A great first look at Johannesburg - highly recommended! - We were in Johannesburg with another couple and scheduled the half-day tour on our first full day here. Our guide, Cepo, picked us up at our hotel and curated our experience exactly as we wanted! He gave us a couple of different options for the tour, and we chose the option of seeing both the good and the more challenging aspects of Johannesburg. Cepo was so knowledgable about the history of the area and South Africa. Very entertaining and interesting. The highlight was our visit to the Apartheid Museum - highly recommended and so informative! Thanks Cepo for a wonderful and educational tour.

An excellent insight into an often misunderstood city - This tour was excellent. I was taken around the Jo’burg CBD by Mdu Ncube who is a really nice guy and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with. Really knowledgable and clearly very passionate about the city and SA. This candid, honest approach was something I really appreciated. Joburg and SA is very complex and Mdu explained things very well and very candidly which was also appreciated. I would consider this an essential experience for anyone visiting the city so as to get a better understanding of it and it’s often misunderstood nature.

A good all round tour of JNB. - A laid back historical tour of JNB. A good overview of the city with a very interesting guided tour of Constitution Hill and Fort where Nelson Mandela and Ghandi were incarcerated.

Need to show good with the bad - This tour highlighted many bad parts of the city (CBD), and it ended with us wondering if there was anything good about Joburg. Then the next day we had a much better tour that included the newer, modern parts of the city; that gave us a much better impression.

Tour was just ok - The tour was ok. Didn’t learn much about the city. Enjoyed the tour of constitution hill (given by the on-site tour guide). The other stops were moderately interesting - outdoor mining museum and the Standard Bank mining exhibit. I was glad to stop at the traditional medicine market; that’s something I wouldn’t have known to do in my own. Otherwise, we could have seen and learned more on a hop-on, hop-off tour. We wrapped up an hour early.
