Gaborone with Otto - Otto was amazing. You can tell she is excited to talk about her history. She was very personable, it was like talking to my little sister. I really enjoyed my time on her tour and hopefully I can bring my parents next time.

Do not miss this tour if you're in Botswana - Meeting Otto was like meeting an old friend who I could chat to for hours. True to the name of her company, Otto proudly introduced me to the heritage and rich culture of Botswana and the history of the country. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe and comfortable and would highly recommend this tour.

Well spent and insightful few hours! - Our tour guide Otto was very knowledge and above all, very patient and friendly with my kids. Unfortunately, we couldn't get to take pictures at the Three Chiefs Monument because there was a private event by The Culturati and the security/organizer wanted us to pay to take pictures. Quite sad, but Otto offered to take us another day if possible. The rest of the tour was great, learnt a lot about Bostwana history, got to taste indigenous nuts and we even got to see a wedding going on as we drove pass the modern village.

Exploring Gabarone - We had an amazing time touring Gabarone with Heritage Adventures. Our guide really tailor made the trip for our interests and their historical knowledge of the area brought a whole new dimension to the experience. We even took part in a jewelry workshop. I can thoroughly recommend this tour.

A very authentic and lovely tour I can highly recommend. - Wonderful tour of Gaborone. The company is owned by Otto and her husband Andy. We had Otto as our guide. She grew up in gaborone, and is very knowledgeable. We were picked up by our hotel, walked at the local market and also visited the university grounds. A very authentic and lovely tour I can highly recommend.
