Customer Reviews

Our tour of the Joburg CBD and Maboneng with the fabulous guide Eco was one of the highlights of our South African trip. We could not have imagined that walking through the Joburg inner city could be this fantastic. Whilst we also learnt a lot about the history, the focus was on the vibrant arts and culture scene. The street art is incredible and our guide knew so much about all the artists. Not once did we feel unsafe, bored or tired during the 3 hour walk. On the contrary, it left us feeling hopeful and positive about this unique city and its people. I cannot recommend this tour enough! It's fun, informative and active. - Elke


Our guide knew a lot about the street art and the evolution of Maboneng. The entire tour is very diverse and full of info and insights you do not get anywhere else. I definitely can recommend getting introduced to Jo'burg this way! - Bjoern


This was a fantastic walking tour! We learned a lot about the history of the neighborhood and Johannesburg more generally. We got to see a lot of great art, stunning views of the city, and safely wander around the central business district. You definitely need to keep safety in mind while you are in Johannesburg, but you'll be perfectly safe on this tour. I strongly recommend you check it out! - Adam


Probably the best way to visit and understand an otherwise difficult place as Johannesburg's city center. Many thanks to Ikoh, my guide, for all its help and insight. - Francesco


The experience on Inner City walking tour was awesome. We had the opportunity to learn a lot of information about Joannesburg and particurarly about the Maponeng Precint and about its new rebirth. Thanks to the very talented guide Iko we have seen the most important examples of the new design tendency and the street art in a beautiful and very vibrant environment. The guide's explanation was very accurated and in-depth. The experience is higly recommended to better understand the soul and the complexity of a city which is still figting against discrimination and poverty. Maponeng, where the guide took us, is the best evidence that art gets a truly renaissance. Congratulations to Curiocity's staff, I'd like to come again in the next trip to S.A.
