Hystory of Newtown/History of Newtown - It was a great excursion. The guide Romeo tells a very interesting story. He revealed to me the amazing history of Newtown. I was a little worried about safety, but Romeo showed Newtown from a different side. Newtown is a very beautiful and unique place. Romeo told not only the history of Newtown, but the whole country, he also talked about many unique historical buildings! Thank you very much for the tour. It was a great excursion.

Interesting tour in the Johannesburg city centre - We had a chance to get to know two amazing local guides - Sean and Angela. Sean told us about history of the city, importance of art for the locals and showed us many hidden gems. Thank you guys!

Awesome Walking Tour in Downtown Joburg - After multiple stories of how dangerous and inaccessible Johannesburg is for tourists and staying in Sandton where I felt safe (and in a great guesthouse) but the vibe felt very much MEH, Thai (spelling?) was a terrific tour guide who made the city come alive through his fact telling, personality, and sense of humor. I learned a tremendous amount of history and social context that really helped me understand the city I was visiting better. I appreciated learning the cultural and historical nuances of life in Newtown before and after the World Cup and the story behind the train graveyard located under the Nelson Mandela Bridge. The market he dropped us off at the end of the tour was also super cool and his recommendations for Maboneng were spot on. Highly recommend!

See Newtown with Sean - Sean my guide was amazing. I am so grateful that he proceeded with the walking tour even though there was just me today. He is very friendly, informative (also answers all my silly questions), and always kept me feeling safe. Would recommend this tour, especially if you have Sean as your guide.

Amazing tour to discover Johannesburg! - Very interesting tour, a must do if you want to grasp slightly the complexity and width of the South African society. Honest travel experience adapted to our needs, with an early start and a combination of CBD, apartheid museum and Soweto in around 6hours. Highly recommend them!
