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.
