This tour was a fantastic way to see the top sights of Johannesburg if you have a limited amount of time in the city, if you aren't sure what to see, or if you want to get a good overview of the city. The Apartheid Museum was amazing- historic, informative, moving, powerful. Visiting Nelson and Winnie Mandela's house was great- that from so humble a home could rise such strength and leadership.
