly and that he answered me so many questions about culture, religion and society in Uganda. Thanks for this beautiful tour, Steve!

I had an exceptional experience with Steve as my tour guide. He was punctual and professional from the start, which set a great tone for our day. Steve took me on a fascinating tour of the oldest university in Uganda, sharing insights about its various disciplines and impressive student enrollment. I was particularly intrigued to learn that seven presidents from across Africa graduated from this institution. Our journey began in a local impoverished neighborhood, where Steve demonstrated deep respect for the inhabitants. He shared his efforts to support the community through rice donations funded by his initiatives, which truly highlighted his commitment to giving back. As we explored, Steve introduced me to vibrant markets filled with food, clothes, and beautiful art. There was so much to see and learn! One of the most poignant moments was when he explained the Ugandan monument depicting a woman who was initially bound but ultimately holds her baby free—a powerful symbol of resilience. Thank you, Steve, for your thoughtful and informative tour of Uganda's history. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of this beautiful country!

Fatumah is an excellent guide in coordinating the tour and offers a lot of informs about the country and the city Kampala. I’m very pleased with the tour and the guide.

We toured Kampala with Twaha and it was a very good choice. The information he gave us was of quality, he answered our questions, he helped us with local purchases, he was attentive to our safety and we were definitely able to tour without feeling at risk. We concluded that without him it would have been difficult to visit certain places. We also took a tour with him to see gorillas and chimpanzees. He is definitely a great friend and companion! We are delighted to meet him and grateful for all his support! We highly recommend him! Gracias!!!! Twaha! 😀😀😀

The Walk with Doris through the religious sites as the national mosque including the best view all over kampala from the minaret was great. After that we went directly into the crowded market and tried not to get lost. It was absolutly impressiv to see all the stuff you can find there. We also tried some deliciouse ugandian food as kabalagala. Later we had interesting talks about culture, rituals and living in uganda. Many thanks Doris it was a great tour with you and we would definitly recommend the tour. Tabita and Malaika

Great tour! Steve was fantastic and very attentive - 5 stars!

Good walking tour for those with limited time to see central Kampala. Mix of historic sights and authentic downtown bustle. Not too long and guide gave sufficient information without overloading us.

We had a nice walk with Sarah in the oldtown of Kampala. She was very nice and flexible to take extra stops for us, and had a nice coffee. It was very informative, we got a lot of interesting thoughts about life in Kampala and Uganda. We felt very safe during the trip! Thank you a lot again, Sarah!

Sarah was an excellent guide. She gave us lots of information, was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. She gave us ample time wherever we needed it and also gave us a superb insight and info at the mosque. I would definitely recommend Sarah for future tours and if I had more time would go on her other tours too

If you’re looking to do a tour in Kampala, Fatumah is the woman you need!! She does it with a lot of passion, enthusiasm and pleasure. The places you visit with her are without any doubt the most interesting places to immerse yourself in the culture of Uganda and the Buganda Kingdom. Definitely highly recommended!!

I had an incredible walking tour in Kampala with a fantastic woman guide. Despite it being a solo tour, she made the experience engaging and insightful. Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and landmarks was impressive, and she shared it with passion. She ensured my safety throughout, and I felt comfortable the entire time. The tour being tip-based was a unique touch, and it was definitely worth it. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an authentic and memorable experience in Kampala!

Really nice, professional and well-planned tour!

Twaha was a professional guide with a caring attitude. Safety issues were important to him. Highly recomended!
