Highly Recommend the Maboneng Street Art Tour! - First of all, Mulalo was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Maboneng and the various artist represented in the area. I heard about this area from someone at the airport. I'm glad I decided to take the tour. It's a must if you visit Johannesburg! There are also great shops, cafes and restaurants in the area to enjoy as well.

Surprising - Incredible experience through the streets of Mapodeng. The tour not only introduces you to Johannesburg's vibrant street art, but is also a lesson in recent African history. The guide Malulo was very attentive and presented the works on the buildings and walls in detail, explaining the context in which they were made and the message they intended to convey. Very good, I would definitely do it again.

Great tour - got lots of pics - Our guide Refiloe showed us around about 8 streets over 2 hours and we visited a couple of places indoors too. For me it helped me feel safe in this area of the city and after the tour ended I got lunch at pata pata (South African grub) and walked around taking more photos and seeing a bit more of Maboneng district. I've done quite a few Street art tours in other cities and this one helped me appreciate the local history and the context of the murals and Street art here. Was a great 2 hours and well worth it.
