Great tour although we didn't get to go to the apartheid museum as it was closed and the tour of the city of joburg that was to replace it didn't happen (altho that was fine - we were tired). I thought it was a bit expensive.

The tour was great! We always felt safe and our guide gave us a lot of information. The most impressive thing was visiting a kindergarten in the townships

Very nice tour. Good guide, explained things well and a combination of things to see for 1 day I had.

Really amazing Very punctual and welcoming Highly recommend
