5.00Well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. Good communication before the day. A selection of architecture to see and discuss. Yivone, our guide was utterly charming and most knowledgeable about her country's development. The indoor market was an extraordinary collection of traders and produce. It revealed the struggle to survive for parts of Luanda. Ships tours probably don't include this aspect. Very highly recommended.

4.00Great tour which shows the highlights of the Luanda. My guide was very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of interesting information about the city of Luanda I only wish that they told me that on Sundays many of the attractions would have been closed so that I can reschedule my booking, but other than this, great tour!

Exploring Luanda beyond the two hours appetizer

5.00I had a very good experience with our guide Silana two hours was very good because Silana was diligent on her explanations and time management. Luanda is big and interesting city, so two hours is just an appetizer.
Trustworthy and great tour
