5.00Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. Good communication before the day. A selection of architecture to see and discuss. Yivone, our guide was utterly charming and most knowledgeable about her country's development. The indoor market was an extraordinary collection of traders and produce. It revealed the struggle to survive for parts of Luanda. Ships tours probably don't include this aspect. Very highly recommended.
Great tour which shows...

4.00Great tour which shows the highlights of the Luanda. My guide was very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of interesting information about the city of Luanda I only wish that they told me that on Sundays many of the attractions would have been closed so that I can reschedule my booking, but other than this, great tour!
Great experience discovering Luanda!
