Summary: My walking tour in Kampala was absolutely amazing! Mercy, my guide, was an unforgettable experience. She guided me with professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture. I felt completely safe while exploring the city with her. From the lively bustling open markets and public transport to Boda Boda rides, a temple visit, and even the King’s Palace, every moment was exciting. Mercy’s insights into Kampala’s history and culture made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!
