Amazing tour of Johannesburg and Soweto - We've done a fantastic tour with all the family in Soweto and Johannesburg Nosipho come to our house for the appointment at 9.00, then we start the tour by our car in Johannesburg: Costituation Hill, Top of Africa, Maponeng, Apartaid Museum and then to Soweto: Stadium, Orlando Tower,Vilakazy St.-Mandela House, Hector Pietrson Memorial. In a full day we'll visit all this thing and Nosipho explain everything, she was very professional and kind with all the family. If you are not sure to visit Johannesburg by alone organize a private tour with Nosipho: it's cheap (instead of other company), professional and you don't lost time to do all this thing in one day.
