Wandeltocht door het centrum van Johannesburg
Beschrijving
Gezien de reputatie van de stad is dit een perfecte gelegenheid om Johannesburg te ervaren tijdens een wandeltocht en de verborgen juweeltjes en rijke geschiedenis te verkennen met een lokale gids. De tour begint op Gandhi Square en onthult de goudmijngeschiedenis van de stad via Main Street, waar verbluffende architectuur en de huidige politiek te zien zijn. We gaan verder naar Ferreirasdorp, de ‘bakermat van Johannesburg’, waar de eerste goudzoekers zich vestigden. Vervolgens bezoeken we Chancellor House, waar Nelson Mandela en Oliver Tambo hun eerste advocatenkantoor in zwarte handen hebben opgericht. Onze wandeling gaat verder naar Newtown, waar we het Workers Museum bezoeken voor inzicht in de arbeidsmigrantengeschiedenis van de stad, en vervolgens het Market Theatre met zijn rijke culturele en straatkunstgeschiedenis. We steken de iconische Nelson Mandela-brug over voor adembenemende uitzichten en een perfecte fotomoment, die ons verbindt met Braamfontein, een artistiek centrum dat bekend staat om zijn jeugdige energie. We sluiten onze tour af in Braamfontein.

Great experience learning more about the history of Joburg, its CBD, Soweto, and how it evolved and changed over time. Katlego was a greatguide.
Be aware that the description of this tour on Viator is misleading. It states that as part of the tour we would get great city views from the top of a skyscraper and also that we would enjoy a South African braai (BBQ) lunch. Neither of these were true. However, despite these two disappointments, we enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal from him. All in all, we had a very good day exploring downtown Jozi!
This is a can’t miss experience. The tour covers downtown Johannesburg and you learn the rich history of the city in an engaging way. Refiloe is one of the best guides you could ask for on a history tour. Not only is he unbelievably knowledgeable, he makes the stories so entertaining. He also added some fun bonus experiences!

My visit to Johannesburg was short and the tour took in all the interesting parts of the CBD area to see. The guide shared lots of interesting info about the various buildings and the city’s history. It was a great tour👍

This is an excellent walking tour. It is definitely worth experiencing. Mulalo our tour guide has a wealth of knowledge and showed us a lot of places with much historical background to it. This gave us a better understanding of the CBD area. Mulalo was also very friendly personable and easy to talk to and answered all questions. We certainly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. Thank you Mulalo.
Experienced different facets of Jozi downtown, felt safe at all times and the guide Mulalo was great.
execellent trip...the guiide Refiloe was young but very firendly and exteremly knowledable. would recommend.
Sites are very interesting. Unfortunately the guide gave just minimal information. Highly recommend a visit to joburg
I had my best City Walk in Jo'burg with my guide Refilwe. It couldn't be a perfect tour without him. Refilwe is a passionate person full of energy. He is super friendly, knowledgeable and excellent story teller. He remembers almost all buildings' histories in the city center, and he has his own point of view in many historical places. He is not a audio Wikipedia but he is indeed an intelligent person who put a lot of thinking and emotions in the oral reconstruction of the city's history. I came as a person having no idea at all about Jo'burg, while after such a long walk tour, I would be happy to say, I am starting to know this city!
