On this tour you are going to enjoy a unique historical and cultural experience.The tourist is going to experience friendship, vibrancy and contrast (Soweto tour). After a few hours in the apartheid museum you will feel that you were in the townships in the 70’s and 80’s, dodging police bullets or teargas canisters, or marching and toyi-toying with thousands of school children, or carrying the body of a comrade into a nearby house.

The extraordinarily powerful museum, certain to become one of Johannesburg’s most important tourists attractions, has become an obligatory stop for tourists and residents alike.
