bien pour découvrir la ville
What a good way to see everything around Johannesburg in a safe way! We added on Soweto and it’s a must! Tour guide was lovely and knowledgable. Really enjoyed the day. After Soweto we jumped over to apartheid museum - would recommended. We were a little rushed with the final pickup time of the red bus because we definitely could have spent longer than we did! Had to cut short some of the videos sadly!
Gute Gides
We had a really great time on this tour. The vineyards were great, and all the locations were beautiful. Initially the driver was always friendly and funny, the only issue was that at the end of the trip he was a bit creepy as he asked me for "a hug like I would give my boyfriend" which made me feel very uncomfortable
Adoramos o passeio, preço justo,‘pontualidade, só é ruim para quem Gosta muito de história pois se ficar muito tempo em algum ponto vc pode perder os últimos, o mesmo p conhecer Soweto, bem apertado o tempo na van, não permite fugidas para compra de lembrancinhas ! Não conseguimos entrar na casa de Mandela somente ouvimos a história e foto na porta! Mas no geral é muito bom e com esse passeio é possível conhecer tudo
Die Informationen sollten präziser kommuniziert werden: - Der Shuttle kommt zu früh - Der Shuttle ist ein Hop-On-Bus - Wann beginnen die Soweto-Touren - Wo muss man aussteigen für die Soweto-Tour - Der Bus-Live-Link funktioniert nicht
I'm form Thailand when I visit here alway boooked this tour . 3 times for booked this tour very easy to booking ,have gide line and all places is interesting and exited Amazing Guide is the best no.1 . happy time and have experience . good memories for me . people very kind service very good . The best of tour make my trip is perfect
Nota 3. Infelizmente o tour pelo Soweto (a parte que eu estava mais animado) foi péssimo. O transporte e o hop on padrão de todos os países com esse serviço - muito bom e passa pelos principais pontos turísticos. O tour do Soweto é muito corrido e o guia que nos atendeu infelizmente era muito grosseiro. Ele se estressava pois os turistas não respondiam suas perguntas (muitos deles não falam inglês bem e por isso ficaram mais calados). Não foi uma boa experiência.
