From beginning to end, we had an informative, interesting and rewarding day in Joburg. Every question our group of 6 had, a helpful answer was received. All of the stops were as advertised, and because we were on a bit of a time crunch, our visits were the perfect length. Felt 110% safe at all times, completely comfortable in the late model van, and rewarded with an incredible day of memories. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Nhlanhla (Lucky) for our day tour which we organised as we had a day spare in Johannesburg. He was punctual, polite, organised, informative and kept us safe whilst we visited Constitution Hill, Inner City, Apartheid Museum and above all Soweto. Would recommend this for anyone who has time in transit..

When we arrived late in the evening at the airport, the driver Lucky of Thiya Tours was waiting for us. He brought us from the airport to our hotel. He was very helpful and knew a lot to tell about Johannesburg. The next day we had some things planned to do in Johannesburg. Because we had only one day to spend in Johannesburg we decided to take the services of Lucky. We were pleased with this decision because Lucky is a great guy and an excellent guide. He drives safely in his clean and comfortable car and he was very polite and respectful. First he brought us to Soweto where we had a tour and after that we went to the Apartheid Museum. In the afternoon we went to different places in the center of the city. Lucky knew a lot to tell about the life in and the history of the city. If you visit Johannesburg we highly recommend Lucky of Thiya Tours for his services! Danny and Sonja
