A great intro to local artists - This is a really good tour! Petros and Shabaka were very accommodating and nice. The tour included 5 art sites (Gallery Delta, Dendera Gallery, Veranda Gallery, Shona Sculpture Gallery, and the National Handicraft Centre) plus a good local restaurant for lunch (meals not included in tour). They even brought us to an extra site, the Harare view point, since we haven’t seen much of Harare yet. Most galleries are closed for the holidays but they called each gallery ahead and made sure they’d be open for us. It was a great introduction to Zimbabwean artists. The Shona sculptures were the highlight for me and my husband, we even met one of the artists! Make sure to bring cash since credit cards are not always accepted. Looking forward to taking more of my family on tour with them! This tour is a gem!
