Great journey through the history of the city

5.003.5 km walk through the city, to the historic buildings and squares of the city. Romeo was an entertaining guide with wit and humor who, in addition to facts, also knew how to report details of people's everyday lives vividly and with a wink. Highly recommended.

5.00Confirmation of reservation was amazingly quick- I received a WhatsApp message from tour guide Aylton within minutes. My booking was last minute so I really appreciated his availability and quick response. The tour itself was great. Definitely worth it to see the historic sites of the city and learn about Mozambican history and culture from a local. We went to some places I never could have seen or enjoyed on my own. Some nice surprises along the way, including sampling fruit I never saw before in my life (and I’ve traveled extensively). Aylton’s English language was very good and I highly recommend booking a tour with him.
Informative tour and friendly guide!
