The best customer service ever - Best custumer service ever: they allowed me to book even after due time and did everything to accomodate out needs. And the best guide in Town, too: he knew every detail about the tour and the graffitis are really good!

A Rich Insight Into Josies Creative Heart - I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, was knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about the stories behind the art and the people who shaped Maboneng. Even though I don’t usually follow art, I found myself really engaged and learning a lot. My favourite piece was the large mural of a woman carrying her child, representing the movement of people and culture into new environments. The way our guide explained the symbolism of migration, resilience, and identity made the piece feel alive and meaningful instead of just something to look at. Halfway through the tour I started to feel a bit unwell, but our guide remained encouraging and patient throughout which I really appreciated. The only thing I would suggest is having a small rest or coffee break midway through, and perhaps ending back at the same starting point for ease of navigation. But overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great way to see a different, creative side of Jo-hustle-berg/Josie.

Mulalo was a fantastic... - Mulalo was a fantastic tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Maboneng, a vibrant area of Joburg that most tourists never see. I recipe it for anyone visiting the city and wanting a more deep cultural experience.

Art for the Culture - The art walk was a delightful venture where I experienced the culture of arts created by artists who wanted to communicate a message about all the people of the District and country . Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the fact he is a photographer enhanced his love for the art he was showcasing. So glad I picked this tour as one of my adventures while in Johannesburg. If you love artistic expressions, you will enjoy this tour.

Excellent Guide! Very educational tour! - This is a a must-do tour for anyone visiting Jo-burg! Our guide was Refilwe, who was on-time, likable, and extremely well-informed about Jo-burg street art, culture and history. We were with Refilwe a little over two hours and saw at least 35-40 street art installations. We had plenty of time for taking photos, asking questions, etc. We learned a lot about South African history and culture as we viewed the various installations. We were fortunate to actually meet one of the top street artist, who was in the middle of finishing a piece when we happened by. Throughout the tour, we felt safe, informed, and comfortable. Refilwe dropped us at a coffee shop at the end of the tour so that we could meet up with an Uber that took us back to our hotel. This was one of the best local tours that we have taken in a long time! Very educational and a good value!

Tour of art and history - Our guide, Refiloe, was great. He set a pace that suited us. We were lucky to be only people on the tour so we had opportunity to ask questions and get a good understanding of the art pieces. Refiloe was full of knowledge about the history of the area which added to our understanding and appreciation of the art. The area still has safety issues and I recommend doing a tour to get the best from the precinct.
