Fantastic tour - We had a brilliant time on our tour and seen a lot of sights in a short period of time. Our guide, Shane, was very knowledgeable and took us to the sights at the right times to avoid any queues. Shane took photos of us at the various sights so we didn’t have to at the time and gave us a great restaurant recommendation. As first time visitors to Johannesburg, we greatly appreciated Shane’s knowledge of the area and felt very safe on the trip. We learned so much about South African history and would highly recommend this tour!

The combination of a relaxed Mood, interesting information and beautiful views made this an unforgettable place to stay - Our tour with Shane was truly a fantastic experience! From the first moment everyone felt welcome and at ease. Shane is not only incredibly friendly and welcoming, but also a real connoisseur of the area. He told with great enthusiasm and humour about the history, culture and special stories that you hear nowhere else. What made this tour extra special was that Shane was perfectly suited to our interests. He took the time to answer questions and made sure we got to the most beautiful places – some even real hidden gems we never found ourselves.

City tour - We took a tour of Johannesburg with Shane. Shane picked us up at 2 different hotels and we headed out. We hit the highlights recommended by Shane as we were open to anything. Saw the Mandela house, Constitution Hill, and the Apartheid Museum. Shane was a great guide and we enjoyed learning what he had to share. Highly recommend.

Great private tour - I was referred by a friend who had a tour with Shane just a few days prior. Communication was great from beginning to end. The tour ended up being private tour and was a wonderful last minute addition to my trip Shane is full of knowledge and has a great love for Johannesburg and South Africa. I definitely would have missed out on a lot of history if he hadn't shown me around. The tour schedule helped us avoid the crowds and the lines at each site. The staff at all of the tour sites know him and are friendly with him. Shane took photos at various locations so I didn't have to and even messaged me some tips for places to eat and see for later on during my trip.

Private tour - only way to tour! - Fabulous private 1/2 day tour. We had some extra time as we were over holding a day in Johannesburg Tambo airport prior to departing on our 10 day safari. We wanted to learn more about the city and the history of Africa however were apprehensive to go on just any tour due to safety concerns and did not want a large group tour. After spending 6 hours with Shane I can unequivocally recommend his service. I was v impressed with his knowledge and depth of African history and local etiquette. His driving was good. Vehicle clean (no odours) and he was very attentive to our questions. He showed up on time at the airport hotel and at no time did I feel uneasy. He knew his way around and got us in to the various venues with ease (no line ups). After the tour I felt I had learned alot and it was great value.

Nice experience - Interesting half-day tour with Shane through the Soweto neighborhood and the Mandela house. The visit to the Apartheid Museum was interesting and overwhelming. The visit to the Constitutional Court was very interesting. Shane gave us a lot of background information about South Africa and its history, without going into too much detail. We really enjoyed it.
