Had a very enjoyable and informative walking tour of the Maboneng area. Sean was very knowledgeable and provided a variety of different stops. I leaned a lot about the area’s past and its present. A very relaxed, safe, and entertaining experience. Fully recommend it!

Excellent morning with Sean! I got to visit places I wouldn’t have thought to go on my own, and with the Civil Rights Day holiday, we even stopped by some additional sites. It was the perfect balance of history and present-day context, with a great mix of guided explanations and time to explore on my own. Huge thanks to Sean for coming out just for me on a holiday weekend and extending the tour
Increable
