We'll pick you up from your hotel at the agreed time to start our tour. Our first stop will be the Apartheid Museum, which illustrates the rise and fall of apartheid. We'll explore the museum and delve into the history of this country.
We'll then visit Gandhi Square, named after the famous pacifist, who once had his legal offices here. You'll see a statue of him erected in 2003 at the square too.
