Great way to experience South Africa in one day
This tour offers a brief multi-dimensional experience of South African history, culture and political situation, all in one day, which is what we were looking for having only a couple of days to spend in Johannesburg. You get to experience the journey of the original inhabitants as well as migrants like the Afrikaans, the different governments, the most famous South Africans like Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and presidents, and the homes of the rich, middle class end the poorest residents close up. Our guide Joshua was engaging and shared a wealth of knowledge with us. One reason for choosing this particular tour among so many others was that it includes both Pretoria, Soweto and downtown Johannesburg which is essential to get the full picture, and importantly it excludes the Appartheid Museum. During a packed full day tour, we recommend NOT making the Appartheid Museum one of the stops. You will need much more time to experience everything there by yourself, including all the great permanent and temporary exhibitions. We went there by ourselves the day before using Bolt, which was very easy, convenient and cheap. They recommend a 1 hour or 2 hour tour through the museum. We ended up spending half a day, and there was still more there to explore. We highly recommend this tour and our guide Joshua.

Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pretoria.
How much does Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pretoria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pretoria is not rushed.
Is Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pretoria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pretoria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pretoria and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pretoria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pretoria?
+
On Outty we rank every Pretoria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto Cultural Walking Tour with Lunch, Guided Bicycle Tour of Soweto with Lunch, Johannesburg and Soweto tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pretoria?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pretoria?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and In-person guide: English, French. Not included: Snacks; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Johannesburg and Pretoria Guided Tour?
+
