5.00We had a day off from the G20 summit and decided to take a day to explore the sights. We had an absolutely excellent day with a superb tour guide. Our tour guide was very punctual, listened to our questions and was able to answer our curiosity. The food we ate locally in Soweto was outstanding and we were able to share friendships locally. The Apartheid Museum was ok. We had a very good day overall and would certainly recommend the organisation.
Incredible Full-Day Tour of Johannesburg & Soweto with Tabiso

5.00I had an amazing full-day tour of Johannesburg, Soweto, and the Apartheid Museum with Tabiso, and I can’t recommend it enough. Tabiso is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about the history and culture of South Africa. He brought every stop to life with thoughtful explanations, personal insights, and a level of detail that made the entire experience both educational and eye-opening. His love for his country really shines through. If you’re visiting Johannesburg, this tour is a must. I highly recommend booking with Tabiso—you’ll walk away with a richer understanding of South Africa and an unforgettable experience.

5.00Great overview of Johannesburg. This was supposed to be a group tour but the group had only two of us. The guide provided detail information of sites as well as daily life of people living in Joburg. Unfortunately the Constitution Hill was closed for event on that day. We spent much longer than planned at the Apartheid Museum and the our guide had no problem with that.
Thank you Lindela

5.00This tour was fantastic! Pastor was an amazingly knowledgeable guide & he was able to show us all the important historical sites in Johannesburg in one day. We learned a lot about the current problems in Johannesburg and all the events that lead to the fall of apartheid. We finished the day at the Apartheid Museum. A wonderful packed day! Highly recommended.

5.00The tour of Soweto and Johannesburg was great. Our driver and guide, Pastor, was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable - shared a lot of details about apartheid, the work of Nelson Mandela, and other facts about Johannesburg, including the gold and diamond mining years. I was with my older parents, and Pastor was able to accommodate their needs, both for limited (and slow) mobility. We spent 1.5-2 hours at the Apartheid Museum. This was not nearly enough time to see everything -it is an absolutely incredible place! Highly recommend this as a good intro day trip into the area.
Soweto and Johannesburg experience.

5.00The experience was brilliant from start to finish and tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The guide was also happy to answer any questions as well. The tour took in all the places which you may have heard or read about. If your going to South Africa in the future a Soweto and Johannesburg experience is a must and highly recommend, it is worth every penny and a once in a lifetime experience.

5.00Our tour guide Lindela took us around Joburg, he was a wealth of information and insured we were looked after. The tour can be quite confronting but it was money well spent and we would hope more people will get to learn the history of the area and meet the people who live in it.
