Overview

  • This experience goes beyond the typical Nairobi CBD sightseeing tour. Instead of simply visiting landmarks, guests discover Nairobi’s transformation from a railway town into a modern African city through its railway heritage, archives, historic buildings, freedom monuments, local eating corners and the KICC skyline.

    Hosted by Kenyan artist and cultural host Senyor C-Jeys, the experience combines history, heritage, architecture, local stories and everyday Nairobi life in one carefully curated CBD journey. Entrance fees are included, making the experience seamless and easy for guests.
