“Patrick was so nice, picked me up, taught me some Swahili and even did a detour to show me the city of Nairobi. I wasn't feeling particularly well that day so he organized water and cookies at the farm for me and stayed with me the whole time. Since I missed parts of the tour, he explained everything (about the coffee harvest (the parts I was missing) and Kenyan history, tribes and culture) to me while waiting for the rest of the group. He knows A LOT! I can 1000% recommend!”
