    Lousy.

    A mess. When we had already paid Tripadvisor the agent asked us for the cash to make the tour. I had nothing prepared and insisted that Tripadvisor would return the money if he cancelled the trip. We refused to take the risk of paying twice for the tour and ran out of it. We have processed the refund for running out of tour, now we are waiting for how the issue will end.

    Tour of Mombasa

    I mostly had a good time on this tour. I found the tour offering on TripAdvisor and didn't know any of the people involved before this but they did a good job with coordinating it. The company handled all transport arrangements from Nairobi to Mombasa and back to Nairobi. They also took care of my accommodation while in Mombasa and all these were part of the bill. I made my way to the Nairobi SGR Terminus on the first day and someone was already waiting with my train ticket to Mombasa. I was picked up at the Mombasa Terminus and dropped off at my hotel. On the first two days, I went on a tour of Mombasa - Fort Jesus, Old town, Haller Park, Spice Market, and the Swaminarayan Temple in Mombasa. The tour guide who doubled as a photographer, Eric, knew a lot about these places and did a good job with sharing the information. There was breakfast at the hotel and the guides paid for lunch and dinner on these two days. Itineraries changed and I went on a tour of Wasini on the third day instead of the second. I checked out of the hotel and the hotel held my bags until I returned because that was my last day in Mombasa. I was picked up at the hotel early in the morning by another tour company in charge of that. We drove to the Marine Park and went on a boat ride, snorkeling, scuba diving (Not included in the fee. I had to pay $50 separately for this), dolphin watching and had lunch in Wasini. This was a full day of activities and I was dropped in front of my hotel at the end of the day. I was taken to the bus park by the guide and had to take the night bus from Mombasa back to Nairobi at 10pm on that same day instead of the planned train because of the changed itineraries. No dinner was provided and the bus was comfortable but the roads were really bumpy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for reviewing our tour Moyinoluwa. It was really a pleasure hosting you. Again, our apologies for the slight change in itinerary with our partners. We promise to offer you a more stable experience on your next trip with us. See you soonǃ

    3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mombasa.

    How much does 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani cost?

    +

    Prices start at $370 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mombasa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mombasa is not rushed.

    Is 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mombasa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mombasa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mombasa and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Day Mombasa Tour - City Tour, Watamu & Diani start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mombasa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mombasa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mombasa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mombasa City Tour, Walking Tour Through Old Town Mombasa and Fort Jesus, Visit to Fort Jesus and the Old Town of Mombasa. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mombasa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mombasa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
