Great day of exploring! - If you plan on visiting Lusaka, this is a must have on your to do list! Petros made us feel very welcomed and safe while exploring throughout the local markets. Seeing the baby elephants at the orphanage was an amazing experience, as was eating at one of the local markets in Lusaka. We never would have had this type of experience if it wasn’t for Petros. Thank you again!!!!

A fantastic day - A very authentic tour of the city, far from typical. We have gone to very local markets and corners that we found very interesting. An intense and super-immersive experience

Lusaka in true mode!!! - If you want to live the true experience of Lusaka, this is it. Petros takes you to some super-local spots you’ll never find on your own. Between the crazy energy of the Soweto market and the ultra authentic street BBQ, it’s not a pretty ride for tourists... it’s the real life of the street. It feels like you’re immersed directly in the wild heart of the city. Frankly, huge.

Perfect family tour - We were a bit nervous about an 8-hour tour with our 5-year-old son, but this experience was absolutely perfect for our family. Our guide, Petros, was the key. He was so patient and wonderful with our son, and we felt completely safe in his clean, comfortable car. The flexibility of a private tour meant we could go at our own pace, which is a lifesaver with a little one. The itinerary was a huge hit. The look on our son's face when he saw the baby elephants running for their milk was priceless! Even the busy soweto Market was fascinating for him because Petros made it an adventure. Highly recommended

Solo in africa! - I booked this as a solo traveler and got incredibly lucky! I had, Petros, the guide, all to myself for the entire day! It was a fantastic experience. Having a one-on-one tour meant I could ask a million questions and really dive deep into Zambian culture. Petros is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and a true gentleman. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a local friend. If you get the chance to do this tour solo, don't hesitate. It's an unbeatable experience.

Awesome way to see the... - Awesome way to see the highlights of Lusaka. Petros communicates quickly and clearly and goes out of his way to be accommodating. I would probably opt to cut the Freedom Statue in lieu of more time at the Elephant Nursery, perhaps adding a game drive option. I also thought Petros took too many photos of me.
