good way to see the city, and they were super nice letting me store my luggage in the office! the only slight issue was that the hop-on hop-off times don’t seem to line up with the soweto tour times very well

I surprised my two little girls aged 7 and 12 with the bus tour and they were ecstatic! I had been before but this was their first time. I decided to tune into the kids channel just to monitor what my 7 year old would be listening to and can I unashamedly say I probably enjoyed it more than they did. LOL. I loved the characters the storylines, I was singing along with the songs, and the jokes made me holla out loud the entire time. I also loved that they were getting the important education in this manner. My 12 year old ended up also switching to our channel and was cracking up along with us. We will definitely be back to include Soweto and we cannot wait to do the Cape Town tour and any other international destination we find ourselves in where the Bus operates. What a joyful experience. The staff was just amazing and helpful. Thanks and definitely keep it up. May God bless and continue to increase you always. - A happy mom in Johannesburg 💕😆

The schedule could be a little wider because the route without descending is already long, allowing only 3 descents

We had an amazing time! On the bus you get plenty of info on many parts of the city and its history. Definitely recommend adding the Soweto tour as well! We were lucky to have Kagiso as our guide, who gave us a great insight into life in the townships and most importantly spread nothing but positivity and good vibes. 10/10!

One of my key highlights of being in Jozi was this tour. Truly an amazing experience, our guides Kea and Tshepang were so insightful, knowledgeable and passionate about the area — really great people. Soweto is beautiful and Vikalazi was truly wonderful.
