Customer Reviews

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. Isabella - Isabella


It was very interesting and informative. Our guide Icho's (the name may be spelt wrong!) commentary was humorous and he made us feel safe while walking us thru the city. It was a pretty exhaustive exploraton of the city. I would highly recommend any visitor to Joburg to do this tour. - Anup


Fascinating tour. Wonderful to see the use of street art as a catalyst for urban regeneration. And so interesting to see the contrast between Maboneng and the adjacent areas which have not yet started this process. - Alison


We completely loved it, and would thoroughly recommend it. It's hard to access insightful tourism in Joburg, as you never are sure whether you are safe. I'm not really sure whether we were putting ourselves at risk, but felt secure with our guide. - Emily


The walk was awesome. Great tourguide, very interesting input. Would def recommend further. - AT
