Street culture and cities are more connected than we realize - that's why skateboarding and graffiti are always found in urban & city spaces!
Considering all the negativity you normally hear about Johannesburg and why not to come, we want to offer you a fun, exciting and informative way to engage with this amazing city!
Looking at the city through a skateboarding and graffiti perspective allows you to see the city as an urban playground where it's most interesting characters come to play, have fun and create a story of the city we can all enjoy!
By offering skateboarding, graffiti and walking tours, we show you the cooler side to the city while also explaining why Johannesburg is the way it is today!
From its start as a basic mining town in 1886 to the mix of "mini-cities in one city" it is today...the story and growth of Joburg is absolutely fascinating!
We love Skateboarding, We love Graffiti, We love Street Culture,
We LOVE Joburg!

I recommend without heistation this tour for anyone interested in local history and street art. I'm aware that visitors to Johannesburg are nervous about possible crime however, as a solo, female octagenarian visitor from London I can say that at no time did I feel at risk or uncomfortable at all. I was sent comprehenive information about the meeting place and the guide leading the tour. As it happened, I was the only person on the tour and spent a wonderful afternoon with the guide, Ayanda. Ayanda shared his insights and knowledge about Johannesburg, the artists, the artwork and the messages conveyed by the artwork, it's positioning and much more. A perfect host and guide. Thank you Ayanda and City Skate Tours.

This was our first ever visit to Jozi and with only one afternoon to do something, this tour looked like a great choice. We were not disappointed. Our guide was very knowledgable and passionate about Jozi, its history and changes, and the future of his city. We always felt safe and in good hands. No regrets and would do this tour again! Thanks!

We randomly decided to do the Maboneng Street Art & Culture Tour a few hours before the start time on Saturday morning, and it was the best decision. :) Ayanda is easy-going, insightful, and honest; we're grateful for the authentic glimpse he gave us of his neighbourhood. He has so much knowledge about each graffiti piece and its artist(s), as well as about the history of Maboneng and broader Johannesburg in general, and it was a pleasure to get to learn from him in those short two hours. Overall, it was a wonderful walking tour that reminded us that there is always nuance.

A great experience, and many thanks to Ayanda. It's truly original to explore Johannesburg on a skateboard, moving through different neighborhoods like Maboneng, Marshalltown, Chinatown and others, discovering their history and architecture, seeing how street art is woven into the city, learning about Mandela, understanding how Joburg was built, and so much more. And beyond that, cruising around the city on a skateboard is simply a really enjoyable way to explore.
