A must see in Joburg - Amazing tour of Ponte City. Lots of interesting information about the neighborhood and the building is just one of a kind. Moreover you will get splendid views of all over Joburg.

Not to be missed! - Extraordinary experience thanks to Kea who brought the history of Ponte Tower to life in an exciting way! The tour of the apartments, the view, the basement, the anecdotes! To see!

Jozi my Jozi! 💜 - The most incredible experience! So amazing to be tourists in our own beautiful city, Jozi. Thank you for enlightening us 🇿🇦

What a rewarding experience, and excellent tour guide! - Highlight of my personal Joburg Nostalgia Tour, having moved to Cape Town in the mid 80's. The building itself and revealing view are mind-blowing enough, but Dlala Nje’s guide elevated the experience higher still (regret that I lost her name, hence my included pic). A bright young lady who relayed the story and context in an informative, concise and easy-on-the-ear manner – plus plenty of insider details. Made even more enjoyable by her warmth, honesty and wit! Gratifying to see how well managed security is for Ponte residents – with facial recognition entry, controlled visitor numbers and duration, types of permitted activities, etc. The rejuvenation project is clearly WIP, but what a monumental success story, thus far! Good to have shared the experience with a Joburg family and their teenage son, as well as three international visitors – and to hear the answers to their questions. Very heartening to also see the community centre and how Dlala Nje enriches the lives of local children – see their website’s gallery. And its free - as our guide said, if they can get here, we take them. A tip - allow 30 min more than the stated one hour, for continued chats and to avoid losing your booked ride and following booking. My only negatives are… the advertised R250 cost is misleading, as that’s for a child; the full adult and seniors’ prices should be stated, and children’s fees thereafter. And the drop-off and meeting point could be clarified from the start – it is at Ponte’s security-controlled vehicle gate at 1 Lily Ave (a cul-de-sac), then walk in along the driveway and look for a group of people.

A Tale of the Two Cities: From an Urban Slum to Modern Landmark - From watching horrors programmes abour the building and reading heart wrenching stories in popular media, Ponte City was definitely on my TO NEVER VISIT LIST…I then ended up there…The building has undergone an incredible transformation, and a significant part of its positive story is thanks to the work of a social enterprise called Dlala Nje. Dlala Nje (meaning "just play" in isiZulu) operates from the building and is dedicated to challenging the negative perceptions of Ponte and the surrounding Hillbrow neighborhood. They run tours and experiences that offer an authentic look at the area's vibrant culture, history, and the daily lives of its residents. All profits from these tours are funneled directly into their community centers for local children. A list of movies filmed there includes: * District 9 (2009) * Chappie (2015) * Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) Dlala Nje's presence has helped turn Ponte City into a beacon of urban renewal, demonstrating how community-focused initiatives can be a powerful force for change. This place is a must visit!

- Interesting building , great reflection on society. Cynthia was a informed and welcoming tour guide and you money goes to a good cause. Don't hesitate to go!

Ponte City is Ponte Love - explore the place where people make the difference - Where does one go to encounter Johannesburg as a Newbie to the city? Go straight to Ponte City, talk to the Dlala Nje people and experience what Joburg is like. It covers all the important history from 1970 until today. Once you get into it and listen to Dlala Nje, watch how they go about, experience their warmth and kindness you know most of the stories you heard just buy tourits. People (= Dlala Nje) make the difference. Back then in March last year I immediately knew I wanted to come back. The venue on the 51st floor just accomodates perfectly a birthday party. Size, style, facilities - but the most important the staff made us feel at home. They accomodated every need we had and were the perfect host. You can not put it in words: go there, experience how people stand up, make it happen, empower themselves and others. It is real. It is Dlala Nje. Ponte Love.

Great experience - Very captivating tour of an interesting building. Great views! The community project is awesome. They are changing kids lives!

Awesome Experience. - Extremely well organised and safe. We really enjoyed the experience. Dlala Nje staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Beautiful views of the city - Probably some of the most unique brutality architecture you'll see on the continent. With some fascinating history as well.
