Experience Off the Beaten Track in 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!"

"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. "

"We had one day to explore Joberg and Lunga helped us make the most of it! We covered a lot of information in a short time- history, current events, art and more. Very easy to be with/talk with, Lunga knows the area and people well which made us feel very safe. Joberg is rebuilding itself again and supporting this process felt good too. Thank you!"

"Lunga was full of enthusiasm and energy. Loves his town and its people. Very informative. "

"I had hoped the tour would be more than someone pointing out things and stating facts. Yes, this tour exceeded my expectations. Walking the streets with Lufano, I truly felt like a local. In addition to knowing so much about the history, she seems to know so many people and, tagging along with her, I felt integrated into the community. She took us places that we would never have found or gone on our own, for example a fabulous barbecue area. It's also nice to be with a local because I felt less like I was gawking at people. By the end of our tour I felt like she was a friend."
