The tour offered a close look at some interesting places in Johannesburg. The quality of the bikes left much to be desired, the first bike I tried didn't even have working brakes and some participants had trouble with theirs. The pre-departure procedures and overall guiding during the tour also needs improvement. - Pompeyo
My wife and I booked the tour as we wanted to learn more about areas that are not normally considered to be "tourist destinations". We were not disappointed. We got a greater understanding of the history and incredible street art of Maboneng while also discovering cool businesses and enterprises. Further away we learned more about the history and modern life in Troyeville and Jeppestown, while Victoria Yards was totally unexpected. Highly recommended if you are interested in doing "something different" in Johannesburg, albeit I must say the bicycles were not the best; the brakes on mine were barely functional. The longer-term success of the tour might be improved by cycles that are more obviously well maintained (perhaps we were unlucky with our bikes, and no harm was done) but no doubt at all about the energy, engagement and knowledge provided on the tour. Our excellent guide (I think his name was Sam, and it's on me that I'm not certain more than a month later) certainly knew his stuff --- and most importantly knew people out on the streets to bring the tour further to life. Really enjoyed our Sunday afternoon. - Andy
My bike tour of Manonege's Jeppes Town in Johannesburg during Heritage Weekend was absolutely phenomenal. As a result of COVID, I was lucky enough to be the only one on the tour. It was exciting, riding through the streets; it was heart-warming, seeing people that I had already met around town; it was bitter-sweet, falling in love all over again with a city that I have lived in for two years...knowing I only have one year left to enjoy this wonderful city. - Sheri
Great to explore the East City of Johannesburg on a bike. Such cool sites to see and amazing street art. - James
