5.00I was in Maputo in May it was a project with the university. My colleague and I wanted to visit Mafalala, because we had heard about it, but we were advised not to go alone being not local. We set out on a search for a guided tour and came across this fantastic experience, which includes both a guided tour of the neighborhood and a gastronomic experience. It was a fantastic opportunity to get in touch with the local culture. The Guide was very precise and helpful, made us feel safe during the visit and allowed us to delve into the streets of Mafalala. At the end of the walk we could taste the typical dishes and chat with Mario, who takes care of the organization, very nice and helpful. Recommendation fully
