Excellent guide - punctual, informative and willing to answer questions. Really interesting - not much to see, as such, but lots of interesting info if you're interesting in the politics and history of the place.

Our guide Tembo was excellent. He was very informative and friendly. I would have loved to have spent a little more time on the tour. The time seemd a little rushed. However, it was a great insight into JoBurg. I will highly recommend to family and friends.

Had a very personalised tour of Jo'Burg given there were only 2 of us on the tour. It was a good way to get to see the city of Jo'Burg and to learn the local history. Our tour guide was very friendly and informative.

The guide was good and informative and made the tour an excellent experience. However, do not think that Hillbrow is now crime free!

Nice tour and you see a lot of the city.

Great way to see a large portion of the city and its diverse culture in a short period of time. You also get to visit downtown areas that you would perhaps not otherwise have the opportunity to experience! A bit of waiting around as the mini bus drives round to collect people from all the different hotels, but otherwise a really good trip.

3 star rating: Worth doing

Absolutely no reflection on our pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide, but there just isn't a lot to see in the Johannesburg, CBD. We greatly appreciated the drive through Houghton to get a sense of how the "other half" lives, to pass by Mr. Mandela's residence, as well as the historical perspective Andrew shared on the mining industry and other aspects of South African history.

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

Reviewed by Claudia K, October 2012

I had expected a little more out of this trip. I was mainly driving through the city and not much sightseeing. Mandela Square was not included at all.

2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

Reviewed by Martin A, Singapore, June 2010

Although the tour guide was okay in general, just average but nothing extraordinary, I did not like the fact that he was almost forcing me to give him a tip, something I only do when the service was really extraordinary. I appreciate that the tour operator made my pick up in a hotel far from downtown Jojannesburg, making an honourable exception.
