Excellent. Many places - one excursion. - We have the best impressions from this excursion, which enabled us to see many aspects of Namibia in a relatively short time. Actually it was the only excursion in Tripadvisor that offered so much in such a reasonable price. The only issue, one with the meeting point, was resolved swifty, and then everything went smoothly. Our driver was knowledgeable, eager to explain, patient, agreeable and kind. The places were various and interesting, from the slums to the 'Beverly Hills' of Walvis Bay, from the flamingos of the lagoon to Dune 7, from the Namib desert to the beautiful traditional German town of Swakopmund, they covered a wide range. All in all, we felt that we saw a comprehensive view of the place, and we gladly recommend this tour.

Great cultural experience - Wow, what an amazing day Frans gave us! Pick up at the port gate was easy and I have to say everybody that we encountered was as friendly and kind as could be. We had a cultural tour of Mondesa with stops at several houses of different tribes and met and heard from so many people! At one home we enjoyed trying several local foods after watching Rivonia sing and dance for us. We then toured Swakopmund, the sand dunes, Walvis Bay and a lagoon full of storks before heading back to port. Two of us travel with walkers and poc’s and this was very easy with minimal walking. Frans even found a smaller sand dune for me so I could climb up a short distance! Highly recommend this tour!

Book at your own risk. - If you’re willing to book this tour despite the reviews saying he’s a no-show like I was, I recommend emailing a few days ahead to increase your chances of a response and get your full refund the day before if you don’t hear anything. Not only did he never show up, but when I requested a refund for him not showing up, he responded to Viator saying HE was the one to wait and WE never showed up! 🙄 Thankfully, after requesting an investigation and submitting all the screenshots of us attempting to contact him with no response, Viator gave me the full refunded amount back. We ended up with a separate Tour guide named Eugene completely separate from this booking and he even charged 30% less after all we went through! So that really made the day end on a high note instead of the low note it started on. We told him to try adding a profile to Viator because he really did make the whole fiasco worth it in the end, but as of me writing this he doesn’t have one so hopefully I can add an update later. In conclusion document everything, try contacting him early, and I hope your visit to Walvis Bay is a success fellow travelers! P. S. Call the number listed under the business information because even locals weren’t getting a ring so look out for that.

Guide no show - don't book, this is scam - Guide was a no-show. Tuyani of Explorer Cultural Township Tours, local operator gave a non-existent phone number that was not reachable. Viator refused to refund. DON'T BOOK, IT'S A SCAM. There were 8 of us that were stood up.
