Soweto and Johannesburg & Apartheid Museum
Overview

Mobile ticket
Why the travelers book this tour because Soweto represents the hard-fought struggle against apartheid. We look beyond the bloody legend of the 16 June 1976 uprising and behind the hardened face of resistance politics, to the core Soweto- its people. Soweto is about people leading their lives - working and commuting, celebrating and grieving, see the poverty of an informal settlement shack and hostels in contrast with upper class suburbs of Diepkloof in Soweto. this tour promises a warm experience of this fascinating place.

2.00The tour was average but not what we anticipated as the apartheid museum was closed due to holidays. We were not informed and price was not adjusted. Our driver was kind but little dialogue occurred. We enjoyed Mandela House and prison but those were guided tours by someone else at those sites.

5.00Gabriel our guide was extremely informative and helpful. He provided a really good insight to Johannesburg area, in particular the different areas within Soweto. The Apartheid Museum and Nelson Mandelas house provide really good information on the history of Apartheid

4.00Great tour of parts of Johannesburg and Soweto I could never have found on my own. Joseph from Jeff tours was very knowledgeable and informative and knew all the short cuts when we clashed with the G20 preparations. The Apartheid museum is very good and you could probably spend all day there but 2 hours was enough to get some great knowledge of what went on under apartheid.
Deep dive of Johannesburg
