“Our guide, Tebogo was excellent!!! It was a very informative and interesting tour. This was our first trip to Johannesburg and we didn’t want to miss seeing and learning about some of the city areas, but knew that a local guide would be best. Tebogo walked us through Newtown, past Workers Museum & Chancellor House, down Main St, and then to Gandhi Square where he got us an uber to Jewel City and Maboneng Precinct, which were lively even for a Sunday. The music, arts & crafts, and people were awesome, and then we ended with a yummy braai meal at a local place (the chakalaka was delicious). Definitely recommend…”
