    Great tour for my American friends

    Great to see Johannesburg from that point of view. Took my American friends on it and they really enjoyed it. Wish we had more time to do Soweto

About Paris

Experience Johannesburg in Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours

South Africa’s largest city, Johannesburg was established in 1886 when gold was accidentally discovered on a farm. This led to an exponential increase in population within years. Today, Johannesburg is a bustling metropolis and the most populous city in South Africa after Cairo.

The city also earned the title ‘City of Gold’ for obvious reasons. It is estimated that Johannesburg has half the world’s human fossils. The Hillbrow Tower is the tallest building in Africa standing at a height of whopping 270 meters.

Make sure to book your tickets in advance during the peak tourist season to avoid last-minute disappointment. Also, carry your best walking shoes to explore its elaborate caves, museums and other prominent attractions.
