Whilst we are great believers in independent travel, the guided tours of Johannesburg are an excellent way to see the major attractions, and also to acclimatise yourself to the city, especially if this is your first visit to Jo'burg.  

A guided tour is the only way to see Soweto, as visitors are recommended not to visit any township area on their own. 

The tours are very popular, and if you are planning on staying in Jo'burg for only a few days, it is advisable to pre-book your tour before you arrive. 

We are delighted to offer the following day tours, in conjunction with our partner in South Africa, Springbok Atlas. The ongoing vision of Springbok Atlas is to exceed the exacting needs of international visitors, and these tours certainly offer the visitor an ideal opportunity to explore Johannesaburg with an experienced, trustworthy and informative guide. Spending a  day in the company of a recommended tour guide will also give a new perspective to the city which visitors otherwise would not be aware of. 

All tours have English commentary.

A complimentary Collection Service is available from selected Sandton and Rosebank hotels, but there may be a charge for passengers to be collected from other hotels and guest houses - rates available on request. The tour duration and collection times may vary depending on the hotel collection route.

All rates are available on request. Also, all the tours listed below are also available as private excursions, which can also be customised to your own specific requirements.
