Maputo, the Mozambican capital city is a result of several cultural, political and social changes through
time. Today, the old merges with the modern tendencies as the transformation continues.
Throughout time, the change along the country and especially the city of Maputo has been complex
but also incredible. After a devastating civil war in the Country, Maputo is now being transformed into a
more cosmopolitan city without loosing its original traits, that truly defines the city’s soul.

José was very careful with the route we made and we were able to see the main points of Maputo safely.

5.00We had a great shore excursion with Simon (not sure of spelling). His English was excellent and he was very knowledgeable about the history and sites in Maputo. I would highly recommend Mabeco Tours if you want to visit Maputo.

4.00Loved the Maputo tour and Simao was friendly, well spoken and informative. We loved the train station especially and the square (think it's called Revolutionary Square). Couldnt visit the Cathedral becase The Pope was in Maputo and happened to be at the Cathedral at the time! (Il Papa in Portugese we discovered). The central market was interesting. The craft centre would have been great if we could have just looked at things in peace without the traders pouncing on us every time we so much as looked at anything. I've travelled lots in Southern Africa and I'm familiar with this but it ALWAYS spoils the experience and my fellow visitors from UK found it most uncomfortable and wanted to leave straight away and didn't buy anything when they might have otherwise. Other than this small negative I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

5.00Simão is a friendly, well-informed guide who goes out of his way to provide his guests with decent all-round knowledge of the history of the city, starting from before the Portuguese occupation, through colonialisation, war of independence and civil war. He took us to all the major landmarks and provided interesting backgrounds on each. A tour well worth joining if you're looking for an introduction to Maputo.
