    10/10 the best way to see this amazing city. I cannot recommend it high enough! I was expecting inefficiency and delays (as this is SA) but the bus was very reliable and on-time. The bus was also very clean and the staff were amazingly friendly! Don't try to do all the stops. Rather, pick the few that you'd most like to see and spend some time exploring them thoroughly. (Constitution Hill is a must, allow plenty of time to see this historical site.) Spend the rest of the time on the bus seeing the sites and hearing the history of the city through the awesome audio guide.

    We had a great Red Line hop-on hop-off tour through Johannesburg and Soweto. We were lucky as the weather was perfect (23 degrees Celsius). The only challenge we faced was the fact that our Uber driver didn't know where the bus stop at Constitution Hill was located, so it took him 15 minutes more to find the stop. Once we were on the bus, we enjoyed the tour. We also took the Green Line (also a red colored bus!) to Rosebank, very convenient as our hotel was located in that area!

    A really good and safe way to see the major sights of Johannesburg with a good commentary which provides context to what you are seeing. Easy to hop off and on at interesting sights and guides who escort you to landmarks such as the Carlton Tower and the add on Soweto tour is also well worth doing.
