Great downtown tour

We spent a lovely time with Sean, visiting the downtown of Joburg with some extra activities like eating some specialities and taking a local taxi. We were only two with our guide which made the tour even more special. Thank you Sean!

Mesmerizing Tour

Published on Aug, 2023

I'm thrilled I joined this tour! Sean, our guide, is truly exceptional as both a guide and an individual. His professionalism, deep knowledge, and engaging style really set him apart. In under 2 hours, he beautifully shared SA and Joburg's history, infusing his narrative with humor. This tour is a must to grasp the heart of Joburg and SA's culture. I wholeheartedly recommend it – and it's free! Kudos to Sean for an unforgettable experience. Thanks a ton!
