Nairobi Free Gastronomic Tour

Enjoy this exciting free walking tour through the center of the picturesque city of Nairobi and discover the flavors of Kenya and traditional food with the best local guide.

Discover the flavors of Kenya and traditional food on a gastronomic tour accompanied by a local guide. Visit different food shops, markets and restaurants where you can try the typical Kenyan food and better understand the culture, history and customs of the country. You will sample local dishes such as ugali, githeri, nyama choma, roast maize, samosa, pilau, chapati among others.

The first stopover will be at Home LunchRestaurant at Corner house. Sample a few dishes on the menu and a few stories surrounding the dishes. From there, we head to Ronalo Foods on Kimathi Street. Sample different dishes as a team and share your opinion of the dish. Afterward, the team will head to Coast Dishes that serves food from the Kenyan coast. This will be followed by a visit to various local eateries along the way, depending on the guide’s choice.

The tour concludes at Green Apple restaurant (or any other restaurant that will be agreed upon) with a final sampling of local dishes as well as a review of the food sampled during the day. The team will then head back to the original meeting point or disperse at will. Please note that the client has to buy the dishes that they will sample.
