A Must when in JoBurg

Absolute must do in Jo Burg. It takes you to the best places. I highly recommend stopping at Melrose for breakfast and shopping, Constitution Hill, Apartheid museum and enjoying the rest of the tour on the open air bus with audio guide. You get fu see the very wealthy areas from the beginning at Rosebank down to the edge of the city centre and Hillbrow (from a short distance) as well as other downtown areaa such as the mining city. It's a vast city and this is the best way to see it. The price is really good too

A great experience

We can only recommend the city tour with the additional tour through Soweto. The tour through the city is generally recommended due to the many different impressions and good explanations. An absolute enrichment was the additional tour through Soweto with "DT" as a knowledgeable tour guide.
