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

4.00We waited in a hot parking lot for the start of the tour that began 20 minutes late. However, we still made the rounds around town and got a good overall view of life in Luanda.
Definitley Worth the Money!

A quick tour of Sao Tome

4.00We arrived at the meeting spot on time. There were much confusion with the employees at the location. We were told the bus was not available until later. We waited in the hot sun for over an hour before a half broken down bus arrived. The bus has a broken window and no air conditioning. Our guide Ivone did her best to remedy the problem. She provided us with refund for half of the cost due to the inconvenient. She also bought us cold drinks at the gas station before the tour. She did a great job and provided us with the necessary information about the city. She actually made the tour bearable. I would recommend this trip because it is much cheaper than what the cruise ship has to offer.
Disappointing

1.00Poorly organized tour. Had to wait 2 hours in the heat for our bus. Staff had no idea what was happening. When a bus finally arrived others who had also been waiting quite some time got on first and there was no space for our group. Finally another bus arrived 2 hours late. Our tour guide gave no cometary and when asked he didn’t seem to know much of any thing. We booked a city tour but saw very little. Water and snacks were to be provided but we only received water when we asked and we had to stop for the driver to buy it. No snacks were provided Very disappointed we would not recommend this company
