Pendaeli Amos was a good guide and I had a fun authentic experience in and around Arusha. I was in a town a day early and wanted to kill a day, and did not want to get stuck on a public hotel sponsored tour of anything. This was a fun way to learn more about the history of TZ and pass a day in an interesting way.

Hubs and I LOVED our tour with Pendaeli. Our communication was flawless. He was accommodating of our schedule. His auto was comfortable and he's very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Arusha and Tanzania. The museum was super interesting, teaching us about the time of colonialism and the smart leaders who lead the country peacefully to independence. The tour of the Central Market, particularly the women's market, was fascinating and hassle free. HIGHLY recommend and thank you Pendaeli!

Amos was a wonderful guide... prompt, pleasant, knowledgeable, good sense of humour and very accommodating. We had a most enjoyable and informative few hours in Arusha town. We are really glad we signed up for this tour.

My Mom and I had a wonderful time on this tour. We enjoyed all the activities that were planned; the reception coffee, the great homemade lunch, crushing and cooking coffee beans, and local beekeeping. The staff and our tour guide were very warm and friendly. We had a lot of fun on this tour and we have a lot of memories that we took away. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in getting to experience local agriculture and way of life.
