A full day tour of lovely Dar

4.00Envoyage Tanzania was very professional. They communicated the day before pickup and the pickup was pretty much on time. Our full-day guide spoke well. We were supposed to just pass by St Joseph but we did a long stop; ditto for the Askari monument. We greatly appreciated the Lutheran Church visit as well as the Village Museum, which gave us a great glimpse into the different regions of Tanzania. My wife was able to get a souvenir piece from the Mwenge woodcarvers market so that was a valuable stop. We were also impressed with the War Cemetery. It was unfortunate that the National Museum was closed on that day. We also somehow skipped the visit to DARCH and just passed by Coco Beach. Still, despite the omissions, we believe we saw a lot of Dar Es Salaam.
This is a great tour to...

5.00This is a great tour to get to know Dar Es Salaam. The start time was an easy nine am, lasted most of the day, and in the words of a colleague who lives here "you know Dar better than I do!" Maselino was a great host. Very knowledgeable!
An enjoyable and informative tour

5.00on this excellent day tour we experienced the history, culture, and the hustle and bustle of this large city with our Envoyage Tanzania guide, Marselino. He was an amazingly knowledgeable guide with excellent English and always polite, helpful and courteous. Marselino took us through all the important places, including the very busy fish market and the packed with people and vehicles central trading area of the city. It was all very fascinating. We can highly recommend this tour. Thank you for guiding us so well.
