We were toured around by Bones. He was impressive in his knowledge of Johannesburg and had a passion for his city. The main thrust of his tour is that with good precaution Johannesburg is a safe and vibrant city to be enjoyed. Do this tour if only to put to bed some of your preconceptions of what is a diverse and culturally rich city.

An informative walking tour beginning in Maboneng district. This 4 hour tour showed how the city is being revitalised and brought back to life. Our guide "King" Sephiwe was fantastic. He was energized and witty and obviously loved his city. Would definitely recommend this tour.

An excellent days outing getting to explore and experience the inner city of Johannesburg, on foot and making use of local transport.
We met our group at the vibey and impressive Curiocity backpackers lodge in Maboneng.
Our guide, Simphiwe, handled the large group with charm. He introduced us to the exciting, inspiring sides of the city of our birth. We were impressed with the efforts in regeneration and the energy of the visionaries behind the turnaround. Jozi is indeed a remarkable place of history, art, humanity, beauty and dire poverty.
I would recommend this outing to anyone spending time in Jozi, whether living here or just visiting, you owe it to yourselves to experience it all.
Thanks King Phiwe, you were great!

Johannesburg has a reputation for lawlessness and doubtless most tourists to SA never consider walking the streets of the CBD. Main Street Walks offers a fun and engaging tour of a city in gradual transition. We walked from the new developer driven gentrified Maboneng to the grand old Anglo American offices at the other end of the city. Simpiwe is a terrific guide, full of interesting anecdotes and a very positive philosophy on the grittiness of life in his home town. Sadly we couldn't get the view from the Carlton Tower as the power was out!! Highly recommended - never once did I feel unsafe.

We also did the Inner City Walking Tour on 7/21 and thought it was a great way to get to know parts of the city in a short amount of time. So interesting to learn about the development of Maboneng, and learn a few greeting phrases when going to the healer's market. Our guide was obviously well read and intent on connecting with the participants.
