I only had one full day to experience Gaborone, Botswana so I decided to book this tour so I could see all that I could, turns out I chose well with this one! My guide, Andy, picked me up from my hotel at 9 am and ended when he dropped me back off at 1 pm. We visited many notable spots in Gaborone including the Three Dikgosi Monument to learn about Botswana’s History, the Main Mall to shop for crafts and local foods, the University of Botswana, and the Thapong Visual Arts Centre. I learned and saw a lot in Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana today and a big thank you to my guide, Andy, for doing great job being my guide for this tour! If you’re looking for a tour that shows you Gaborone in just one day definitely consider booking this tour! Highly recommended! - Nolan

What a wonderful half day. Otto was so friendly and full of information and she went way beyond the call of duty to make sure I had a good experience. She took me to the National Museum which I highly recommend.
Best guide in Southern Africa I’ve ever had!

Otto is absolutely amazing. My only regret is that I didn’t book a full day tour with her because time passed too quickly. The itinerary was great, but Otto’s personality and knowledge of her country made the trip even more amazing. I can’t recommend her enough!

Our group of 15 had an amazing Gabarone City Tour with our tour guide, Andy. He was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He exceeded everyone’s expectations. Otto was so responsive in helping me arrange the tour customizing for our group. I would highly recommend this company.

Otto was amazing. You can tell she is excited to talk about her history. She was very personable, it was like talking to my little sister. I really enjoyed my time on her tour and hopefully I can bring my parents next time.
