Food Tours in Johannesburg

My daughter and I had a truly wonderful experience with Lufuno. She picked us up at our hotel and we explored many sites and sounds of Johannesburg. We were treated to a couple of places that required a special tour that not many people in Johannesburg get to see. We got to try some unique food in wonderful, vibrant environments. Lufuno has brilliant energy and is very knowledgeable on everything Johannesburg. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer and she obviously loves her city very much. I couldn’t have requested a better guide!

Our party was a couple from the UK for various reasons we had an air of trepidation before meeting Lufuno however at ‘hello’ she made us feel very welcome & safe that was further endorsed when at the first stop we were served with the greatest cup of coffee we’d had the pleasure to experience! Lulu’s passion, experience & engagement is very infectious, there’s a wealth of knowledge in her replies which we agreed were very honest, nothing is left on the table which is very refreshing. The tasting sessions were excellent, we tried food that previously was not on our radar & the venues just added to the experience. Lulu even immersed us into the rituals of getting married in South Africa & we loved entering into the spirit of things! A fantastic day, we met as strangers & left as friends, her knowledge, passion & empathy is amazing and she crated one of the highlights of our holiday Thank you Lulu keep being amazing

We had a wonderful time tasting the food and learning the history of Johannesburg during our time with Lufuno. Her energy and happiness were welcome and her knowledge about the foods and their cultural significance was enlightening. She is a fantastic resource for all things around Johannesburg as she offered other recommendations on how to spend our time in the city.

We had an amazing day. The Johannesburg we read about as being dangerous, a place to leave as soon as possible changed into one of the most welcoming cities we’ve been to. With beautiful sites, wonderful people and amazing food. Lufuno picked us up at the apartheid museum. We went to experience a braai, get to play dress up, see the nice art in Mamboneng. After this we cycled through Soweto and experienced the wonderful tradition of washing your car (even if you don’t have one). Lufuno was very delightful, fun and full of the right energy.
