“Markets markets markets! I love having a guide to visit local markets, where I would be totally lost on my own. My favorite part was talking to a natural healer about his practices and his personal history being called to the practice.” - Reviewed at 2023-12-11

“Fantastic experience - I was in Maputo in May it was a project with the university. My colleague and I wanted to visit Mafalala, because we had heard about it, but we were advised not to go alone being not local. We set out on a search for a guided tour and came across this fantastic experience, which includes both a guided tour of the neighborhood and a gastronomic experience.” - Reviewed at 2024-09-09
