John&Roisin Newcastle upon Tyne UK - Excellent tour. Knowledge and courteous guide. Unfortunately, The Apartheid Museum is closed on Monday and Tuesday but we were given an alternative experience. Although not included in the experience we found the quality of buffet food offered at the restaurant was not as good we have experienced in South Africa. This however, was optional.

Highly Recommended - We recently had Joburg and Soweto tour for a group of 15 people with Philippians tour agents, and we couldn’t have been happier with their service. The entire team was incredibly professional throughout the planning process. The CEO Ms Solly was friendly, approachable, and always available to assist us, no matter the time or question. Their valuable suggestions added so much to our trip, helping us create an itinerary that truly catered to our group’s interests. The rates they offered were competitive, making it a great value for the experience we received. Our guides, Nattie and BoBo, were exceptional. They were not only friendly and approachable but also extremely knowledgeable. They explained the history and significance of each location with great detail, making the tour both informative and engaging. They were also very flexible, accommodating our group’s needs and ensuring everyone had an enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Philippians tour agents to anyone planning a trip. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction are unmatched!

Quite a perfect tour. - Tour was really nice and our guide, Bobo, was kindy and give us a lot of information about the city. The only problem is that we are informed that the Apartheid Museum was closed one day before the tour.
