An insightful and enjoyable tour of Dili

5.00This tour provided me a context that would have been missed if I explored independently, about contemporary life in Dili. The group was guided not just through local markets, but also vibrant neighborhoods. I enjoyed it.
Very expensive tour

4.00The experience was very overpriced! I really doubt that our guide received much of this overpriced tour. The entire tour was covered although some of the sights were closed. It might help to get authorization to have a church opened or a portion of parliament building especially at your prices. The guide and her helper were charming and knowledgeable. They made the experience worthwhile but not the expense.
What we liked most about this tour was its exclusivity

5.00We did see a lot of street art during this walking tour. We saw the War Memorial Museum, Cristo Rei statue and some more historical places. Timorese cuisine was uniquely different for us, but delicious. I appreciate that the tour guide took the time to tell us about the history to Dili.
