What you'll do
Our guided walk through Ponte City, Hillbrow and surrounding areas is one of a kind. From the magnitude of Hillbrow tower and the raciness of Pretoria High street to the stupendous views of the infamous Ponte Tower (The big cylindrical Vodacom building on the Joburg skyline)
You’ll get the opportunity to explore the inner-city of Johannesburg through an entirely new lens. Understanding the history of the city of gold and grappling with the ultimate socio-economic impact of apartheid.
You'll round off the experiences by enjoying a traditional meal and drinks at a local shebeen for a chance to rub shoulders with the locals.

Where you'll be
Dlala Nje is the only way to experience Ponte Towers - the cylindrical skyscraper that dots the Johannesburg skyline!
On the fifty first floor you'll see all the way to Pretoria - and down in the core you'll discover the eerie feeling that led to the building being the set of so many sci-fi films.
After our tour of the building we'll head to other local land marks like abandoned &hijacked buildings as well as the Telkom Tower & old Post Office

Highly recommend this tour and I think other tours are the same! My guide was Gilbert. He provided an unreal tour around Hillbrow and Ponte tower. He described literally every block of Hillbrow and Ponte tower. He is very polite and interesting guide! I'm glad for booking this tour! It was extremely interesting and safe!

Amazing experience and a must do when in Johannesburg! Gilbert is a fantastic guide and the history of the Ponte tower and Hillbrow is basicly the history of South Africa.
As I tell all my friends: do not skip Joburg when in South Africa and do not skip this tour when in Joburg!
