Total scam

SCAM SCAM SCAM DO NOT BOOK This tour is a scam, the operator will not turn up as per other reviews. We stupidly gave them the benefit of the doubt and booked. Viator are now refusing to refund also, very disappointed with them also regarding this process

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the frustration and disappointment you faced, as this is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide. We take issues like no-shows and miscommunication very seriously. Unfortunately, it seems there was a breakdown in communication on that day, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and stress this caused you. We also regret that the situation escalated to a dispute, and we’re glad Viator was able to investigate and resolve the matter fairly. Your feedback about contacting us in advance and documenting communication is noted, and we are actively working on improving our responsiveness, confirming meeting points more clearly, and ensuring our contact numbers are always reachable to both travelers and locals. While we’re sorry we couldn’t be part of the positive outcome of your day, we’re glad to hear that you were ultimately able to enjoy Walvis Bay with another guide and end your day on a high note. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve, and we genuinely wish you all the best in your future travels.

Frans was an excellent guide letting us know of the history of Namibia and meeting the people of Swakopmund.

Disappointing

Zoe_L, May 2024

Our tour was cancelled last minute and we were left with no other options for tours. Our money was taken from our account and we have not been given a refund yet.

Great tour

Rod_E, Mar 2024

Even though we disembarked 2 hours late from our cruise ship, Frans waited for us. He was a great guide and a great singer as well. Great day had by all.

Well worth it

A wonderful chance to meet the people of the Mondesa township. The children at both stops were a delight singing and dancing for us! We enjoyed the hospitality of locals who invited us into their home and fed us local dishes which were excellent! We were then entertained by Rivonia choir - brilliant! Superb guide Frans.

Very disappointed due to poor communication

Thomas_F, Dec 2023

Never got to take the tour due to tour operator's poor explanation on meeting point. So I was charged for 5 persons and never experienced anything but disappointment. Evidently this tour operator couldn't access the pier pickup area that all the other tour operators could..

Local Guided Walvisbay & Swakopmund Township Experience Day Tour

It was very insightful seeing how some tribes live and learning about the ‘clicking’ language. We were invited to a lunch at one of the family homes. The people were so gracious and hospitable and trying the various foods was quite an experience. I loved seeing the children and how happy and friendly they were. Our guide was wonderful and I would highly recommend this tour.

Discover Local people and culture.

This was an excellent tour, exceeding the impressions given in the description. The highlights were a small meal of traditional local food during which we were serenaded by a small a cappella group singing to the table, and a visit to a local primary school to meet and interact with the 'library prefects' who sang their school song and talked to us about football and books.
