Create your perfect combo

Make your trip to Johannesburg that extra bit special and personalise your itinerary by taking the Joburg and Soweto tour, which allows you to explore Vilakazi Street in Soweto. This is the only street in the world that was home to two Nobel Peace Prize winners: Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.

Don’t stress yourself by trying to fit in as many destinations as you can on your travels. Buy a 48-hour ticket to travel at a slow pace and you’ll get 30 per cent off the price.

Hop off at the Mining District – bus stop 10 – to see the South African Chamber of Mines, or at bus stop 11 to visit the tallest office building in South Africa, the Carlton Centre.
