This 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!

This tour gave us a good overall view of Dar es Salaam. Our guide Erick was an excellent "host" who gave us just the right amount of information and was unfailingly patient with my frequent requests for photo stops.

on 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.
