Highly recommended - From start to finish, this was a wonderful experience! We live in Johannesburg, but there’s nothing quite like taking a guided tour with the wind in your hear at the top of a comfortable tour bus, hearing all about the city we call home through the tour guide in our earpieces. Every member of the team was amazing - warm, welcoming, friendly, and a fabulous ambassador for the Hop-On Hop-Off experience and the city itself. Highly recommended, whether you’re from out of town or just looking for something different, fascinating, fun and affordable to do in your own back yard.

Refreshing Joburg experience - I went on this tour with my daughter. It was a lovely experience and we enjoyed every minute. I have been in Joburg for over 20 years but on this day, we visited places we've never been to before. The bus was on time at every stop and we were not stressed at all about being left behind. Guides were friendly and professional. Must do for all in Jhb and visitors alike!

A Historical Bus Tour - My local friends had purchased tickets for this tour for a specific date before my arrival. My flight to Johannesburg was delayed, and we thought we were out of luck, but my friend called, and we were able to use the tickets another day. The tour was good. They supplied headphones that plugged into speakers inside the bus that told the history of the city and the different sites that we passed. There were several places that you could get off of the bus to see more closely. There were buses that would come to each stop every 40 minutes, so you didn’t have to rush through each stop, and could enjoy it at your leisure. When I make another trip to Johannesburg, I would do this tour again.

Room for improvement - I opted for the 1-day ticket with the Soweto extension tour and found the logistics to be subpar. The connection at Gold Reef Casino was particularly frustrating. If you board the bus at Rosebank, it arrives at the casino at 10:34, but the details state that the Soweto tour departs at 10:33. The hop on hop off bus actually arrived at the Gold Reef Casino very close to 10:33. This timing made the transition unreasonably rushed, leaving barely any room for even a brief restroom break after a 1.5-hour bus ride. Allowing a 10–15-minute overlap here would significantly improve the experience. The Soweto portion of the tour was decent overall, but not without flaws. While most stops were satisfactory, the visit to Orlando Towers was underwhelming. The stop location didn’t provide good photo opportunities, and the visit felt rushed; just as we disembarked, we were told it was time to leave. Additionally, some buses could use maintenance. After the Soweto tour, the hop on/hop off bus that I took had a large crack in the upper viewing windshield, which didn’t inspire confidence in its safety. On the positive side, I must commend Michaela for her excellent customer service. We communicated via email, and she was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. She gave me details on the tour and promptly resolving an issue I had with my ticket. Her efforts were a bright spot in an otherwise average experience. With better timing, improved planning, and proper bus maintenance, this tour could be far more enjoyable.
