Good Experience to see what you wouldn't usually do yourself. - We did the HoHo with optional Soweto Tour. It was really interesting and i would definately recommend the Soweto addition.

Take the Soweto option! - Took the Soweto option with SK - what a brilliant experience! Thoroughly engaging, informative and lots of fun. A minibus trip with a stop at all the significant points with guest guides and even dancing zulus. Recommended.

A great experience like no other. - It 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.

Do the Soweto tour! - It was a great way to see and get to know Johannesburg. I really enjoyed the Soweto tour specifically our tour guide his name was super long and began with the letter M. My favorite thing he told us was about the job you have depending where you sit in the taxi. I told my friends in the US they thought it was so funny. I’d never sit up front with the driver I’d be too stressed about counting the money lol.

Great tour but odd driver experience - Interesting tour with Soweto add on. Really recommend the Soweto add on - fascinating to learn more about this important township with a fun guide. We only managed to do half the main tour due to time constraints. Fantastic communication from the main office. We had an odd experience with the main bus driver - we first got on at the Apartheid Museum and travelled one stop to Gold Reef City to catch the Soweto add on. As it was only one stop we only took one set of headphones between the four of us. After the Soweto tour we got on at Gold Reef City. I asked the driver for three more sets of headphones as we are a family of four. He said we had already been given them. I explained that we hadn’t and he said “I beg to differ” - literally calling me a liar. He wasn’t on our earlier bus and we really hadn’t been given the headphones. Our receipt clearly showed we had only travelled one short stop. It was very odd. He did give us some headphones in the end but it left a bitter taste to an otherwise fantastic tour.
