I couldn't have asked for anymore from this tour with Egas! One of the most knowledgeable and interesting guides I've had the pleasure I've had the privilege of spending time with wandering his country and hearing all about history. But we also spent a LOT of time together laughing and just conversing Life. He didn't mind and never tired of my incessant questions about buildings and the reasons for the current status quo of places in Maputo & Mozambique. Even when the Tour was done, he was my go-to person for my remaining time in Maputo, advising me on restaurants, Tuk Tuks (Wambaco was great!), places to visit and other taxi services when TukTuks ran out of (human) steam. I especially loved our coffee moments at the Railway station and the Market.
Thank you so much for sharing your world and allowing me a moment of understanding and sheer joy 😊

Thank-you, this is such a beautiful review and we've printed and shared it with Egas to ensure how much his knowledge and guidance is appreciated!

We did a day tour with Egas, and it was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, took us to great sites, and gave fantastic lunch and dinner recommendations. We managed to experience so much in one day, including local arts and crafts. Highly recommend Egas for an insightful and well-organized tour.

It was an excellent day tour . Really interesting city to see is Maputo. I was lucky to have this tour on Saturday as it is a holiday for the locals. Anyway the guide and the driver were excellent. Don’t miss this day tour if ever in Maputo.

Tour was okay, but we were somewhat unhappy with how it ended. Tour included a lunch stop, which we were not interested in. Unfortunately, we were not given the option to skip. While others were eating, we agreed to wait until a specified time. The agreed to time was not followed. A better attempt could have been made to accommodate.

We have been doing these Maputo City Super Tours with cruise ship passengers for a few years now and on average about 50% of the cruise ship passengers prefer to cross over to Katembe to see the views and beach from that side, and then get dropped off back at the Port and we go back to get the remaining clients who are lunching.
Even the evening before this tour we reminded the team to make sure it was made clear that we are happy to do this.
I'm not sure where the breakdown in communication was but we are sorry that you were kept waiting. It's our policy to always bring back the clients who do not wish to stay around for lunch.
I'm sorry this happened to you. We will use it as a learning experience to make sure we are clearer to clients that this is an option.

Enos and Alfa were both incredible. Their commentary was informative and they made the day thoroughly enjoyable. Well worth the money!

Thank-you for your feedback James.
The Maputo City Super Tour is a great opportunity to see SO much of Maputo, and yes, with informative guide and driver!

What a great tour! Our driver was Alfainho and our guide was Milton. Between them we had a wonderful overview of the city. We started at the beautiful train station and ended across the Katembe bridge for a delicious seafood lunch. The city is extremely diverse and we tweaked the itinerary a bit to see some of the Saturday weddings in the botanical garden and one at a church! We also saw all the top spots including the Lemon Squeezy Church. In direct contrast we had a drive through the Mafalala neighborhood which is ramshackle housing and dirt play areas. Quite sad to see all the children playing barefoot with only one ball for all of them and then just a few blocks later you have nice housing and shops. Everywhere we went people were smiling and we heard lots of music. Milton did a great job of explaining everything and making sure to keep everyone happy. He did his best to minimize walking for those with walkers and poc’s and assisting as needed!

Thank-you for taking the time to review the Maputo City Super Tour Judi. We're glad you had a wonderful day!
Thanks also for pointing out that on this original Maputo City Super Tour we dont only see the historical Maputo but we also see the flash new side of the city, and the real Maputo life lesser wealthy suburbs.

Great tour. Got to every site . We varied and spent time at botanical gardens where weddings take place every Saturday. Wonderful experience. Also got to see the inner city which was eye opening. Seeing the soccer field which had no grass….. dirt and sand. Bare feet. Fort very interesting. Guide Milton was very informative. Vehicle nice and a/c. Finished at beachfront restaurant with tasty seafood large prawns on our own.

Charles is a great tour guide. He showed us so many sights in Maputo and told us so much about the city and country. Highly recommend!

The Lemon squeeze church it’s unique❤️. I have never seen something like this before. Food at Katembe beach restaurant(O Farol) was delicious ❤️❤️

Thanks for being wonderful clients, I'm glad you enjoyed our Super Tour. We are getting wonderful feedback with this new stop for lunch in Katembe, the views to Maputo City are fantastic.

The tour was well planned, we saw a lot of Maputo in the short term. The guide explained everything well.

Hi Marcel,
Thank-you for you review and we will learn from this and make it more clear on the platform that on Sundays the Municipal Building and Iron House are closed.
Egas, your guide, and Alfainho, your driver, are very sad that they have received their first ever poor review. They work extra hard to make sure all of our clients are left satisfied with our tours.
Yes, the Town hall & Iron House are closed on Sundays (And Saturdays), they only open Monday to Friday as they are functioning offices.
Many of our clients have loved seeing the Maputo Cathedral full of Mozambican Catholics, we're sorry that this was an inconvenience in your case.
I think you refer to the Maputo Museum? It's actually been closed for renovation for 6 months now. We still pass by there for it's famous gothic architecture.
Regarding the lunch stop in Katembe, we usually go to O Farol for lunch if there is space. It's one of the most popular places in Maputo and is often full not only because of the quality of food, but also because of its fair prices. Egas told me that he made it very clear our stop for lunch there is optional. Most of our clients enjoy crossing the famous Maputo-Katembe Bridge and seeing Maputo from the other side of the river. We only stop for lunch if the client wishes.
Despite the Iron House and Municipal Building being closed all of the other 12 stops on the tour were open as normal (We don't actually normally enter the Iron House in our tours)
Once again, thank-you for the important feedback, we will change the description to make sure travellers are aware that these two stops can only be seen from outside on Saturdays and Sundays.
