Johannesburg Green Tour

The Johannesburg Green Tour shows you the city and its suburbs like you've never seen them before and takes you to Jozi's most picturesque spots.

Where does the Johannesburg Green Tour start? 

The Green Tour currently starts from our bus stop situated on Cradock Avenue, between Baker Street and Arnold Road, close to The Zone @ Rosebank, but you can hop on at any of the other stops and buy your ticket on the bus. See timetable.

Directions to our Rosebank ticket office

If you're arriving in Rosebank with the Gautrain, take the north exit. Use the lift and it will take you directly to the pedestrian walk, with KFC on your right and Nando's on your left. From here you can head straight to the ticket office, which will be on your right. If using the escalator, turn right at the top and head towards the pedestrian walk of The Zone @ Rosebank, between Nando's and KFC, and then straight to the ticket office.

Directions to our Rosebank bus stop (you can go straight to the bus stop if you bought your tickets online)

The bus stop, from which our red buses leave every 30 minutes, is situated on Cradock Avenue, between Baker Street and Arnold Road (diagonally opposite Fourno's). If you have tickets already, you can go straight to the bus stop. If you arrived with the Gautrain or are walking from the ticket office, walk in the direction of Cradock Avenue (towards Tashas and RocoMamas) and turn left at FNB into the Cradock Avenue pedestrian zone. Walk past the Rosebank Mall on your right-hand side and the lawn and parking lot on your left. Cross Baker Street and you'll find the bus stop (26°08'52.5"S 28°02'33.5"E) on your right. If you're unsure, a City Sightseeing staff member will direct you or walk with you from the ticket office to the bus stop.   

Our buses follow a timetable that can also be found on our bus stop signs and brochure.

Hop on our shuttle from Sandton and Melrose to Rosebank

We offer City Sightseeing ticket holders a free shuttle service from departure points at certain hotels in Sandton and Melrose to the Rosebank ticket office, making the red bus easily accessible for tourists, business travellers and locals.
