Above andbeyond customer service! - I dropped an item on the bus as I got off. I quickly realized, but the bus had already departed as it was the last run of the day. A customer service agent was able to contact the driver, and he located my item. Another bus (also on its last run) took me to the depot so I could retrieve my item as I was flying out the next morning. We were having an issue with the BOLT app to get a ride back to our hotel. As it was a bit of a sketchy area, Gavin (the driver) and Kurt offered to drive us from the depot to our Hotel which was approximately 15km away. They went above and beyond in helping me retrieve my item and then making sure we made it safely back to our hotel. The Hop-on Hop-off tour was great but the customer service by everyone we dealt with was top notch!

Pleasant Johannesburg Experience - You’re able to spend as much or as short of time as you have to visit throughout the City. We definitely will want to return to Apartheid Museum for a full day by itself.

Expanded Perspective - Absolutely loved the beautiful weather accompanied by the great narration! I've lived in Pretoria for two years and like Joburg, but this tour gave me a whole new and expanded perspective! My favorite lines were about how those who love in Joburg learn to live with difference, juxtaposition and diversity even with their troubled past. We loved Soweto and the special team that helped us get around there. Not enough time for all of the stops, so we will be coming again!

Hop On/Off Johannesburg. - The staff was wonderful! We did the Soweto extension as well, interesting history! Well run, well organized. Everything on time. The city itself is not safe during the day or night! Stick with your guides.

Wake up bus ride on arrival, great introduction to Joberg . - Nice start to the holiday, we got the last bus so it was just a complete circle. Quite glad as you would not want to stop near the centre of Joberg really as it’s not safe. I believe all the stops though were at attractions so should of been okay, history of joberg was explained in your ears as you go round so all good.

The tour guide was awsome, but we got stuck in traffic and only got the Soweto tour complete. Communications is needed . - More time needed, and communication with the team members at the stops would help. Otherwise great knowledge from the tour guide
