I canceled this trip because I was in Zanzibar about a week ago then confirmed a couple of days ago because I was not in Kenya. I don’t have an opinion just don’t want to get changed for it.
Thanks!

AWFUL!
Nothing as advertised. This is not a tour.
If you're looking for a guide to help you with cultural shopping, look elsewhere.
As soon as we started driving, the driver/guide started asking us intrusive questions about our jobs and salaries, then pushing us to book him for an airport ride. The tour advertised 8 hours ($90 per person), but the driver insisted on committing to only 4 hours. When we pressed him that we paid for a full day, we discovered that he double booked himself to drive someone else to the airport. From then, he started to rush us and weasel his way out of the commitment.
He only drove us to multiple locations where he sat chatting and having coffee with the staff in those places. He did not help us at all with understanding the culture, communicating with the vendors, showing us around, or bargaining for a fair price, even though we explicitly asked for all of these things at the beginning of the "tour".
He left us on our own the whole time, until the 4 hours were over and he pressured us to cut the tour short. We insisted that we get another driver to continue the tour for the amount that we paid for. During the remainder of the booking, the other driver was not with us at all, so we had to carry heavy bags the whole time instead of being able to put them in the car. Also, we only had the phone number of the new driver who we have never seen before so we couldn't recognize him if we saw him.
When we demanded that someone be present with us, he didn't take it seriously and started cracking jokes about it. We also asked for specific stops before we started the tour and he agreed to it, then he wanted to back out so we pressed him to hold his end of the agreement and take us there. Honestly, this all could've been done using an uber to go to the Utamaduni Craft Centre (where we saw almost everything that was in the other stops and more) and the kuzuri bead factory and any other mall.
This has been a total waste of time and money on top of being a very distressing experience.
STAY AWAY!
