A 2-hour walking tour of Dar es Salaam’s center with Derick Lawrence, from St Joseph Cathedral to Kivukoni Fish Market, with custom stops.

“Derick was very informed about Dar es Salaam. He was also very accommodating as I missed my originally scheduled tour, and he kindly reached out to me to reschedule at his own volition. The icing on the cake, was getting the chance to complete the tour on his motor bike because I was the only one scheduled for the time slot. This tour is a great introduction to the history and culture of the city”
