The 'older' part of the Johannesburg CBD and the origins of the city's mining and financial companies can be traced to this architecturally-rich part of the inner-city, known as Marshalltown. Our Understanding Joburg walking tour is also known as the Astonishing Marshalltown tour and is the best introduction to the Johannesburg inner-city. The focus is on the mesmerising history of the city. The tour tells the story of Joburg’s gold-rush inception, boom days, eventual decline and current regeneration. Starting from Gandhi Square, the tour takes in the pedestrianised Main Street in the corporate mining district, including historic landmarks such as the Mapungubwe Rhino replica, Hollard Street, the Impala Stampede Sculpture and the Shadow Boxer Sculpture in front of Chancellor House, where Mandela & Tambo once had their law offices. It is a thorough historical tour, interspersed with public art and cool sidewalk cafes.
