I don't recomend this...
I don't recomend this tour operator for any tours. He called last minute at 7AM (when I was trying to reach him on the phone as well as via text) and cancelled my tour. I was stranded and didn't do anything the whole day. Don't book any tours with these guys........ they gave me the refund. But, what's the point!!!!!!

FANTASTIC!!!
The most memorable part was seeing the waterfall, 135 flight of stairs hike, making coffee from scratch, having small fish nipple at our feet, and swimming in the warm springs water that comes directly from the volcano.

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!!!
My friends and I booked and paid for this tour in May. I received a WhatsApp message confirming our booking from David Victor within 24 hours of booking. Two weeks prior to the trip I reached out through Tripadvisor and WhatsApp to confirm the pickup information. I did not receive a response from David Victor until the day before our tour. At that time he confirmed our pickup location and time. At 5:20am on the day of our tour David Victor sent a message that the drive was running 30 minutes behind schedule. Just after 7:00am a driver arrived and told us he was instructed to bring us to meet his colleague. We were driven to a cafe where we met David Victor. He told us that he was unable to get our money from the bank and asked if we could pay him in cash for the tour and he would refund our money through Tripadvisor. We told him we did not have cash, but since we paid for the full tour in advance the money is there and we should be provided the tour. David Victor then asked us if we could just go to the ATM to get cash. Again, we declined. He refused to take us on the tour. He did refund our money through Tripadvisor, but he also followed us to the car trying to get us to change our minds. Once back in the car the driver informed us that it was his first day working with David Victor. He received a call from him at 6:30am asking him to pick us up by 7:00 am. The driver showed us his phone log to confirm the call. Our tour pick up time was supposed to be 6:30am, which David Victor confirmed the evening before the tour. Due to the late start and last minute cancellation we missed out on an experience that we had been looking forward to, due to bad business practices. I hope this information assist others selecting another tour company, so they do not have the same experience on their vacation!

Wasted Trip
I did not book my tour through Trip Advisor but did so through Viator however I am not seeing an option to leave a review there . This provider is a scam , on the evening before my tour an agent named Victor came to my hotel and told me that if I still wanted to do this tour I would need to cancel my booking with Viator and pay him directly the $92 that I had paid Viator and that eventually Viator would give me a refund . He said taking me on the tour would not be profitable for him as Viator would take over a month to pay him and he needed his money asap . I told him that at that point I didn’t have $92 in cash , he asked if I was willing to pay less . He went ahead and cancelled the booking himself I told him I only had less that $50 cash and he said this would only get me something around the Arusha area . He showed me a waterfall that he said would be equally nice and that I could also go to an art center . He said a driver would come pick me up in the morning . When I called him in the morning to find out how to pay he simply said Yes and didn’t offer a greeting as if I was bothering him . I went for this alternative tour , the waterfall tour didn’t even last an hour as it was just a small falls about 5 minutes from my hotel as well as the art center as I spent about 30minutes walking through the gallery . Be careful when booking with this provider as he did not care that I had travelled half away across the world for this experience.

Amazing
This tour was the best of our stay in Tanzania! The waterfalls and hotsprings were amazing, the coffee tour so interesting, and the lunch delicious. Edwin and Justin made the experience unforgettable. We learned so much thanks to them, and absolutely recommend that tour.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moshi is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moshi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, Kikuletwa Hot Springs & Maasai start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moshi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moshi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moshi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
