    The three food stops were fabulous. Good variety of cultures represented. The tour of Maboneng, although interesting, focused more on the art culture and less on the food influence. We didn’t eat our first food until 45 minutes into the tour and really thought we were on the wrong tour. Guide was knowledgeable.

    We thought this would be a food tour so I am writing this review to clarify others expectations. I think that a food tour should be all about food, including learning about the ingredients or food culture. This was not what we experienced, if a walking art tour with food stops is your jam, you might love this. Part 1. Stopping at various shops to encourage you to buy from local artists Part 2. Walking around Maboneng to see the many beautiful murals. Part 3. Stopping at “hole in the wall” restaurants to eat where locals eat. Excellent food. We stopped at three restaurants: Nigerian, Ethiopian, and Egyptian (but ate Zulu food). Nkosi, our guide, is Zulu. We enjoyed learning about that culture and my daughter loved the language lesson as he taught her how to say word with the “clicks”. I was disappointed that when I asked about food, ingredients or recipes, I was told to google. I think this was a great experience but should be described differently on trip advisor.

    There is a lot of poverty in South Africa. This group of gentlemen have worked to start this business and have a great story. They take you through a neighborhood that is being revitalized. There were four different cuisines. The food was okay. The restaurants were a little shady looking. Very much hole in the wall joints. It was interesting to learn the history of the neighborhood.

    An awesome experience; it was two tours in one! Not only do you get to taste different cuisines, you get to walk through and learn about the wonderful Marboneng neighborhood.
