Kaizer did an excellent job leading me on a tour of the Maboneng precinct. He told me the history of the region and we discussed the many works of street art. I was safe the entire time and really enjoyed seeing this revitalizing part of the city.

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.
