What to do and see in Johannesburg, Gauteng: The Best Literary, Art & Music Tours
Johannesburg is the place to go to mix big-city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. Explore caves and nature reserves, or visit a traditional village by day, then enjoy dinner at a hip cafe or five-star restaurant. And if you're a shopper, bring an extra, empty suitcase. With malls, open-air markets and places that blend the two, you'll find plenty of unique souvenirs.

They met me at the Gau train station and made sure they dropped me off too, to ensure my safety. The guide was very knowledgeable his passion and love for the job shone through. I decided to do the tour on my birthday and they made it so special for me.

I loved my cycle tour with Ayanda. As a solo female traveller it was just perfect. The tour was so informative and we covered so much ground, saw the most intriguing neighbourhoods and places, accentuated by Ayanda's extensive knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour as without it I would never have seen so many fascinating parts of Joburg through the eyes of someone who grew up in the east city. Thanks so much Ayanda!

Thank you very much for the professional service I received in my pick from the Joburg airport to my hotel drop off location. I appreciated the recommendations, the knowledge that was shared along the ride, and the overall security I felt when being dropped off. As a solo traveler sometimes I tend to take extra precaution when hopping into cabs, but thankfully I pre-booked this car pick up service and Peter was just super helpful and delightful to spend half an hour with as we headed to my drop off location.
