What a cool dude! So much fun! :)

Reviewed January 20, 2023

My boyfriend and I found a cheap flight to Mozambique. However, we didn't know how to get around, so we contacted Stin! He picked us up at the airport in Maputo and drove us all the way to Tofo . Even when our travel plans changed (well there was a really loud electronic music festival next to our bungalow which we hated), he was flexible and picked us up a few days later in Morongulu (which is like 12 hours away from Maputo). He shared a lot of insights  about Mozambique with us which was very interesting (also he is super funny haha!). Also it is very uncommon to find such a responsible, conservative driver in Africa. Stin made sure he doesn't exceed the speed limit and he drove in a very responsible manner. Stin didn't just drop us off in town, he brought us all the way into the hotel and arranged luggage help.

At the end we went to Swasiland and Kruger on a 2 day safari. What a fun trip! I don't understand other reviews that say he wasn't aware of time. Stin really had an eye on the clock and he knew when the borders close. Everything went according to plan and we saw everything we wanted to see :)

Touring with Stin felt like touring with a newly gained friend :) Many greetings to Stin and his wife and kids!

Ernestinho, my guide , my friend.

Reviewed May 26, 2019

I found Ernestinho ( Stin - as he like to be called) here at Tour HQ and made my booking for his services in Maputo (5 days) & Vilanculos (7 days) for my trip in May 2019. It was my first time to Africa & Mozambique,

Stin collected me from the Maputo airport and took me to me hotel. We hit it off pretty much straightaway. The tours Stin organised were great, I could not have asked for better service, the vehicles were reliable and had no problems.

I met Stin's family one evening and we had dinner together, it was a delight.

Stin arranged for another guide Nelio ( his business partner in Vilanculos) to provide various tours in the 2nd week of my travels in Mozambique. Nelio also looked after me very well and I could not fault the service provided.

I will remember my trip to Mozambique forever. 

Guys we will stay in contact and I will be recommending both of you to all  my friends and buisness associates who are thinking of travelling to Mozambique.

All the best.

Great guide - better person

Reviewed April 13, 2019

I've travelled all over the world and what I've learned is that at the end of the day a great guide becomes a friend. He or she has put that little extra that makes a tour a learning and human experience. Stin has a style that puts people at ease and I mean that literally. He guided my wife and I through the backallies of Mafalala with ease and grace. All his encounters with people were framed in a smile that reflected on us and thus we were welcomed with love. What more can one ask of a guide. Mafalala was an experience that made me think and I am a better person for it. It's about the Love.

Thanks Stin, like I said to you, "Stin you the Man!"

Maputo city tour with Stin.

Reviewed January 28, 2019

Stin communicated clearly from the beginning of our negotiations. . He was on time and was very informed about the country’s history,  and knew facts about present day business dealings and social/cultural information which I loved.  He helped me barter some at the market buying batiks. He was clear with our group of 10 how to safe and not encounter problems with the armed guards.
