What you can expect

Relive South Africa's journey from the unjust system of apartheid to democracy as you experience the storey through the eyes of freedom fighters. Trace the footsteps of activists as an in-character guide leads you around Johannesburg, showing you key sites in the resistance movement.

Get picked up from your hotel and meet up with your guide, who has dressed in costume and assumed the persona of an important freedom fighter. You might encounter African National Congress member Walter Sisulu, or hear from Ruth First, who was famously assassinated for her anti-apartheid activism. Head out to explore the city as your engaging new acquaintance narrates the storey of resistance through their own eyes.

Visit a variety of locations around the city that illuminate important pieces of South Africa's troubled political history. In the formerly segregated township of Soweto, pass sites such as the Regina Mundi Church, an important gathering place for activists, and see the Hector Pieterson Museum, named for the 13-year-old student who was killed by the police during pro-democracy protests.

Afterwards, take a trip city centre, where you find out the roles that places like Carlton Centre and Constitution Hill played in the anti-apartheid movement. As you complete your storytelling route, reflect on your guide's powerful narrative during the return ride to your hotel.
