I loved walking around the streets and seeing different areas and local street art. The food tasting was great too. The guide knew the history very well. It would have been nice to be with other people and not just the guide. I don't recommend for singles. It was 2 hours, not 3. I'm glad I came.

The tour was great! We explored the city and tasted food from various African countries — everything was incredibly delicious. Our guide, Lebo, had great energy and was always smiling, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend it!

Food tour was amazing. Our guide Lebo was gracious, funny, and informative. We had a fantastic evening shared with him and all the amazing African food tastings. So much food and all delicious. Seeing the street art was an unexpected bonus. If you feel hesitant about walking the streets choose the day tour which I’m sure would feel safer. We never felt unsafe on our night tour but could imagine other people may.

Hi Sarah, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear you had a fantastic evening with Lebo — he truly brings a special energy to the tour with his knowledge and great sense of humor. It’s great that you enjoyed the variety of African food (and yes, there’s always a lot!) and that the street art was a pleasant surprise.
