A great way to see Mombasa city
A great way to see historical landmarks in Mombasa and see local people living their everyday lives. Ended up being a personal solo tour, picked up by the day’s driver Antony, who covers lots of unique areas and loves to chat and tell stories! had the opportunity to get the ferry to the city as coming from Diani beach. Walked through the historic sites, back streets and market see all the different spices, fruits and vegetables on sale with Hussain who explained so much. Then on to see the how art work is handmade by local crafters, it was great to talk with the crafters see how they make all the items and watch the skills used to create so many wonderful wood pieces. We ended the day at Haller part where I got to meet some very entertaining animals the monkeys were very funny and the massive crocodiles were definitely something to be cautious of LOL the giant tortoises were pretty special just chilling in the park, thought they were a statue at first until their head moved! And the elegant giraffes were lovely to watch too! Was also brought to shops to buy Souvenirs that were not overpriced and its was great not to feel pressured into buying things like other places you can go to. The day was very chilled and lots to take in. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water because it does get hot walking around.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your full-day Mombasa excursion and that it turned into a special personal experience for you. Antony and Hussain will be especially pleased to know their stories, knowledge, and company made your day memorable. It’s great that you got to explore everything from the historic sites and local markets to the craftsmanship of the artisans — and of course meet the amazing animals at Haller Park! We’re also glad you felt comfortable and not pressured during the shopping stops, as we always aim to keep the experience relaxed and authentic. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Regards, Thoya

Very good Mombasa tour
Anthony our tour guide was wonderful. He arrived at our resort on time and took us to fort Jesus, the wood carving community, the old town area where slaves were auctioned off and then to see the elephant tusks. Our ending stop was at Haller park where you can see huge tortoises , crocodiles, hippos, monkeys and giraffes. It’s really a lovely park and if you go late afternoon you can feed the giraffes. Anthony was wonderful and took lots of photos of us.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour and all the highlights, including Fort Jesus, the wood carving community, the old town, the elephant tusks, and Haller Park. It’s great that you got to see the amazing wildlife and even feed the giraffes in the late afternoon! We’re especially pleased that Anthony made your experience even more memorable with his knowledge, professionalism, and by taking photos for you. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you again for choosing our services, and we look forward to welcoming you on another memorable tour in the future! warm regards, Thoya

Mombasa day tour
Anthony was a fun and informative guide, very flexible with how we spent our day. We saw all of the major sights in Mombasa with lots of interesting information from Anthony. We ended the day feeding giraffes in Halle park which was fun. A very good day.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! We're stoked Anthony could show you the best of Mombasa and make the day so memorable for you. Feeding giraffes in Hallé Park is always a highlight 😋. We'll definitely pass on your kind words to Anthony - he's one of our top guides! 🙌 Looking forward to having you back. warm regards, Thoya

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mombasa.
How much does Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $162 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 Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 39 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 Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour?
+
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 Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour?
+
Around 14 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour 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.
What is included in Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; All Fees and Taxes; and driver/guide. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 235 listed pickup locations in and around Mombasa. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Mombasa Excursion Tour?
+
