About this tour

Gold Reef City's Heritage Tour offers a unique insight into the historical world of Johannesburg's gold rush. This interactive history lesson brings to life the founding of Johannesburg and the discovery of gold on the reef. It doesn't get more real than descending 75 metres underground on an underground mine tour, or witnessing the magnificent glow of a live gold pour.

Join your Rich Beginnings virtual tour guide Veli, a modern-day schoolboy, on a journey in the company of Joe, a well-weathered prospector from the late 1800s. Pan by hand for elusive specks of gold, the way it used to be done in freezing cold water, and experience the euphoria of finding a shiny speck among the dirt.

For a magical trip down memory lane, visit the museum houses: Mr Ohlthaver's House, Dowse House and Oosthuizen House.
