This landmark as well as the surrounding features such as the oldest hotel in the city will give the travelers an insight into the 3 arms of the state namely judiciary, legislative and executive. Travelers will be given a brief but detailed history of the country and continent that is in 3 phases namely pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial Zimbabwe is one of the countries that have a very diverse culture as well as a great religious diversity so travelers will be given a good orientation of the different religions found in the country and they will be shown some of the places of worship in and around the city

Rent Smart made it so much easier for me to access long term rental properties. I just like how its easy to access and how I managed to secure a better deal by connecting directly with the property owner.
The driver or tour guide failed to show up or bother to communicate. I was waiting for over an hour. Do not ever use these people, they are crooks.
The tour guide failed to show on the designated day and time and we had to make alternative arrangements. I have requested a full refund.
We apologise for the inconvinences caused we experienced a technical challenge where booking emails were not coming through and we are working to resolve the challenges
Too expensive, too short and lovely guides. Book early or you will be cheated of your time. The balancing Rocks was the best part!
We appreciate your feedback and we have since made some adjustments to our booking cut off times which have been affecting the duration of the tours
Beyond impressed! The pre-tour briefing was a nice touch, and they provided the right level of relevant cultural and historical insight throughout the day. They are personable, knowledgeable and very friendly. Very happy to have shared my first experience eating road-runner and drinking maheu with them. Nothing but superlatives for this tour company. I highly recommend them and would love to give 6 stars. I also recommend their concierge services for a worry-free and enjoyable holiday!
This was a very good tour. I saw sights of Harare and the surrounding area that I wouldn’t have any other way. Craig and Jerry were amazing!
No lunch , I was back in my hotel before 2 pm It only lasted 3 hours tours walk around town a bit. And no air conditioner car The only good thing was the balancing rocks …. And the museum ….
We value your feedback and have since put some corrective measures in place. Our tours do not include lunch but our guides are happy to take you to some of the good restaurants around Harare as part of the experience, however the cost of the lunch is still on the customer
A very beautiful country. Zimbabweans are friendly. The country is full of treasures: Victoria Falls, Lake Kariba, the Vumba Mountains, Gonarezhou Park, Great Zimbabwe...plus other reserves.
It was good, that we not only saw the highlights of Zimbabwe, but also went through regions, where the common people live. Our guides, Trish and Andy, were very friendly and competent and could answer most of our questions.
The tour was a great way to see the city and learn about the area. My tour guide, Trish, was very friendly and did a great job showing the highlights as well as focusing on aspects that I was more interested in.
