The tour lasts about 3–4 hours and visits Old Taxi Park, a central market, the Independence Monument area, Gaddafi National Mosque (including a minaret climb), and nearby Fort Lugard craft shops.
The minaret has many narrow steps and may be challenging for those with mobility issues or vertigo; alternatives include viewing parts of the mosque from ground level.
A sample Ugandan rolex and bottled water are included, but bring cash for additional snacks or market purchases.
English is commonly used by guides; Luganda and Swahili are also widely spoken in Kampala and you may hear them during market visits.
