Ponte Tower: A View You'll Never Forget! - The Ponte Tower tour was an incredible experience. Alvaro was incredibly warm, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable about Ponte and the history of Johannesburg. His insights helped us connect the dots and gain a deeper understanding of how the city developed over time. If you’re feeling hesitant—don’t be. The moment you drive onto the premises, you feel very safe. Just a heads-up: if you have a fear of heights, prepare yourself—it’s all part of the unforgettable adventure!

A unique and impactful experience - We complain about occupation. This is the Ponte Town building in the dangerous Hillbrow neighborhood of Johannesburg. A unique example of brutalist architecture from the 60s/70s, with about 60 floors conceived in its day as a luxury residential city for 2500px. With the fall of apartheid it is occupied by the mafias and comes to host more than 10000px in tremendous conditions, proving one of the most dangerous places in the world. Trash thrown out of the windows reached the 14th floor, throwing away even the dead bodies. The government proposed to buy it, close it by surprise turning it into jail since it had everything worse inside. The far-fetched idea was not realized, but from 2003 a long period of unemployment began. Today you can visit, resulting in a unique and impressive experience, while offering the best views of the city. Worth the visit. But you will hardly find visitors alerted by the danger of the neighborhood.

Ponte educational tour - Great tour. Guide was knowledgeable and energetic. It was safe and a great community of people. Supporting the organisation is a must.

Wonderful Experience! - The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Alvaro, was super-friendly, very knowledgeable and entertaining. He spoke, but also listened when we had stories to tell as well, and I appreciate that very much. We felt so much at ease, in the building, and with Alvaro as our guide. Well done to all of you who do such a great job at Dlala Nje!

Hard to Explain a Must See - This is an amazing experience all around. Many local people seemed fearful of us going to Ponte, even our guide. He was so curious he joined our tour and came out as marveled as we were. Highly recommend

A must see - I had the privilege of being guided by Julian, and this was truly one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced. Seeing the tower from both the top and the bottom, while hearing its history firsthand from such an outstanding guide, was unforgettable. The entire process was seamless, and the rest of the team provided excellent directions to ensure a safe and smooth visit. This was the highlight of my time in South Africa—an absolute must for anyone curious about urban planning and South African society.

Understand Joburg on a deeper level - Such an important place to see and understand in Joburg. Don’t hesitate, it’s the best thing to break down the barrier and understand this place

Worth it - Great tour. The history of the place insane - like something out of the film Dredd. Great to see what they have done with the place. The money is well worth it. Its an iconic South African building.

10/10 recommend! - Great tour, the guide was very knowledgeable and shared engaging stories! Really cool views of the city at the top and a thorough walkthrough of the history of the building and area.

Unique and fascinating tour with great views of Jozi - Excellent tour of an extraordinary building with a fascinating history. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and passionate.
