Touristy, but make what you want of it by allowing time at stops and definitely add the Soweto extension - Don't usually do this sort of thing but with only one day in Johannesburg we wanted to cram in as much as possible. Overall a good tour, the highlights being firstly, the Apartheid Museum (don't miss out on spending time here even though it can be shocking in places) Secondly, make sure to add the Soweto option. This is on a smaller open minibus and guided by locals from Soweto, our driver Linda and guide DT (I think, sorry if wrong) were brilliant and highly informative.

City + Soweto tour - What an amazing experience! We had a great time. We were able to explore every part of Johannesburg and understand the history behind the city of Gold. The Soweto tour was the cherry on top with our amazing tour guide who explained every detail about Soweto’s past and present.

Johannesburg city tour - I really enjoyed the tour. Kea, DT and Vincent were amazing. The Soweto, Mandela and FNB stadium history stood out for me.
