A very amazing experience. Our tour guide Sydney made it a distinguishable trip to us. He was very informative and passionate about the culture and the history of SA. Highly recommended.

I was a little worried that this would just be a taxi guide, but this wasn’t the case at all. I was so impressed with our guide Nkululeko (& his articulate English) and the way he shared the history made this experience incredible. This is a must do tour to take in the essence of Johannesburg and the core culture.

Max fue muy amable, nos explicó y contestó a todo lo que le preguntamos, pero me molestó tener que pagar la entrada en cada sitio y además a cada guía que nos hacía la explicación, al señor del parking, y que todos nos pidieran dinero por todas partes.
