DE combination of e EN relaxed atmosphere, interesting information and beautiful views made this an unforgettable look - Our tour with Shane was truly a fantastic experience! From the first mom ENt everyone felt welcome and at ease. Shane is not all EN very friendly DE corpse and welcoming, but also a real connoisseur of the area. He told with great EN enthusiasm and humour about DE history, culture EN special stories you don’t hear anywhere else. What made this tour extra special was that Shane was perfectly suited to our interests. He took DE time to answer DE and made sure we got to the most beautiful places – some even real hidden gems we never found ourselves.

Great half day tour - Did the half day tour with Shane. I found him to be friendly, punctual, personable and knowlegeable. He gave great local insights and facts on many things. I also very much appreciated that he was able to personalize the tour itenerary and time frame for me. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short (or longer) tour in the region. Thanks Shane

City tour - We took a tour of Johannesburg with Shane. Shane picked us up at 2 different hotels and we headed out. We hit the highlights recommended by Shane as we were open to anything. Saw the Mandela house, Constitution Hill, and the Apartheid Museum. Shane was a great guide and we enjoyed learning what he had to share. Highly recommend.

Great private tour - I was referred by a friend who had a tour with Shane just a few days prior. Communication was great from beginning to end. The tour ended up being private tour and was a wonderful last minute addition to my trip Shane is full of knowledge and has a great love for Johannesburg and South Africa. I definitely would have missed out on a lot of history if he hadn't shown me around. The tour schedule helped us avoid the crowds and the lines at each site. The staff at all of the tour sites know him and are friendly with him. Shane took photos at various locations so I didn't have to and even messaged me some tips for places to eat and see for later on during my trip.

Private tour - only way to tour! - Fabulous private 1/2 day tour. We had some extra time as we were over holding a day in Johannesburg Tambo airport prior to departing on our 10 day safari. We wanted to learn more about the city and the history of Africa however were apprehensive to go on just any tour due to safety concerns and did not want a large group tour. After spending 6 hours with Shane I can unequivocally recommend his service. I was v impressed with his knowledge and depth of African history and local etiquette. His driving was good. Vehicle clean (no odours) and he was very attentive to our questions. He showed up on time at the airport hotel and at no time did I feel uneasy. He knew his way around and got us in to the various venues with ease (no line ups). After the tour I felt I had learned alot and it was great value.

Very dissatisfied :( - Our first tour, the tour guide did not show nor reach out to us to let us know why. The second tour the guide did show up and the experience was decent so we scheduled a third tour which our pick up time according to the booking was for 8am but the driver changed it to 6am. We were not ready and we were left. There was not enough time for us to be compensated for the inconvenience due to the fact that we were leaving the next day. I was very disappointed with their service.
