Highly recommend this walking tour. It's a great way to see three different neighbourhoods in Nairobi, learn a little bit of history, and see the incredible work done by Book Bunk. It was a beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning, surrounded by books and history.

Every time I talk about Nairobi I talk about this amazing tour. The spaces that Bookbunk have created in Nairobi are a beacon of hope and an example of what creativity can do when it is employed in service of community. I literally teared up when I saw how intentional and thoughtful Eastlands Library has been designed. I mean, have you ever seen a library with a garden, music, art, theatre, play spaces, books, and an overall vibe of home? The work Bookbunk is doing in Nairobi is truly an example to anyone who cares about community development. It must always center people and through this tour, you’ll get real life examples of just that. Just as Wangari Maathai, leading organizer of the GreenBelt Movement, was not just planting trees, Bookbunk is doing so much more than renovating libraries.

Lovely experience, beautiful libraries, and very knowledgeable guides.

Visiting the three libraries was indeed a unique experience . We learned so much about the impressive local efforts to sustain and upgrade the local public libraries and the service they provide to children and adults in the local communities. Its impressive how many libraries there are in Nairobi. It was also very interesteing to see the old mcmillan library in the CBD distrikt, including the mcmillan book collection upstairs and the cellar filled with historical books and newspapers and giant books with geographic cards of Africa. Our guides were so knowledgable and nice and we had a wonderful time together. I can reccomend this tour to everyone, who would really like to know Nairobi behind the more touristed facade.
