5.00Irma is a very professional native Spanish speaking guide. It has a lot of information about the history of South Africa since its inception, as well as current issues. It is a guide that takes great care of passenger safety, good driver and super punctual. We got to know all the faces of Johannesburg and Pretoria in a very cultured and relaxed way. Pleasure and congratulations on your work, Irma.

5.00Irma's explanations have you focused and interested in the whole tour. I can't imagine any better way to know the city. He is a very expert person who has lived there for 20 years but knows perfectly well the needs of the tourist. Highly recommended the visit to the Apartheid Museum, as well as the history of the city, the country and the very respectful and enjoyable vision that makes Irma of it. Also, the distances in Johannesburg make it difficult to do it for free, so by vehicle and with Irma you have everything!
Exceptional!! A 10 for this agency.

5.00The visit to Johannesburg with our Chilean guide Daniela has been exceptional. It has made the tour very enjoyable and has fully immersed us in the apartheid era and what Nelson Mandela has meant for this country, with great dynamism and transmitting a lot of interesting information about this period. How lucky we have been with this friendly and professional guide!!
Perfect.

5.00They adapted their excursions to my available time in Johannesburg. Great professionalism and efficiency. They provide security for their good work, timeliness and willingness to resolve any doubts or problems, a very important issue in that city. Irma, who accompanied them on tours, was attentive, close, effective and efficient, unbeatable! I will not hesitate to recommend Lanzate Tours to family and friends.
