Irma'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.

The 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.

They 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.
Exceptional service and knowledge. Best ever.

Irma knows everything so deeply and she makes sure you miss nothing at all. She planned everything so well for us. And you can tell when someone is as invested in you having a good time, which Irma completely was. I would recommend using their service instead of planning on your own because they really are extremely insightful.
Highly recommended!!!!

We did this tour a few days ago and the truth was great. The Irma Guide is very professional and very prepared in terms of historical reviews and data. He took us through various years and history of this city and its most representative places. I recommend doing the circuit to all tourists who opt for a guide in Spanish. The city despite having some bad reputation for nothing is dangerous and has interesting places to visit...
The best decision and the best way to get to know Johannesburg.

The best decision. We loved meeting Johannesburg with Irma. It is certainly the best way to explore the city and see its contrasts. It is worth dedicating a day to get to know JB, and I would definitely recommend doing it with this private tour. The price is high but I would definitely repeat. Irma knows a lot and tells everything with passion. Highly recommended.
Fantastic
