Experience the best of Johannesburg with Withlocals

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone in the tourism industry go above and beyond like Lufuno did for us. She wowed us! We arrived late into Johannesburg for just one evening, later than Soweto tours. Lufuno knew we really wanted to visit there so after a visit in the city for my new favorite food, Chicken Dust, we headed out. Way beyond what we expected. She is so sweet, full of information and very easy to talk to. We ended up sitting at her small, but delicious, restaurant in Soweto much later than expected. Lufuno made this one of our favorite memories while on vacation!"

"A true local! Lulu is warm, engaging and managed to share her love & insights for her culture with us in fascinating Maboneng. No questions were off limits and we very much appreciated her candor. Next time it will be the Soweto Tour!"

"I made a very last minute booking with Lufuno after having an unexpected bonus day in Johannesburg with my family just before our return to NYC. We booked a food walking tour and got SO MUCH more than we could have imagined. Lulu is an immediately charming and gregarious person and she exudes warmth and humor. She took us to several places to eat delicious local items, including several places we would not encounter in any guide book. We ate until we could no longer take another bite! Aside from the various food treats, she gave us unique perspectives of local culture with honestly and authenticity. And above all, she was absolutely terrific with my kids (ages 9 and 5) and they won’t forget the experience including all the incredible food. Thank you, Lulu, for making our last day in South Africa gorgeous and memorable! "

"We had a great time with Lunga. He showed us lots of interesting places and we got to interact with locals in a way that we could not have done if we’d been on our own. He made us feel safe and informed us about the history of Jo’burg. Id definitely recommend that you take a tour with him. "

"Lufuno was amazing! She was incredibly patient with my parents and friend, who don’t speak English, and made sure they felt comfortable throughout the tour. She adapted everything to suit our needs, and thanks to her, we had the best experience. Highly recommend the tour with her. "

"This tour was the highlight of our trip to Johannesburg! Lufuno is warm, knowledgeable, and makes you feel instantly safe and welcome. She tailored the walk to our interests, showing both famous sights and hidden gems we would never have found on our own. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a good friend. A special happy ending surprised us…Highly recommended!"
