History and cultural tourist guide based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Since 2015, I have been working as a freelance tour guide for many tour companies, taking independent travelers and groups on tours around Johannesburg and nearby provinces. It's very exciting to work in the biggest city of South Africa as a tour guide and tour operator. Johannesburg is a Capital of history & Culture in South Africa, since its independence in 1994 as a democratic country. I have qualified as a tourist guide in 2017 and all these years I have become highly specialized in my area, offering a wide range of products. Private tailor-made history and cultural tours together with unique educational, and wild-life experiences. I also provided tickets for the festivals, concerts, and sports Seasons for travelers who visit South Africa for events.

These protocols have been developed to optimize recovery efforts by rebuilding confidence among travelers and ensuring a coordinated approach of the global travel & tourism post-COVID19.

Your Johannesburg tour itinerary

Here we will spend a half-day exploring the biggest township in Johannesburg. (A) Drive past the City of Johannesburg to Soweto, the most Southern township in Johannesburg. (B) Arrive in Soweto and pick up the rented bikes, the start at a local shop to buy some locally baked cakes. (C) We will head to Hector Petersen Memorial Sites, a guided tour outside the museum. Hector Pieterson's site gives us a demonstration of the 1976 June 16 student uprisings and protests by youth against the Apartheid regime.
