Solly was a great guide! Was very happy with the tour and content. Would recommend this.
Note: due to COVID, apartheid museum was closed but we visited constitution hill instead. I believe the museum will open again in a few weeks though
Very interesting

Although we couldn’t visit the apartheid museum which was closed due to Covid, solly (our guide) made the trip worthwhile. He gave us several options to choose from to make up for the museum and we decided on Constitutional Hill and Soweto. He told us many interesting things during the trip and at the sights and was very compliant to our wishes. We totally recommend this guided tour and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you very much Solly.
Awesome!

Solly was amazing...although the Apartheid Museum was closed he still filled the time with plenty of info and other sites to see around Johannesburg. All the info provided helped myself and the other group members learn about the history of not only Johannesburg but also the country of South Africa as well. Visiting Soweto and being educated on its past was great as well. I highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting an informative look at the city.

Tours to Soweto and Apartheid Museum, Pretoria and Cradle of the Humankind and Sterkfountein Cave

I made three tours with Solly.
1. half day tour to Soweto and Apartheid Museum
2. Tour in Pretoria
3. Cradle of the Humankind and Sterkfountein Cave
I recommend Solly as your tour guide. He tries to explain you the things a good as possible and also cares that you are safe. He is also punctual and looks professional. So, if you want to have a reliable partner to guide you in to these places, I recommend him.
Very informative

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
