Soweto Private 6-Hour Guided Tour

Summary

Begin your tour with hotel pickup from your accommodation in Johannesburg or Pretoria prior to a 10 a.m. tour start time.

Other key attractions on this tour include Regina Mundi church, the Nelson Mandela National Museum, and Apartheid Museum (closed Mondays; see the Hector Pieterson Museum instead). Break for lunch at a Soweto shebeen, a type of historic speakeasy-like eatery serving up South African comfort foods that draw from the country’s African, French, Dutch, Indian, and Malay influences. Your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel in the late afternoon. Please note: A minimum two people per booking is required.
