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.
This was by far the best tour ever! Our guide Lambert was the absolute best. He was very informative and patient with our group. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We saw a lot of interesting things. It was a real eye opener. Best tour ever.
