A great way to get the most of Johannesburg in one day - A great way to get the many facets of Johannesburg in one day. Mo was a great guide telling many interesting facts about the city and the different places we visited.

You won’t be disappointed with Stephenson Adventures - Stephenson Adventures provided an amazing experience. Mo is an amazing guide and driver! The knowledge of the city and country is unbelievable. You won’t have any questions unanswered. He gave an honest balanced guide to South Africa’s history and a glimpse into its resilient future.

Great way to explore Johannesburg/Soweto with limited time - Excellent tour to see Johannesburg easily and safely in 1 day. The part where we went into the township for a few min with a special guide was particularly impactful. One thing I would change is that tourist trap restaurant that every tour including this one goes in Soweto for a lunch buffet--it's simply not good. However don't feel pressured to do the buffet-- you CAN ask for the a la carte menu (although in the end I ended up doing the buffet anyway)

Interesting guide - The start of our South Africa journey. Our guide Banele met us at the airport and took us safely and securely around Johannesburg and Soweto. With a lot of knowledge he led us through Johannesburg's history including apartheid and Nelson Mandela.

A great way to see Johannesburg - We had 1 day to spend in Johannesburg and this was the way to see it all. We throughly enjoyed our time with Mo as he toured us all over Johannesburg & educated us about the history & politics of the region. It was very eye opening! He picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable van—he is an excellent driver! We visited all areas of the city—the affluent areas as well as the very poor areas. We had lunch at a fun local spot on the same street where Nelson Mandela lived. We saw prisons & museums—a very full day. I highly recommend this tour!

A very complete tour for a good understanding of South Africa’s history. - An excellent tour to grasp an understanding of the history of South Africa, apartheid, and the process to end it. John was a great guide and kept everything moving on time.

Excellent day in Johannesburg and Soweto ! - My partner and I chose the Stevenson company for a full-day guided tour in Johannesburg and Soweto on March 1, 2025. Our guide was waiting for us at the scheduled time with a smile. He made us board the ultra-clean van and made sure we were comfortable, regularly checked to see if we had any questions. He was very kind and attentive in assisting us throughout the day and informing us as we went along about the history, social and political context. He proved to be an experienced guide, very well informed and happy to answer all our questions throughout the day. He is also an excellent driver, we felt safe. The only small downside that we would like to mention in a constructive spirit is the stop for a short visit to a home in Sowero (Township). We were surprised because our guide had not forwarned us (or we missed this information). Since this was a kind of sponsorship, we made a donation and left a tip to the man who showed us around. So far, it was okay… After, when we couldn’t see our guide anywhere, the man in charge of the tour invited us to cross the street to see his colleagues who were selling souvenirs… We felt trapped and forced to buy from each of them; you can tell us that it’s our problem, that we didn’t have to, but honestly, we were completely overwhelmed by this misery, poverty and courage of these people. We imagine that this was the goal so that we would be more inclined to buy… Our guide showed up, we told him that we had no more cash ZAR (as if this was known we would of made arrangements to bring more) and then, magic, we learned that we could pay by card… In short, all we would have appreciated is a little more transparency in advance (as systematically done for all the other visits planned during this day.) That being said, we recommend without hesitation this company for the quality of the tour Thank you

Fantastic overview and history of the city/country! - Mo gave an unbelievable tour - long and very emotional but what an intro to JoBerg and the history. He knows his history that is for sure!! The tour of the Kliptown YouthProgram was a highlight and very positive end to the tour. Long day but you will learn so much about JoBerg and SA history!! Loved it!!

I highly recommend this tour! - Banele was fantastic! He made sure we learned about Johannesburg’s rich history and took us to places that showed the city’s true character. The tour included entry to entry Apartheid Museum & Constitution Hill, which are must-sees. I truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to others!

Amazing!!! - Man don’t hesitate to do this tour. You hit it all in one day. Our guide Banele was amazing and very knowledgeable. He’s very protective of his passengers but gives them an authentic experience. Thank you and I will return soon!
