Upon my arrival to Maputo I booked a tour with the above mentioned tour operating company through TripAdvisor. I made the booking via TripAdvisor and payment was made. Just to receive and email from the operators informing me that in the chosen date there is no availability and thus we agreed on Tuesday, 31 December at 10h00. On the day I was in communication with the operator and they informed me they are on their way. I waited till 12h00 and I send numerous messages (via whatsapp) and called but I was ignored. Till today I have not received an apology or some type of explanation. Does TripAdvisor not communicate with companies regarding their availability? Payment was made already as I had to give my information. Will I be getting a refund since the company was a no show? There has to be better communication between companies in this regard. I am disappointed at the service I received from both companies and feel lied to. Going forward I will warn people not to make any type of tours via TripAdvisor and when in Maputo not to use Vibe Experience. This is totally unacceptable. Kind Regards Albertina
