Spectacular views from Elevate Rooftop at the Reef Hotel.Viewpoints & Watering Holes Tour
This six-hour tour is ideal for private groups that want a fun outing, spending time together while learning something new and changing their perspectives of Johannesburg and South Africa. It is perfect for a corporate group or a family/friends celebration.
We travel by bus between six exceptional pubs, bars and rooftops in the Johannesburg inner-city, telling the mesmerising story of the city along the way (we can choose the period/theme of storytelling together). We explore the forces of history that shaped the city into what it is today. A day of fun, drinks, learning, changing perceptions and contemplating the future too. An experience that will touch you deeply.
Typical stops could include the Bannister Hotel, Jozi Gold, Da Vault, Elevate Rooftop at the Reef Hotel, Troyeville Hotel and Bertrand Café. However, we have a whole gamut of alternative stops to choose from, depending on your group size and interests. The tour can be customised to suit your specific needs. We can add lunch or dinner in as well, if needed. However, extending the time will increase the overall cost.
The story we tell along the way is not about the places we visit per se, but about the city you see from, and experience via, these exceptional venues. It is simply the best way to get an overview of the history of Johannesburg – one of the most complex and astounding cities in the world.
The storytelling, presented by Charlie Moyo, is mesmerizing, intense, engaging and thought-provoking. It unpacks the contested history of Johannesburg in six separate sessions, presented at the stops along the way.
