See the normal people

Great way to see street art and every day people doing their art. Lots of walking. Met a couple artists, would like to have met more. Did not see any other "Tourists" on the neighborhood walk. Street food lunch was delicious. On time and informative.

So good I’d do it again - art walk

I am a solo traveler and booked a guided art tour in Johannesburg with Honest Travel. My guide was Nkosi and he was by far the best guide I have ever had. He was easy to be with and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the art scene. We spent 3 hours walking and experiencing the vibrant wall art and its meanings as well as galleries. I would highly recommend this company and this guide. The company responded quickly to my inquiries and were incredibly professional. I can’t wait to see more of Johannesburg with them.

Great art, great tour!

There are so many talented artists both trained and untrained in South Africa! I especially loved the art gallery in the Ellis park arena. We learned about each artist and the emotions they wanted to show in their art work. In Victoria Yards, we also visited a distillery with the most tasteful gin you can find, using oranges only grown and found in this specific part of South Africa.

This tour is a gem…

This tour takes you to hidden gems of Joburg. Learn about Joburg life and art with BK. BK grew up and lives in the area. This makes the tour deeper and more personal. The gallery you get taken to has the most amazing artwork by amazing local artists.

Great art walk

My guide’s knowledge of the area and people was wonderful. It was a great walk into off-the-beaten-path areas and some very impressive art.

Missed much anticipated tour

Booked via Viator. Meeting place as on ticket did not exist. Tried to find and catch up with your that started without me but local tour guide and I could not find each other. Transpired he was not aware of me or that I had a ticket to join the tour. So sadly missed the tour .

Operator response

Hi Debra, Hope you're well. I'm sorry to hear this... Like I said to you over the phone we did not receive any booking from the platform so we did not know you were coming I went out of my way myself to try to locate you and you decided unfortunaly leave... I'm about this experience
