Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Full day Johannesburg and Soweto and apartheid tour. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Fantastic tour of Soweto with extremely knowledgeable guide.
William collected us promptly from our hotel and took us to Soweto. We stopped at the entrance sign for a photostop, then again at the colourful old cooling towers. Next we visited inside part of the townships, met with some of the residents to help us understand the difficult conditions they lived in. Whilst humbling, it was not threatening, everyone was made welcome whilst they got on with their life. We were invited to donate to the school nursery project, but under no pressure. Then we went to Vilakazi Street and the former home of Nelson Mandela, before visiting the scene of the 1976 student uprising, which led to the greater international awareness of the apartheid regime. Our final stop was at the Apartheid Museum, our 90 minutes there could easily have been double but we had a flight to catch. Throughout the whole tour, William was extremely knowledgeable about the history of south Africa from the 17th century, but we focused more on the 20th century and the rise and fall of the apartheid regime, and the role Soweto played in that, and how the townships came about and developed. He explained all this carefully and with an encyclopaedic knowledge. We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone interested in this aspect of the culture and history of South Africa.
Response from the operator: Thank You.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full day Johannesburg and Soweto and apartheid tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pretoria.
How much does Full day Johannesburg and Soweto and apartheid tour cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Soweto and apartheid tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 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 Soweto and apartheid tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Soweto and apartheid 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 Soweto and apartheid tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day Johannesburg and Soweto and apartheid tour?
+
Around 1 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 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day Johannesburg and Soweto and apartheid 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 Soweto and apartheid tour?
+

+
