Apartheid Museum - NB THE MUSEUM IS ONLY OPEN WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY .
This is an amazing visit and something all travelers should experience. It gives you a very good idea what South Africa was before independence. We allow you a max of 3 hours to walk through the museum. The cost is R 150. We will give you a run down on what you can expect to experience on our drive from Soweto. This is the most popular tourist attraction in Johannesburg. - Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct - One of my favourite tours. Visit the prison that Mandela, Ghandi and many famous politicians spent doing jail time. You also see the Old Fort, Ladies Prison and the new Constitutional Court. It’s a sad history of how badly people where treated and hopefully with our new constitution this will not happen again. Cost is R 90 per person

Thanks Shane!!! - Enjoyed my day with Shane! He didn't rush us, so we had all the time we needed at each place. (You'll need it at the Apartheid Museum) My sister has mobility issues and he assisted her in getting around. Soweto was SO much fun, I even went back in the evening. And we got to see a protest at Constitutional Hill! Definitely a tour I'd do again!

Comprehensive Tour of Soweto and attractions! - Shane was a great tour guide on our tour to Soweto. With him being from the area, he had a good bit of information to offer in terms of historical context. We visited the Nelson Mandela House, the Apartheid Museum, and Constitution Hill.
After you visit each attraction Shane was there to welcome and transport you to the next site. We even had a great discussion about the history of Johannesburg.
I would recommend this tour if you want to immerse yourself in the history of Johannesburg.

The perfect introduction to Joburg - This was the perfect introduction to Johannesburg and South African history. Shane was so knowledgeable, flexible and understanding! He allowed as much time as I wanted/needed to visit and read the exhibitions, looked after my safety and tailored the time, pick up and drop off to my needs/requests. There is more I want to see the next time I have time in Joburg, and I will be contacting Shane to take care of me!!
