1.00Suppose to be a five hour tour got three at best. Don't think i got any information that wasn't on the placards at these ruins. Was good to see not worth $80 though when it cost Americans $30 to enter. Not a long drive the hotel would have taken me there. Lunch consisted of a beer, about ten nuts and some type of salted jerky. The company only takes cash (as thier theifs). Was to go on the great zimbabwe ruins and one other. My card got stolen so cant get anymore cash so i had to cancel the remaining tours. Good thing! From what i can tell (from the hotel) they are the only tour company. Don't think there going to suggest them again but it is africa. Did get to go to the site i cant remember as the hotel took me there. No need to give these looser another $200 for that tour as i don't think i missed much
An unmissable place for lovers of history and archaeological sites

5.00It is an excellent tour with an excellent guide, the tour of this place exceeded my expectations, the truth is that the photos and videos that I had seen do not do it justice, the place is very impressive. For those of us who like history and archaeological sites, this is a must-see in Zimbabwe. After the tour we finished eating and enjoying refreshing drinks.
