Description

Begin your full-day tour of Johannesburg with a convenient pickup directly from your hotel. Then, hop aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set out to discover the City of Gold. The first stop on the tour is the Old Fort on Constitution Hill. Built by President Paul Kruger in 1983, the fort is just seven years older than the city itself and served as a prison in the early 1900s. Here you'll also get to see the Constitutional Court, a substantially more modern structure inaugurated on March 21, 2004, South Africa's Human Rights Day. From here, your tour continues to the old Johannesburg CBD. See historic buildings and landmarks, providing a glimpse into the city's past architectural grandeur as well as its story of growth and development. Then, visit the Apartheid Museum and learn about the rise and fall of apartheid, South Africa's racial segregation system that remained in force until the early 1990s. Spend two hours exploring the museum, embarking on a journey through the country's history, from the dark days of oppression to a time of healing founded on the principles of democracy. Discover what life under apartheid was like, learn about political executions, the significance of June 16, 1976, Nelson Mandela's release from prison and his election as South Africa's first black president, and more. After you visit the museum, your tour continues with lunch, where you'll get the opportunity to sample some local fare at a Soweto eatery (cost not included), before embarking on a tour of Soweto. See the colorful Soweto Towers and pass by Mandela House, the home of the iconic anti-apartheid activist and former president Nelson Mandela between 1946 and 1962, as well as the Tutu House, the former home of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Finally, visit the Hector Pieterson Memorial, a museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the 1976 Soweto uprisings, before being taken back to your hotel, where your tour comes to an end.
