Private Full Day Soweto and Johannesburg Tour from Johannesburg or Pretoria

The private full day Johannesburg tour visits iconic heritage sites in Johannesburg CBD and Soweto, highlighting South Africa’s turbulent history and promising future. It is an opportunity to learn more about events that shaped the country’s past while also discovering the dynamic cultural diversity of two of the country’s most prominent cities. Constitutional Hill, Carlton Centre, and the vibrant Newtown Junction are among the highlights of the Johannesburg tour. Travel through Soweto, passing by notable landmarks and historic sites, stopping at an informal settlement and the Hector Pieterson Museum before arriving at the vibrant Vilakazi Street, in which was Nelson Mandela’s home.

Perhaps no other South African prison housed as many world-famous men and women as those held within the walls of Constitution Hill’s Old Fort, Women’s Jail, and Number Four – Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Joe Slovo, Albertina Sisulu, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Fatima Meer as well as tens of thousands of ordinary people over its 100-year history.

We cross over the striking Mandela Bridge on our way into Newtown. Named in honour of Nelson Mandela, the 284-metre long bridge is the largest cable-stayed bridge in South Africa and links two significant business districts. The Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown, Johannesburg in South Africa is a public space named after Mary "Pickhandle" Fitzgerald, who is considered to have been the first female trade unionist in the country.

Gandhi Square is a plaza located in the Central Business District of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is named after the political activist and pacifist, Mahatma Gandhi.

We get out in downtown Johannesburg and take a lift up to the top of the impressive Carlton Centre.
