Overview

This full-day guided tour lasts about 8 to 9 hours and covers key historical and cultural sites in Johannesburg and Soweto. Transport is provided in an air-conditioned minivan, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. A local guide accompanies the group throughout the day. The tour starts in Soweto with a visit to the Hector Pieterson Memorial, where visitors learn about the 1976 Soweto uprising. Next, the group explores Greater Johannesburg’s central business district, including Mahatma Gandhi Square, for city sightseeing. A walking tour follows on Vilakazi Street, known for being home to two Nobel Prize winners. The Orlando Towers are next, where guests can view Soweto or, at their own expense, try bungee jumping. The Mandela House offers insight into the life of Nelson Mandela. The itinerary continues to Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct, which includes the first prison where leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Winnie Mandela were held. There is a one-hour stop for lunch, where visitors can sample South African dishes and Soweto-made beer called Soweto Gold; lunch is not included in the tour price. The group then spends about two hours at the Apartheid Museum, which presents the history of apartheid (note that the museum is open Wednesday to Sunday). The day ends with a visit to FNB Stadium, the largest football stadium in Africa and a main venue for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
