Given the city's reputation, this is a perfect opportunity to experience Johannesburg on a walking tour and explore its hidden gems and rich history with a local guide.
The tour begins in Gandhi Square, uncovering the city's gold mining history through Main Street, showcasing stunning architecture and current politics.
We continue to Ferreirasdorp, the "cradle of Johannesburg," where the first gold diggers settled. Then, we visit Chancellor House, where Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo established their first black-owned law firm.
Our walk continues to Newtown, visiting the Workers Museum for insights into the city's migrant labor history, then the Market Theatre with its rich cultural and street art history.
We cross the iconic Nelson Mandela Bridge for stunning views and a perfect photo opportunity, connecting us to Braamfontein, an artistic hub known for its youthful energy. We'll conclude our tour in Braamfontein.

Mulalo was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Joburg. He took us to a fun place for an authentic lunch. Highly recommend him and this tour.

This was such an informative and well thought out tour. Our guide Mulalo was impressively knowledgeable about the history of the city and South Africa as a whole. He was very professional and made us feel very safe and comfortable the entire time. Would highly recommend for anyone who is interested in a unique and immersive learning experience.

Joburg is a fascinating city with different sides to it. Starting from Gandhi Square and ending around Constitution Hill gave an insight into the history and life that is very different to the area I was staying in.
Our guide Refilwe stepped in last minute to cover this tour and he was quite good and well informed and passionate about the city. It was his first time doing this tour I think and he did well!
He was accommodating to our needs and what we wanted to see.
Just to let others know - I would not recommend bringing and flashing your camera around on this tour. Being with a guide did give us that feeling of being safe and wouldn't be going there alone.

Mulalo was a great guide and brought me to visit many important areas to get a better gist of what local life in the city is like. He explained much of the history behind the buildings and parks, giving me a much better understanding. The tour started and ended on time.
The itinerary on the website needs to be updated to reflect that the Top of Africa was not accessible. This accounts for the 4/5 rating.

If you are ever in Johannesburg for a couple of days, I encourage you to book this city walk of the downtown area- a great experience for a morning or afternoon….

My guide Clement made this walking tour so relaxing that it was just like strolling around chatting with a friend. We went past many sites rich in culture and history - Mary Fitzgerald Square, the Workers Museum, Chancellor House, Main Street with its outdoor mining equipment, Gandhi Square, the Carlton Centre and Maboneng street art centre to name a few. Clement gave me so much interesting background to these sites, and we talked a lot about their ongoing significance and many other topics that came up. He was really flexible and generous too - due to my error and difficulties communicating, we started late but he was kind and patient in dealing with it, and I never felt like that was a burden to him. Central Johannesburg is really worth walking around slowly to appreciate and understand, and doing it with this walking tour is definitely 100% recommended.

We did a walking tour with Mulalo. He showed us lots of diverse spots in the city and had a great knowledge of the history of Joburg! It was from the point of view of a ‘younger’ person, which was nice for us, as he showed cool and hip places as well. Would recommend it to get an overview of the city.
