Summary: Had a great morning exploring downtown Maputo with Nelton, who was very informative and personable. I learned not only about what sites we visited but how they relate both to Mozambican history and current society. We were even able to add a couple stops at the train museum and a nearby gallery because I had interest.

Summary: A very good experience with my guide Nelton. The tour gave a good insight to the historical figures in Maputo from colonial age up until today, as well as some sights in the city. Trough Nelsons experience i got a understanding of how the people of Mozambique have progressed in time, with struggels of colonialism, as well how the independence give both oppertuneties and challenges. It was a good conversation as we walked the city. Recommended.
