It was very good tour with Ivone and her driver. Here is my store and share it with you. Due to my reason, I rescheduled the tour meeting time from 8AM to 10AM. Ivone messaged and called me and it was very smooth to start my tour from the Cruise port. Ivone provided full tour without cutting anything short. It was a wonderful experience. To express my thanks, I did give them 30% tip. Thanks Ivone again.

Not a very informative or interesting tour. Lots of driving not much information. Didn’t include much local history. Usual tourists stops, nothing customized even though it was a private tour. Guide did not introduce herself, no identification, was not clear on where we were going or seeing.

Angola was nice, sunny and warm just what I was looking for my winter vacation. I stayed quite far from the Luanda city center, which was not ei nice, but on the other hand it was nice. The surroundings were quiet, ecxept the music from the next door bar, but they stopped early. I had two tours, City tour and safari, provided by Luzaya tours operator. Both were well organized, pick up and drop off from my residence. I was staying in Recidencial Ru-B, or Espaco Rub and residence in Benfica Area, Zona Verde. It was nice place, very clean, not even those small ants like normally in Africa/Asia. The restaurant by chef Mauro served very good food. Elaine and Neide were nice and helpful all the time. I was told that Angola is dangerous, I did not notice any threat, but ok I am quite big man. If you are looking for a nice warm winter holiday, I recommend Angola.

It was a bit of a whirlwind tour, but so want my visit to Luanda. I think Luanda would be easy to visit on your own, but I just didn't have enough time. This tour showed me the highlights and I learned a bit about the history of Angola. The visit to the viewpoint of the moon and the slavery museum were great. There was also a craft market where I bought a mask. I was traveling solo but I was paired up with a family on the tour, which was nice. Good tour and good value. Recommended for those short on time.

I was on my way to Sao Tome and the cheapest way was on TAAG Angolan airlines from Lisbon. When i booked the flight i just had just 3 hours in Luanda, but, as often seems to happen, 3 days before leaving, i was informed this had been changed to an 11 hour layover. However, instead of getting in a snit and writing a strongly worded letter to the airline, i decided to just go with the flow, and booked this trip....what larks. The first thing i have to advise everyone who is in this position, as you may not be aware, i certainly wasnt, but Luanda has 2 airports, the 4th Fevereiro which is really close to the city, and a giant, new one, Antonio Agostinho Neto which is 50km outside the main city. Im sure you can guess which one my flight from Lisbon arrived in, and which one the guide thought i was flying into. However, we sorted that out, and for a mere $30 US extra, he came and picked me up, and dropped me back at the huge new airport almost 2 hours drive away. Woop Woop. So...my friends all think im mad doing these trips as a solo 64 year old woman, but, honestly, ive done these layover things all over the world, and the only difference with Luanda, is that i decided not to do it alone, and booked this because i was travelling hand luggage only, as i do, so had everything with me. I also had come off 3 flights, one of which was overnight, and i couldnt be bothered with the hassle of deciding where to go and how to get there. Best decision. The guide and the driver were young Angolan men, and they were delightful, informative, friendly and interesting. We went to the slavery museum which was really interesting (in a really horrible, sad way) because, while we all know about the kidnap and removal of African people from Ghana and Senegal, i had no idea how many people were also stolen from so much further south. The experience was, however, lightened by a deluge of local school children visiting the museum, who listened to their teachers, and were so well behaved it just blew my mind compared to kids at home. We also visited the fort of San Miguel, drove along the corniche, did a bit of shopping (i was so glad that i couldnt really buy anything as i still had 3 countries to go and carry-on only...i could have spent a fortune in the markets), had coffee and just cruised around town. It was very laid back and i loved every minute. Ideal city trip for a layover, and i really recommend this. Honestly, who has ever said to you...'Luanda is on my bucket list'...no one right. But actually its a pretty cool city with beautiful beaches, cool architecture and a lot of history, however uncomfortable that might be for us Europeans. If you have the opportunity, i really recommend this tour.
