Excellent overview to South Africa's history - It was our 1st day in South Africa and we we were very excited to learn the history of the country and this is the best way to have it. Our guide Michael was excellent, informative, patient to thousands of question , very friendly. The entire trip was going around all the major places in Johannesburg and understanding the major monuments, buildings, followed by constitution hill and then to Apartheid Museum, followed by Sowetho. I think this is one of the best trips to start your trip to South Africa

Excellent well organised informative tour - Well organised. Superb guide.

Soweto was amazing being on the street where Mandela / Desmond Tutu lived. Apartheid museum was so educational. I would highly Reccomemd this tour. We went to Robben Islsnd later in trip and it was a massive disappointment by comparison.

Enjoyed learning about the history of SA - Very interesting to visit the prison and Soweto. The trip through the city of Johannesburg was a bit tenuous and could have been skipped.
