★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 524 reviews · 8 hours · from $142

A full day in Soweto and Johannesburg, pairing the Apartheid Museum with Hector Pieterson, Constitution Hill, and key city sights, for $142.

“We had a fantastic day with our guide, Clement Tshabalala. He shared a wealth of knowledge about Johannesburg’s history and daily life, which made the tour both interesting and educational. The museum visits were meaningful, though in our opinion, visiting one less would have made the day a bit more relaxed. The visit to Soweto was especially powerful and unforgettable. Overall, a beautiful and very worthwhile experience.”

We then went on to tour Soweto and Nelson Mandela House. I was nervous about Soweto for safety and being respectful to those who live there, but Bob gave a very informative tour and it was very safe. Honestly, I feel super glad that we did go to Soweto to see the the current state of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 48 reviews · 7 hours · from $186

Full-day Pretoria, Soweto & Apartheid Museum tour with a small-group guide, key historical stops, lunch, and time for reflection.

The organizer of this tour agreed to modify the itinerary for me from one day to the next and thanks to this I enjoyed new experiences in Pretoria and the diamond mines. Contact with the organizer was always smooth and we negotiated various issues successfully. Thank you very much for your experience and concern for my well-being.”
