Highly recommend this half day tour - Our tour was a really good way of learning more about the history and hardships of the people of South Africa. We only had a day in Johannesburg so this tour was perfect! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. Parts of the tour are incredibly sad but it is essential to learn what happened. Can highly recommend this tour.
