Reviews
The trip to Mombasa was enjoyable, with our guide taking us to Fort Jesus, Old Town, and the Spice Market, where he addressed all our questions. We then visited the famous bumps and a Hindu temple, where we received insights about the temple. Finally, we explored how various characters are crafted from different woods and had some shopping opportunities. Overall, it met our expectations and allowed us to experience Mombasa.
The tour involves some walking on uneven streets, but it's manageable. It's essential to wear comfortable shoes. Learning about the history of Fort Jesus was captivating, and our guide, Moses, highlighted many key features. He also took us through the Old Town, open-air markets, and the spice market.
