Johannesburg tour - Fantastic tour of the city with detailed information about the history of apartheid. The visit includes Constitution Hill, Mandela's house and Apartheid museum. The tour of Soweto is unique, you see the sad face of poverty and the uplifting spirit of the will of the people. Our guide Tsholo was exceptional!!

Great City Tour with Mo - My husband and I very much so enjoyed the full day city tour with Mo as our guide. He was professional, punctual, and shared a wealth of information. Mo provided a complete history about the city and the country as a whole so that you could understand the current state of affairs. Visiting both Constitution Hill and the Apartheid Museum in one day is a lot to absorb, but both are a must! It was also great visiting Soweto, which means south west townships. Mo showed us the low, middle, and upper class areas and even shared the location where he grew up and lives today. We also got a chance to walk around and learn about the amazing work Kliptown Youth Program is doing in the community. Mo and Thulani Madondo are the grass roots fighters on the ground, helping the youth strive for a better future. After learning so much history you build up an appetite, and we were satisfied with a great buffet at Sakhumzi – which served authentic local cuisine. Overall, we highly recommend this tour!

See the city through all the neighborhoods - This tour was great. Having your tour guide pick you up at your hotel is the bomb!!! We got a very thoughtful text the morning of the tour lettting us know, that due to heavy traffic, our guide would be delayed 15 minutes . I really appreciate touches like that when you have booked a tour in another country and hope it is legit. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and professional. The car was clean and spacious As this was a city tour, we covered ALOT of territory . I think we got picked up at 8:30 and dropped at our hotel a bit about 5:30. We had 10 folks our group 6 from Australia 2 from the Netherlands and us 2 American. Really great group to spend a day touring with. I think the highlight for our group was the slum visit. It put perspective on life in general If you want a light spin throughout the city, I would highly recommend this tour
