Very worthwhile experience - With only having one full day in Johannesburg we wanted to see as much of the main sites and get a first hand understanding of the history. This did that extremely well without ever feeling rushed. Good itinerary with an excellent guide. Organisation and communication was good.

A must - Excellent service from start to finish, museum closed, beyond company control, but alternatives were provided on the day. Our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable and willing to share, so much history to read about South Africa when I get home. Also, he expressed genuine interest in learning from the different nationalities in the group, about their countries, culture and native language. No problem in unscheduled stops for pictures. As a solo traveller, felt very relaxed and safe.

Put on your To Do list - Our guide Bobo was fantastic. Kind, well spoken and friendly. Provided good explanations of historical events linked to sites visited giving us a better understanding of Apartheid (origins, context, aftermath). Our visit to S.A. would not have been complete without this.
