A nice experience - It was a very nice experience. I got to know the emblematic places of the city, mainly those that refer to the racial segregation that existed in the city

Great downtown tour - We spent a lovely time with Sean, visiting the downtown of Joburg with some extra activities like eating some specialities and taking a local taxi. We were only two with our guide which made the tour even more special. Thank you Sean!

Mesmerizing Tour - I'm thrilled I joined this tour! Sean, our guide, is truly exceptional as both a guide and an individual. His professionalism, deep knowledge, and engaging style really set him apart. In under 2 hours, he beautifully shared SA and Joburg's history, infusing his narrative with humor. This tour is a must to grasp the heart of Joburg and SA's culture. I wholeheartedly recommend it – and it's free! Kudos to Sean for an unforgettable experience. Thanks a ton!

Maboneng and Jewel City, to Newtown - We did a fun, interesting walking tour of Fox street with Tye and his crew, who were professional, responsive, and full of of stories about the area. Maboneng and Jewel City are vibey areas with cafes, art and design and the street is charming and worth seeing how the area is being gentrified. Very impressive.

Great inner city tour - Franck is the best guide of Joburg's innertown you can get!
He told me all about the places and had the patience and knowledge to respond all my questions about the city and the history of South Africa.
I definitely recommend this experience if you want to get to know Johannesburg's CBD and have a fun time.
