Iam pleased to be a referent to Paul and I indeed recommend his promotion.

SinceI work within East Africa region with frequent short-term holidays, it oftenhappens that Kenya is among my tour destinations. Paul became since some yearsthe 'focal person' for me and all my friends for holidays or short trips toKenya. The trips done with him include: Elementaita-Naivasha, Lamu, Meru,Mombasa-Malindi, Nairobi.

Hehas been able every time to provide a complete andrecommendable experience. If I might identify the strengths ofthe experiences he organized are:

-LOCAL TRAVEL instead of a TOURIST TOUR: With Paul I never felt like me and myfriends were in a tourist-like tour. Starting from his approach to me andfriends, he always showed transparency and treated us more like 'friends' than'clients', making the experience looking and feeling like we are out with agroup pf friends. Moreover, the place-choice done by Paul allow us toexperience a Kenya which is not the one only visited by tourist, but the realone. 

.

-HONEST AND TRANSPARENT: In other previous experiences, the major problem that Iwas facing was the approach of tour guides: treating me like a tourist toextract as much money as possible from. However, with Paul me and my friendsalways perceived first a real and genuine interest in cultural exchange, andwanting to share an experience together. Paul is a respectful, highly educatedand international thinker who can very easily get along with any type of personand make people feel comfortable.

-KNOWLEDGE: Moreover, Paul is very knowledgeable about the history andcultures of his Country, which makes travelling with him veryinteresting.  I always wandered if he studies before going on a travelwith us, however every time he can really provide us with great insights! 

-SIMPLE YET COMFORTABLE: Accommodation, transports and food places advised byPaul are always surprisingly good quality, yet simple. Paul has been able tounderstand what me and my friends like: Not too expensive travelling yet ofgood quality. 

-SAFETY: Paul is very cautious and careful of people safety, never one accidenthappened during his trips.

-VARIETY and CREATIVITY: Paul is able every time to propose activities that wecould not even image of: proposing biking tours instead of usual bus-tours,cultural events, hiking in natural parks, concerts, festivals. He also haslinkages with international NGOs, and in more than one occasion he was able toorganize 'volunteering- trip' in projects in Nairobi and Meru.

Forall these reasons, I warmly recommend Paul to become part of your team. I trulybelieve that he can be of great added value and you will never regret thechoice.

Kindregards,

Federica
