Soweto tour - Soweto tour with Kagiso was an absolute blast he kept the energy and vibes up! He had so much knowledge and was so great at explaining the history of the area and sights. Also doesn’t hurt that he takes fabulous photos! Highly recommend this tour and also shout out to the driver victor and the other guide who met us at hector pietersen museum( sorry didnt catch his name!)

Highly recommend for solo females - Couldn’t recommend more especially the Soweto tour! As a young solo female traveller I was nervous about going sightseeing in Johannesburg but with the hop on hop off bus I felt safe and well looked after all day. The buses were clean, well organised, arrived on time and for most attractions they drop you within a gated car park so it’s very safe. I did the Soweto tour with guides Mohumozi and Timbo and driver Linda. They were great! Very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm! It was really good to be shown around by guides who actual live in Soweto

Best Hop on Hop off experience - Muhumuti (forgive the spelling) was our tour guide and he's absolutely brilliant! Engaged positively with all attendees and brought lots of laughs, smiles and information. Would definitely recommend to add the soweto optional tour.

Good basic tour with pre... - Good basic tour with pre recorded tour on red bus route. The Soweto tour has a guide and felt rushed, as two hours doesn't feel enough to do justice. There are a few places that you get off to take pictures on the Soweto tour.

Interesting trip - Poor customer service by receptionist - It is a very interesting route around Johannesburg particularly for tourists that want a feel for Jodi. Interesting stops and opportunities to visit Museums and places of interest in JHB such as Constitutional hill, Newtown Apartheid Museum Gold reef city. Loved the route and the stops. Rude female receptionist in Rosebank on Saturday 3rd of Jan 26, unfriendly and needs to treat customers with respect and realize that maybe her signs need to be clearer. Poor poor service! Commentary needs to be updated Lillisleaf has been closed for years
