The tour was very informative. It’s my second visit to this site and Collins made it great. There’s so much information, even after 4 hours I still could use more time there.

The museum is excellent and gives you a much deeper understanding of apartheid and details of life in South Africa during that time. It showed what it took to change the political system .

Our visit to the Apartheid Museum was incredibly moving and insightful, thanks to our amazing guide, Marc. He brought the history to life with passion, deep knowledge, and emotional storytelling.
From the roots of apartheid to the rise of Mandela, every moment was powerful and educational. Marc answered all our questions clearly and with care. He truly made this visit unforgettable.
Highly recommended — thank you, Marc!

Allison_G, May 2025
The museum was full of information about the deep dark history of apartheid. Our guide was super knowledgeable. You could spend all day just reading through, feeling and sitting with it all. That said, the tour felt a little rushed. It could have easily been extended an hour and probably should be for people to really grasp the emotion, gravity and understand.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We apologies that you feel the tour was rushed and will improve the allocated times for each location next time .
We hope to see you again next time!

Our driver and tour guide was excellent. Mo provided a great history lesson that helped to set the stage for visiting the museum. As we navigated through the museum he also provided outstanding context. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great experience.

I’m in awe of Nelson Mandela and the support he got although it was violent (& understandable so) though he was a peaceful man & how government had to fold and release him.
Carolyn_W, Jun 2024
The guide Mwabisi, or Mo as he asked us to call him, was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

We look forward to hosting you again in the future.

Our guide Tsholo informed us about the total history of South Africa, which was great, because than you understand more about how things could happen in the past.
The museum is amazing, great how it's been built up in a timetable, the variation in statues, written words and live views is fantastic. Keep your tissues within reach because nobody will walk out of this museum with dry eyes.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much for the visit Josee!
We are grateful for sharing your positive experience with others.
We hope to see you again!

Benale met me at the airport, where I arranged a long layover to allow me to see the Apartheid Museum. He drove me there and guided me through the museum while explaining some historical things that were above and beyond what was mentioned at the museum itself. He was very personable and professional and knowledgeable. He also shared some information about Johannesburg on the drive from the airport and on the return. Highly recommend! You will learn a lot.
Ranvir_J, Apr 2024
Tsholo, the guide was superb! His explanations were easy to understand and captured the historical and cultural perspectives that are critical for visitors to South Africa. His personal stories and experiences helped to educate us. He demonstrated an expertise in cultural tourism that international travellers need from local guides! He was also our guide on the Johannesburg and Soweto full day tour!
Benjamin_G, Feb 2024
Visiting this museum was an incredible experience, revealing the depth and complexity of Apartheid in South Africa. It goes into incredible detail to reveal the history leading up to and the causes of Apartheid, but then also immerses visitors into the experience with interactive and video exhibits. Booking with Stephenson Adventures was a great choice, the service from Tsholo was incredibly high quality and professional. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering it.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for you reviewing us, Benjamin. We happy to hear that you had an incredible experience on your tour with our guide Tsholo.

My guide was very knowledgable and patient to share plenty of information and answer my countless questions. I had time to roam by myself and also time to be guided. It was a great balance.
Rebecca_M, Jan 2024
Mo was a fantastic and friendly tour guide. I was passing through town and wanted to see this museum, but didn't want to figure out transportation and timing on my own, especially as a jet-lagged solo female traveler. This tour was a really simple and fun way to visit the museum, while also have a great opportunity to learn about sights in Johannesburg along the way. Mo was also great in sharing stories and his perspective, which helped me see the city and museum through a local lens. I'd highly recommend this tour company and Mo, who made the experience a great way to start my South African adventure.
Mike_M, Jul 2023
This museum is a must see. Great museum with the best tour guide, Pule. Pule is extremely knowledgeable about South African history and very interesting to converse with. You are lucky if you get Pule as your guide.

Guys, I had the best Apartheid Museum Tour experience. Stevenson and his team where literally on fire!
My biggest fascination was their Punctuality. Stevenson was literally waiting at my hotel right on the clock!
The quality of the delivery of my tour guide was impeccable. I mean, these guys are vast in knowledge of what they do.
I recommend this for everyone 100%
Please keep it up, Stevenson.
