I booked the Mombasa City and Street Food Tour. It was an incredible experience. The company are very professional and their correspondence was excellent, they were very flexible and helpful when organising. The tour itself was great fun, led by a charismatic guide – it was well organised and had a good balance of food and historical sites. An experience I will always cherish. If you are in Kenya, these are the guys to go to.

We did a city and street food tour in Mombasa city with Travel4Purpose. It was a really exciting and genuine experience. We visited several stops with local food and drinks and tried the tuktuk. The visit to the food market was one of the highlights. For anyone who wants to experience Mombasa city I highly recommend this tour with Travel4Purpose – they are very communicative and easy to be in contact with!
We had such a fun tour. Our guide Tyson catered well to the children’s needs and interests. The food was plentiful and delicious. The service from start to finish was superb and very professional. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
I loved Qamili’s services. She was very professional and down to earth. The experience was a tour of old town with Swahili street food sampling. Who wouldn’t enjoy that?! I highly recommend this tour. You get to see Mombasa in a different light which I loved. The snacks were also really good.
