I believe that every place has a history. Mozambique, a pearl of the Indian Ocean whose capital is Maputo has a lot to discover, see, live and remember. As a Guide, since 2013, I strive to tell these stories in an interesting and informative way. Visiting the scenario in which the story evolved brings a sense of reality to the visits. I plan my routes through interesting areas, transmitting as much local knowledge as possible along the way, since many visitors want to see where and how local people live, so I use routes that allow this view. I have no defined itineraries. I strive to offer a quality personal experience that is unique and unforgettable. I appreciate individual communication, discussing points of interest raised by tourists. I personalize the itinerary to suit special interests and I am happy to change things during the tour, as long as there is no inconvenience. All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions - Hello, my name is Balzac. I'm Tour Guide registered at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Mozambique. National Directorate of Tourism - Card Number 37 - 2022 None.
