Lunga Rocks!

Had a wonderful experience walking JoBurg with Lunga. He was knowledgeable, kind, flexible and personable. Would highly recommend him as your walking guide!

About local Gilbert
21 May 2025
Great tour, too much food

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking food tour with Gilbert. He gave us lots of background information about the city as well as the food. The quantity of food was enough for five full meals. Gilbert gave many containers of leftovers to homeless folks on the streets. The variety of dishes was wonderful. Go with an empty stomach!
