Great combination of activities - Great experience being able to combine these three elements. Not many others offering this particular combination of experiences but it suited us perfectly. The Apartheid Museum is so comprehensive and informative, a very intense but necessary experience. The Gold mine visit was a lot of fun. Shane is a great travel companion and willing to share many of his experiences from living in South Africa. Handy conversationalist if you're a cricket fan! Very responsive to messages and keeping us informed before the pick up.

A great tour with Shane! - We highly recommend this tour or probably any that Shane does. As a native since the 60’s he knows the country well and has experienced the transitions. He loves his home country and this shows thru his stories, experiences and opinions. The tour consisted a tour of Soweto pointing out different things along the way, the Gold Mine Tour at the Gold Reef Park bypassing the kids stuff and the Apartheid Museum. Shane enriched our experience that day and made recommendations on our activities the next day and dinner. We highly recommend Shane and this tour.

Day Tour of Johannesburg - This is an amazing tour if you’d like to learn more about Johannesburg and South Africa in general. The combination of apartheid museum, Soweto and South Africa’s gold mining history, gives you an in depth understanding of the recent history of this fascinating country. One of the few places in the world where you can actually go underground into an old gold mine and even more fascinating as you can see the technology which has been used to maintain the mine and extract and convert the extracted raw material into gold. Shane, your guide, is fun to be with and has deep knowledge about the country and its history. Definitely recommended!
