    Review of: One Day Africa Tours (Johannesburg)
    Soweto walking tour - awesome
    Informative and challenging walking tour - would highly recommend for those hoping for a bit more than just being dropped off by a bus.

    Review of: JoburgPlaces
    Wow, What an unusual place to eat in the inner city!
    Leave the suburbs and embrace the vibe of JHB. Those who are looking for a little bit more fun than a fine dining establishment, enjoy a magical evening of storytelling , poetry and amazing food. Dine in the old bank vaults of JHB. One is welcomed by friendly, attentive staff. The storytelling keeps one captivated by the history of JHB, and the food that is served, also captures this history. This is really a chance to experience a truly special part of JHB's history. Jozi is indeed a remarkable place of history, art and humanity. The venue is amazing! A highly recommended outing to do when visiting JHB.

    Review of: Kamaroutes travel Designers
    Wonderful autotour in RSA !
    We went to RSA with Kamaroutes in August 2019, we are more than delighted with the performance of this young local tour operator. Our desires were very well understood and the proposed trip was according to what we wanted. Before, during and after the trip our contact Vanessa was available and listening to us to have a wonderful stay. We strongly recommend Kamaroutes !!

    Cool Saturday Night
    I have been here with my friends on a saturday night, we danced and drink all night. The djs were great, the location is cool. This is not my favourite zone of the city, pay attention especially if you are a tourist.

    Review of: Randlords
    Absolutely Amazing
    We were invited to a dear friend's wedding reception. The venue with its views are absolutely exquisite. As the evening went on, it just got better and better when the finger snacks were served on the veranda. The evening was topped off with some of the finest food served in Johannesburg by far. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for only the best. Very professional staff, amazing food and a this in a venue with fantastic views.

    Review of: Churchills
    Location is good but the bar is expensive
    I was there on a friday evening and it was very busy. Drinks are rather expensive for Johannesburg. Music was very lound, but ok. My personal opinion - I would not go back there.

    Review of: Siyahamba Joburg Tours
    A truly unique and heartwarming tour of SOWETO
    Such a wonderful and memorable experience. We rode the locals bus then walked through the less touristy parts of SOWETO before ending our tour by sampling the traditional fermented beer and food. If you want a personal touch to your time in Johannesburg this is a really great tour to take.

    Review of: Selecta Passenger Services
    Transport Booking
    I have booked transport with Selecta for 20 swimmers from Namibia. Due to the Lockdown that was announced by the President, the competition was cancelled. Selecta has told me they are only going to refund me 60% of my money, and they didn't even provided me with a service. I then was informed they only do payments on Tuesdays. I was promised by Ross yesterday he promise they will make my payment yesterday. Today is Wednesday no payment, and you can't get through to Selecta's offices!

    Review of: Q Ba
    Great spot for sundowners
    This cocktail bar / restaurant is a great spot for a post work cocktail (or beer) while looking out over the Modderfontein area. Their food is reasonably priced and of good quality as well. From time to time they have live bands/DJs playing on a Friday evening when it is at its busiest.

    Review of: Coffeebeans Routes
    Amazing food tour
    My husband and I took the guided food tour of Joburg and tried amazing meals and drinks on an urban farm, in a fancy restaurant, and in a budget diner. We were so stuffed by the end of the day that we weren't able to eat the last meal and opted for tea instead! And the two of us are HUGE foodies, so it is rare that we turn down a meal. What a great way to get to know the city and experience local culture.
