Great tour even for solo travellers - I had a great time on tour, my guide was Refiloe, he was very kind insightful and managed to make the tour interactive and fun. I was the only one in the group and did not feel awkward at all. It has a great end on Fox Street where you can have a nice coffee, do some local shopping and eating.

Vibrant and Soulful - We loved it. Refiloe put our mind at ease. We felt safe. The neighborhood was vibrant. He was very informative. He was friendly and fun to engage with. He showed us some amazing pieces of art work and explained the story behind each piece. This excursion allowed us to feel the soul of the city. It is definitely worth the trip. I would highly recommend.

Great tour. Highly recommend!! - We had a wonderful artistic stroll through Maboneng with Refiloe. He was a friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable tour guide. Not only about the art, but the neighbourhood and Joburg itself. We could have walked around all day chatting about art and culture with Refiloe!! Great tour. Highly recommend!!

Amazing guide, fun, informative, interesting, cool. - The young man who was our guide was AMAZING!! He was so smart, informative and charming. He pointed out so many interesting things about the murals and artists as well as S. African history. He stayed with us and helped us negotiate with the shop owners when we bought souvenirs. And he stayed with us until our Uber came. I would love to have a son as conscientious and thoughtful as he was. He was a gem and I wish him nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors. He can come and visit us in the U.S. anytime.

Great tour in a vibrant neighbourhood - Very nice tour with an enthusiastic guide in a vibrant neighbourhood full of original street art, mostly 'official' work. The guide made us feel very safe knowing all people around.

Fascinating Insights on some INCREDIBLE Art! - A 3-hour walk through the Maboneng district. It abounds with edgy, artsy charm, and our guides' insights into the hundreds of fantastic city murals, are as eye-opening as they are informative. Such a big history of Art living alongside Activism. You would never find all these by yourself, so go with Refiloe from One Day Africa! He's a true Ray of Light!

Dont book by Viator. We... - Dont book by Viator. We where there and waited for the guide, but nobody came. Taxi through Johannesburg, and waiting 45 min. for nothing. And then maybe I get the money for the booking back. Poor. Never more Viator
