The tour was excellently conducted. We were picked up at our b&b on time. It was a interesting introduction to life in South Africa especially the Vooktrekkers museum. Our guide Macy was knowledgeable and very instructive. Thank you Macy.

My mother and I were collected from the airport by Pastor. She was in a wheelchair due to a back problem. Pastor was polite, patient, helpful, and very interesting to chat with due to his knowledge of the country and region. He also took us back to the airport. At check-in, when I realized that I'd packed some disallowed items, I called him and he came straight back. Within 45 minutes, he'd delivered the items to my sister to deal with.

Mark, was supposed to be at the airport, once our flight arrived. We arrived on time, collected our luggage, and out the gate...to nothing, no one, just us standing there. So, we waited...and waited . Then we found someone at information to call, regarding our confirmation. The driver was one. His. Way...he was only 25 minutes out! So 45 minutes later, he shows up, we were ready to board a UBER. Well, he'd been golfing, and had to rearrange his luggage compartment, where all his golf stuff was stashed., to fit our luggage. He had his clubs, extra putters and a golf bag cart. Bottom line is we paid twice as much for this service, as a Uber would have cost, and arrived at our hotel 2 hours after our arrival. So if there were no starts, this service would receive that!

Enjoy an orientation of Joburg City with a special visit to Soweto where you'll get to see the Hector Pieterson Museum. Hector Pieterson has become something of an iconic image of the fateful day, mostly due to the photograph published across the globe. Today, June 16 is the National Youth Day to honor Hector Pieterson and the then young people who fought against apartheid rule. A memorial dedicated to one of the fallen heroes not be missed.
