View on Google MapsAfter some tour operators had argued for half an hour who was in charge of us and first it had to be clarified that we had actually paid in advance, we found ourselves in an SUV without a license plate after some vehicle changes. A person in charge then explained to us that the booked tour could no longer take place like this due to the delay and had to be reduced to a city tour. Due to our intervention that the same tour was also offered by the cruise company by bus with a lot of people, some of them with reduced mobility, we started. We were assigned Domenicas, a 21-year-old English student, as a "tour guide." She actually spoke very good English. However, it turned out very quickly that your foreign language skills were the only useful qualification. She came from an Angolan province. Our questions about country and people could regularly only answer you superficially after Google searches, just what a 21-year-old from the province with no background knowledge and life experience knows or does not know from internet searches. I then configured the promised Wifi internet access for us on your mobile phone. We drove to the lookout "Luna", which is also lt. Tour description should be approached. Apart from the beautiful view, unfortunately nothing more could be learned. Before we went on, the driver made it clear that it could be close with the timely return to the cruise ship if we were still going to the next tour point "Cabo Ledo". So back to the city on the same road as we had come. The driving style was a mixture of very optimistic and overmotivated. After our hint that we would like to get back to the ship in one piece, things got better. Back in Luanda City we drove to a beach where a photo of evidence was taken and sent to the boss Mr. Nelson was sent. Here, too, Domenicas shrouded itself in silence, even as we drove past the fort or the parliament building, for example. Instead, she tried her hand at being a talented young pop singer, so at least the mood was good. Conclusion: Too bad about the opportunity to get to know Luanda and the coastal region, because you can not get there again that easily. But that's how it is when a qualified guide is replaced by a 21-year-old student with very limited knowledge but a cheerful disposition (whether for cost or capacity reasons, we probably won't know). So, even top-rated tours booked through TripAdvisor are no guarantee of a good experience. Too bad about the money, but again an example of "TiS" (This is Africa). P.S.: By the way, instead of the agreed time at 3.30pm at 2pm we were already back on the ship; so much for the tight timeline.

I had an amazing day accompanied by a friendly guide Ms. Domingas and the driver Mr. Adilson. They knew exactly the beautiful spots to visit and let me fully enjoy myself and my time. Ms. Domingas added positive vibes to the trip and Mr. Adilson made sure that we drove safely.
