A must do in Joburg! - A must do when visiting Joburg! From booking online, to being given the arrival time of the tour guide to being dropped back off at the hotel, the experience and customer service was great. To visit a country and hear about their culture and history has been fantastic. As a first time solo traveller i felt safe and welcome straight away. my tour guide was Pedney, and he was a wonderful man, greeted me with a smile on his face and told me interesting facts about South Africa. The whole experience was great, to learning about the different tribes, clothes, language and even dancing and drumming. All finished off with a delicious buffet. Pedney was amazing and I couldn't fault the service he provided at all.

Cultural Village Tour with wonderful Guide - Thoroughly recommend this experience! We were collected by Zinto who at once made us welcome to Johannesburg and on our drive to the village he pointed out places of interest. The Lesida Cultural Village itself was fabulous, we were treated to singing and dancing and a well organised tour of the tribal villages! It was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed the incredible lunch provided and everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Enjoyed Zinto’s company at lunch and learnt some more about your beautiful country.

Awesome Tour! - The tour was amazing! Not only was the cultural experience of Lesedi unforgetable, but also Tinyiko was an incredible driver and guide! He even went so far as to teach us songs and facts about the city as we drove to and from our destinations! Additionally, we were able to safely leave items on the bus while at our destinations. Would definitely recommend!

An Unforgettable Experience at Lesedi Cultural Village - Our visit to Lesedi Cultural Village was truly an unforgettable experience, made even more special by our excellent driver Carson. The hotel pickup was punctual, and we were warmly welcomed. The scenic drive to the village offered breathtaking views and was a relaxing way to start the tour. Upon arrival at Lesedi, we were immersed in a vibrant and educational cultural experience. The tour was both informative and highly interactive, offering a unique insight into the diverse cultures and traditions of South Africa’s people. From traditional dances to the detailed explanations of the different tribal homesteads, every part of the tour was thoughtfully presented. Our driver was not only professional and friendly but also very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable throughout the journey and provided interesting commentary along the way. His helpful and courteous nature added greatly to the overall experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore South Africa’s rich cultural heritage in an engaging and respectful way. A big thank you to the team for making our visit so memorable!

Lesedi Village A Must - We really did not know what to expect on this tour given a temperature of 16 degrees, but apparently these performers did not seem to know it was cold, they gave their all with an exceptional program that combined history with culture and a whole lot of energy to tell the story on the making of South Africa. Really time well spent. Our driver and guide Padhey did a great job getting us there and keeping us informed throughout.
