Overview of your Johannesburg tour

Experience the journey to freedom as you have never seen it before, visit the biggest township in the Southern hemisphere, walk at the Bara market, see the hustle of the township as people go on with their lives selling all kinds of things at the marketplace. After the Soweto tour, we visit one of the great museums around Johannesburg. The Apartheid museum has all that you need to know about the system that was introduced in the old South Africa. See what happened before South Africa adopted democracy. Apartheid belongs to Apartheid museum. Go and see it.

Mmesi was friendly and knowledgeable. An educational day spent in Johannesburg.

We had one day free before flying out from O.R. Tambo airport. Mmesi accommodated an early pick-up and drop off at the airport with lots of time to spare. We experience the good and ugly of Soweto and got to see a typical upper, middle and low class suburb. The interesting facts shared and the opportunity to visit the home of a local resident and the largest taxi rank made the day unforgettable. We always felt safe in Mmesi company. Don't hestitate to contact Mmesi if you want an authentic tour!

Mmesi is a very knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful guide. He took us off the beaten track and we saw hardly any other tourists during the day while seeing all the sights we had come to see, and many more. We felt very safe during the whole tour. We enjoyed Mmesi's company and will certainly choose him again if and when we return.
