5.00It was very educational. We saw Mandelas home and the different sites and learned a lot of history especially the Soweto district. It was a full day tour. The instructions where to meet and get ticket was easy. Tour guides were great snd friendly with fluent English. I will recommend to all who go to Johannesburg. Plenty restaurants at final bus stop.
Great.
