Trustworthy, knowledgable, flexible
"Lunga is a very reliable, flexible and nice guide who’s able to adjust on his feet to your wishes/interests. We had a very nice tour around mostly Maboneng, but also expanded to Mining District etc. He also integrated real local food experience into the tour spontaneously. Highly recommended. "
"Our family joined Lulu for a tour of Johannesburg’s city center three days ago, and she instantly made us feel welcome and excited to explore. Her storytelling, warmth, and deep knowledge of the city brought every stop to life in a way that captivated both our kids and us. Lulu turned a simple city tour into a memorable moment of connection, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly."
