Review of Arusha’s walking city tour, with museums, markets, Tanzanite, local food, practical tips, price, and guide advice.

“We did the Arusha tour on our very last day in Tanzania after returning from our Serengeti safari, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. Israel is such a warm, funny, and genuine person with an incredible wealth of knowledge about his country. We ended up spending almost the entire day together because it was so fascinating, and he was incredibly flexible about the time.

“According to the tour I booked the pickup time was suppose to be 08:00. After numerous whats apps I eventually got picked up at 09:40. Then We went to pick up another couple with great confusion. Eventually we arrived in Stone town around 12:30. Around 13:00 the tour only started. When we went for the spice tour no one said take cash if you want to support the spice tour. I hardly ever carry cash with me so I could not buy any spices. After the tour we were taken back to Nungwi ended up arriving there just after 20:00”
