Great experience! - My wife and I had an incredible experience on this full day Tour. Tshepo our guide was exceptional with his knowledge, friendly and accommodating throughout. The tour itself was structured perfectly, allowing you to understand the complex history of South Africa to better understand their present. If you’re pressed for time in Johannesburg, look no further then this tour!

This tour is a must in Joburg - Fantastic tour provided by Phillipians 4 Four. Our guide Natty was really friendly, commucative and had full of knowledge about the city to share with us, a small group of 3 and 4 people, partially. I was only a little bit disappointed about the 2 hours slot given for the Apartheid Museum as I had to hurry up to the "see" the whole exhibitions. Therefore, I wish we had more time left to explore this interesting museum properly. The rest of the tour encompassing the Constitution Hill with a local guide, Soweto and its surroundings was really pleasant and I learned a lot, having a great time in Joburg. That's why I truly recommend the people to book this tour.

Good City Tour - The tour was nice. They pick you up and drive you through the main touristic locations of Johannesburg, it's good especially if you want to see everything and gotta little time to spend in the city.
