I had been in Maputo for a almost a week and felt I really hadn’t experienced the city. I decided to take the Baixa walking tour on my last day to get a true feel of life in Maputo. I was greeted by my three tour guides promptly and we were off for what turned out to be a real experience. At all the stops the guides gave me plenty of information, took pictures for me and with me, and answered all of my questions. I’m really glad I took the tour even though it was about 100 degrees out.

Our tour guide was excellent - he spoke very good English. He was prompt in meeting us at the terminal when he said he would be there. He kept the pace of the tour exactly as we had hoped. We did get to see the things that were planned and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we learned a lot about Maputo and Mozambique. He readily answered our questions and we appreciated his insights.Egas was an outstanding guide. He arrived early at our meeting spot and led us to all the key sights of Maputo.
