Well worth visiting. The ruins are really beautiful and the history very interesting. 500ks entry + 50ks transaction fee pp entry (foreigner) but no cash or card so you will have to get someone to pay via mpesa. There are guides around who will help with that.

We were guided by Alphas, a Gede Ruins Community Guide. He was really excellent (we are english speakers) with a wealth of information about the place, and had a good sense of humour so made the whole visit really fun and interesting. One of the best guides we have had in East Africa! He is on whatsapp at +254729289507 otherwise might be on offer at the gate on arrival.

We were told by the ticket office a guide price should be 500ks plus more if deserved. Guided walk was only for the old city walk.
