Full description
Walkthrough Johannesburg and feel the hustle and bustle of the people, lifestyle and culture of the city. Visit Nelson Mandela's Law firm and get a 360 degree view of the city at the Top of Africa, in the Carlton Centre. Start at Museum Africa, in Newtown, then move on to the Workers Museum, the last surviving municipal compound for African men in Johannesburg. Continue to Chancellor House, where Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo set up South Africa’s first black-owned law firm. Go to Main Street, which has some of the best old buildings in the city.

wonderfull tour trough Johannesburg with our guides Mathapelo and Jerry. They are full of knowledge and takes you trough the urban city in a very safe way. Unfortunately the Carlton Towers has stopped taking visitors for the 360 view even though the tour description says it is a part of the tour. But our guides was so nice that they gave us another option to view the skyline! so happy for that. Really reccomend this tour! Thank you OneDayAfrica.

This walking tour really allows you to get a grasp of the city, I can only recommend it. We were given lots of interesting information and historical insight about Newtown, Ferreirastown, Jeweltown and Maboneng. The tour through these areas wasn't rushed, we really took the time to look at things and discuss them. Our guide Tebogo was a well of information, very attentive, helpful, eager to answer all our questions, and concerned about our safety; he was there early at the meeting point to make sure we were alright, and at some point he even ordered an Uber to get us to Jeweltown safely. The Brai at the end of the tour was a real treat.
