Johannesburg – known as Jozi, Joburg, or eGoli (City of Gold) – is
South Africa’s largest city and its economic heartbeat. Rich in
history, culture, and contrasts, a guided Johannesburg city tour with
Ates Africa is the best way to understand and experience everything
this dynamic metropolis has to offer.
Johannesburg City Tour Highlights
Your Johannesburg city tour covers the city’s most significant
cultural and historical landmarks. Visit Nelson Mandela’s former house
in Houghton, walk through the sobering exhibits of the Apartheid
Museum, explore Soweto – the most densely populated township in the
country and the birthplace of the anti-apartheid movement – and
discover the story of how a gold mining camp grew into one of Africa’s
most powerful cities. The Apartheid Museum is one of the most
important museums in the world, offering a powerful and moving account
of South Africa’s journey from oppression to democracy. Soweto is home
to over a million people and was the centre of the 1976 Soweto
Uprising, a pivotal moment in South African history.
Half-Day and Full-Day Options
We offer flexible half-day and full-day Johannesburg city tour
options, and can combine the Johannesburg city tour with a visit to
Pretoria for a full Gauteng experience. Pretoria is home to the Union
Buildings, the official seat of the South African government, and the
impressive Voortrekker Monument.
