Great Maputo walk

Jon_F, Feb 2025

Easy walk Very informative. Nelton was excellent, very engaging and easy tone about him. The entire team was very accommodating to our schedule and met all our needs

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Dear Jon We really appreciate your great review and 5 stars rating, we're glad you enjoyed the tour with Nelton. Regards Aylton

Exceeded expectations

Michelle_B, Feb 2025

Confirmation of reservation was amazingly quick- I received a WhatsApp message from tour guide Aylton within minutes. My booking was last minute so I really appreciated his availability and quick response. The tour itself was great. Definitely worth it to see the historic sites of the city and learn about Mozambican history and culture from a local. We went to some places I never could have seen or enjoyed on my own. Some nice surprises along the way, including sampling fruit I never saw before in my life (and I’ve traveled extensively). Aylton’s English language was very good and I highly recommend booking a tour with him.

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for the great review, we're glad you enjoyed the tour. Regards Aylton

Great journey through the history of the city

Michael_B, Feb 2026

3.5 km walk through the city, to the historic buildings and squares of the city. Romeo was an entertaining guide with wit and humor who, in addition to facts, also knew how to report details of people's everyday lives vividly and with a wink. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the stroll through our city’s history. Romeo is indeed a master at blending hard facts with those 'wink-and-a-nod' stories that make history feel human. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to him. Hope to see you on another route soon. Best regards, Aylton
