Hidden Gems: 4-Hr City Transformation Tour

I visited the Maboneng district, the Johannesburg's most "hipster, creative and colored" area, according to my amazing guide ! I saw a lots of beautiful street arts, and the HallMark building, which offers a 360° view of Johannesburg. Thank you to my guide Kaiser, the best in town !

This walking tour starts and ends in Maboneng and takes about 4 hours - but the time flies by. Kaiser was an excellent and fun guide who took us through the developing "hip" streets of Maboneng to the City Centre and on to New Town and Market Square. Saw interesting street art, enjoyed great views of the city, Nelson Mandela's old law office and were told about the city's history, apartheid and liberation. A great way to see the city.. Would.highly recommend this tour which also supports a youth employment program- Joburg tourist ambassadors. Learned a lot about the experiences and aspirations of young South Africans speaking.to them. Don't.miss it if you are in Johannesburg

Kaiser was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide! I learned so much, and I was able to see parts of the city that I didn't see on my previous visit.

For someone who grew up in Johannesburg and has lived overseas for many years, a walk through the inner city was the perfect way to see how things have changed. Arriving with warnings from locals ringing in my ears, i was anxious, but our guide, Ikoh, put us - me and two family members who live in Johannesburg- at ease from the start. A second guide followed behind. We felt safe at all times. Seeing Maboneng, learning how the rejuvenation of the area started and is continuing, was eye-opening. Venturing into the CBD, past the offices of Anglo American and the old Carlton Hotel, and seeing where Mandela and Thambo worked all added to the experience. I recommend this walking tour to locals, who will be surprised by what they see. Visitors from overseas will be fascinated by this walking tour.

I had a great walking tour of Johannesburg with Ikoh. He was exceptional. The tour started in the creative hub of town called Maboneng. The other guests and I learned about its unique character and from there walked through the hustle and bustle of the CBD. We had a short stop at a cafe and ended the tour at the west end of downtown next to the Mining District at Mandela’s former law firm. I learned so much from this tour: the history of the city, its challenges and how it has evolved to the present. The tour was informative, safe, and eye-opening. Go ahead and book this tour. You will love it and leave the tour with a deep appreciation of Johannesburg!

Very thorough guide throughout the golden triangle of the city, rich in information and culture this is a must do tour. -sam

It was amazing the experience of learning about Maboneng walking around the neighborhood. The arts are very beautiful. Kaizer is an excellent guide and the experience will be even better.

This tour was amazing! We got to see so much beautiful art, architecture and culture while feeling safe the whole time. The guide took us through the city explaining the history and showing us the hidden gems. Would absolutely recommend this tour if you want to see the city and learn a lot about its history, especially if you enjoy art!

Our walking tour through Johannesburg with Eco was fantastic! From start to finish, we felt completely safe and comfortable. Eco’s deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture made the tour both informative and engaging. His passion for the city and attention to detail truly enriched the experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Johannesburg – the perfect way to explore, learn, and connect with the heart of the city!
