2 days hiking in Inhaca. I went twice before to Inhaca on my own. this specific adventure allows you to access to some areas you would not know on your own. It was hard walking at the end of the day but while in the action you do not notice as you take your time and the team is always attentive. 3 or 4 team members were always with us one of them local from the island which was great as you could see he wanted to share the beautiful areas of his island with you. well organized and as I said access to some places where you would not go on your own

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

I was in Maputo only for a few days. On my one free day, I wanted to experience more of the city. I really learned a lot in those few hours, saw some very cool, historic sites and heard some great stories. I hope to go back to Maputo, but for now, this tour left me feeling like I had a wonderful introduction to downtown Maputo, learned some interesting history and got to see very interesting architecture.

I did a tour of downtown with Calisto, who is an excellent guide. I cannot recommend him enough - he is extremely knowledgeable about the city, history, and architecture, and was able to answer all of my questions. He is clearly passionate about his work, patient - I never felt hurried - and helpful. He is perfect for travellers that want to understand Mozambique then and now. I look forward to returning to the city and doing more tours with him!
