Welcome to Joburg.
Or Jozi, as the locals call it.
I’ll bet you’re in for a pleasant surprise! Welcome to our vibrant, exhilarating, broken-but-beautiful city with its short, rich history, people of every colour and creed, plenty of trees and outdoor spaces, museums, galleries, shops and restaurants – and a buzzing night life, too.
So get ready to explore on foot or by car; take in the sights, sounds and smells – and let Africa sink into your soul.
Upcoming Tours
Our Popular Walks and Tours

Newtown walk
3hrs
This walking tour traces the history of Newtown, from brickmaking and markets to its influence in music and the arts - and now its street art and urban regeneration.Â

Braamfontein Walk
3hrs
Braamfontein is home to art galleries and museums, a beautiful church, public art and graffiti, the Nelson Mandela Bridge and numerous coffee shops. The Playground is open every Saturday, and Beacon Park will be opening very soon!

MABONENG GRAFFITI WALK
3hrs
Not as much culture as usual, but a great chance to witness some urban regeneration and to soak up the atmosphere created by the street vendors, restaurants, bars, public art and graffiti.

Constitution Hill Walk
3hrs
Constitution Hill is a national heritage site that encapsulates the oppression of South Africa's past together with our hopes for the future. Visit the Old Fort, the former men's and women's prisons, as well as the Constitutional Court building and chamber.

Soweto Tour
Full-day or Half-day
The Soweto tour is what we like to call Soweto On and Off the Beaten Track. You will visit the Orlando Cooling Towers and the well-known Vilakazi Street, but you will also catch a glimpse of some lesser known places (such as the Bara taxi rank and the Soweto Theatre) and get a taste of a day in the life of a Sowetan.

Marshalltown Walk
3 hrs
Discover Johannesburg's mining past, with a combination of history, trivia and public art - plus stops for coffee and a cocktail. Highlights include the pedestrianised mining walk, the Rand Club, Gandhi Square and Chancellor House.

A Walk in the Wilds
2 hours - free of charge, gratuity basis
The Wilds was established in 1938 as a national botanical garden. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers in recent years, it's a safe haven again, and the 8kms of stone pathways make it easy to navigate this glorious 40-acre site.

Troyeville Walk
3 hrs
Troyeville was once the home of artists, architects and activists, and it's a suburb with a rich history dating back to 1889. Nowadays it's inhabited by residents from a wide variety of African countries, each bringing with them a distinctive flavour.Â

HALF-DAY & FULL-DAY TOURS
4 hrs or 8 hrs
In a vehicle, we can cover more ground than on a walking tour, so you might like to travel anywhere from Sandton to Soweto and fit in lots of history, culture, street art, food and shopping as you go. See our Rates page for prices, and let us know if you have a general or a specific theme in mind.
