Viola was a wonderful guide she took us to the botanical gardens. We talked about the life in Entebbe, the culture and the values of the Ugandan people. She really tries to get up on a boat a boat to return home, which was a lot of fun.

We arrived fresh off our flight into Entebbe to a lovely interactive and fun walking tour with Arthur. We enjoyed our chat with him over rolexes, and found him to be knowledgeable, personable and professional throughout our walking tour. We walked from up town to down town, checked out the Saturday market (very interesting!), the Botanical Gardens and its assorted wildlife and generally had us a wonderful afternoon to ease us into our Ugandan adventure. Highly recommended!

Arthur was incredible! He went above and beyond to show me Entebbe and made me feel welcome. Knowing I was travelling alone, he went as far as inviting me to watch the football game later in the day where I got to see more of the Ugandan culture from a local’s perspective. I would highly recommend Arthur to anybody visiting Entebbe.

Our tour guide, Arthur, is professional and knowledgeable about the numerous historic sites in downtown Entebbe. We also enjoyed the Arthur's tour of the Botanical Gardens where we learned about the trees and plants and wildlife endemic to the region. This tour guide is highly recommended.

Uns hat die Rundgang sehr gut gefallen. Jetzt wissen wir auch ein bisschen mehr von Uganda und Entebbe ein besondere Ort gewesen war. Wir können Arthur nur Herzlichst weiter empfehlen für die Deutschsprachigen, da er das in 1.5 Jahre sich selber bei gebracht hatte und wir verstanden Ihn sehr gut.

Had a great tour with Arthur around the town of Entebbe, the zoo and the botanical gardens. Well worth doing if you want to learn about the history of Entebbe. Arthur was also very knowledgeable about the wildlife around Kampala so that was brilliant too! Highly recommend

This tour was a nice walking tour of Entebbe. We saw many historical buildings and the Freedom Tree. We ended at the Botanical Gardens for a quick walk through there. It rained almost the whole time which made it rather unpleasant for a walking tour. We paused at the post office to let the downpour pass. We made the best of the situation, wore our raincoats and tried to enjoy it all.

What a treat to spend the day on a walking tour with my guide Arthur. We walked, talked, discussed and had an incredible time. Arthur's knowledge of Entebbe was super! All the interesting history. I love architecture and there was no shortness of old colonial buildings and history to go along. The visit to the Entebbe Zoo was also great as it is also a sanctuary. The baby elephant getting fed was a joy and seeing the White Rhino's was amazing. Getting to see Victoria Lake and eat lunch by the water was great! Overall, a super day and i recommend this walking tour! Thank you Arthur!

Des voitures partout. Pique-niques avec musique à fond et pollution plastique, particulièrement sur le rivage du lac victoria. En payant 5 dollars l’entrée j’aurais au moins espérer ne pas toucher de déchets plastiques datant parfois de bien longtemps à en voir leur état.
