Excellent tour! - We visited local galleries, met artisans and saw how abandoned buildings have been reimagined into cultural hubs. Maboneng is more than a trendy neighborhood — it’s a symbol of how art and entrepreneurship can revive a city. Highly recommended if you want a deeper, more personal perspective on Johannesburg. I loved it.

Street Art and Culture Top Notch! 10 Stars! - The Arts and Culture tour far exceeded my expectations and was a highlight of my 8 day trip to SA! Refiloe is a naturally engaging and supremely knowledgeable guide well equipped to make this an enjoyable learning experience about the the themes, and layered contexts of beautiful and poweful authentic street art (both commissioned and graffiti) with specific artist highlights. He was personable, kind, clearly answered my questions and delivered with a refreshing sense of humor! The tour was scheduled for 2 hours but it lasted for nearly 3, and he made time for photo taking... I am an older energetic white woman who felt completely safe during and after the tour in a vibrant area which I was discouraged to visit by my group tour director! Our last stop at a local coffee shop was delightful followed by a walk to a nearby shop recommended by Rafiloe! I will always treasure this unique experience and encourage other travellers to include this walking tour in your plans! Thank you to Evelyn for communicating with me before the tour and accompanying us during the tour. A must do if you wish to learn more about Josie through the lenses of gifted artists in their community.

More of an immersion than a tour - First of all I would like to thank my guide Molalu on being so attentive to my questions as well as knowing the history of Maboneng so extensively. I loved the tour , two hours flew by so quickly and even interacting with the local artists was such a nice touch as well as seeing some hidden gems in Maboneng . I’m definitely going back there on my next trip to Johannesburg 😌

A nice walking tour - Learn something about the history and culture of the local people living in that section of Johannesburg. I appreciate the guidance of Milalo Mphuma who had provided much information about the city.

Joburg highlight - I had a 121 tour with Refiloe and it was the highlight of my Joburg trip. He was so knowledgeable and passionate, we had a really fun couple of hours and I felt really at home in Maboneng afterwards.

Poor service. - Waited for 30 minutes. I had no network so eventually asked for a hotspot with receptionist to see how to contact this outfit. I see they tried communicating with me to say they would be there an hour later, so 1.5 hrs late in total. I had got there in an Uber and just returned back in an Uber. So all in all, I didn’t have a tour I paid for (they will refund that) and spent R170 going there and back! If you can’t do the trips you’re advertising, don’t advertise those times.
