    Do not use TripAdvisor!
    TripAdvisor did not inform us that the caves were closed but still charged us a lot of money which is a disgrace! TripAdvisor said the tour will be an average of 6 hours long which includes visiting Maropeng and Sterkfontein caves but it was only 2 hours long since the caves are closed for a long time now. The tour guide and Virgio tours was excellent, they were the ones that informed us about all the changes when they picked us up and they tried to make the short trip worthwhile. We learn from our mistakes and I will inform everyone I know to never use TripAdvisor again and just go straight to Virgio tours. TripAdvisor is deceiving you with the wrong information. In TripAdvisor’s review fraud it states: “Any attempts to mislead, influence or impersonate a traveler is considered fraudulent, and is subject to penalties. This may include but is not limited to: Attempts by an owner or agent of a property to boost the reputation of a business” Yet TripAdvisor misleads the customers with information to ensure a booking through them. very disappointed, incorrect and clearly outdated information on TripAdvisor’s site.

    Horrible
    Driver was arrogant. Expected a tip. Kept complaining out how he doesn’t get ripped by “black people”. Didn’t care how we reviewed him “give me a low rating it’s fine” Twas also more like a quiz than a tour. Save your money. Also for $400 you’d expect a van/4x4 for a private safari drive. NOPE. You get a broken down corolla to drive around gravel in. A joke

    Bad experience, cancelled tour half hour before begins
    Very bad experience. Virgio Tours cancelled the tour only half an hour before the tour begins. My reservation was accepted and confirmed a day before the cancellation. I was sitting in the hotel lobby, wasted over an hour before finding out.

    Really beautiful
    Oh my gosh. What a fabulous overnight and tour. We stayed in the tents, Lydia cooked a wonderful meal for us, a beer by the fire- joyous! They have just revamped the whole lodge, it's right next to the Anne vanDyk park for the cheetah tours, the tent area is fabulous and the lodge is really welcoming. We'll be back!

    Worth the tour on bicycle
    Education tour I was with my husband’ and 2 other friends on this tour, was amazed with the abundance of history in Soweto that help to shape South Africa to end the Apartheid. Our guide “MK” was so brilliant, bicycle were in Good conditions, we received water and guided in the museum!. Round up transportation we’re served to our private tour. We highly recommend this company and Mk who have gone extra mile with customer service.

    Quick tour of central Johannesburg
    MK was an excellent guide to Johannesburg. We didn’t have much time and he curated a very comprehensive tour just for us.

    Op de fiets door Soweto
    Mike was a top guide. He took his time and when we had a request he tried to do it. So we visited a Soweto Brewery and had a had a very nice lunch there also.

    Wonderful Elephants
    This tour was a nice introduction and very informative about elephants. Located outside of Pretoria, this sanctuary is in a nice quiet area to do this excursion. Before you interact with the elephants, you get brief information about anatomy, lifecycle, etc. When you begin the actual tour, it is quite breathtaking. You get to do a short walk with them through the sanctuary. Then you get to interact, feed, and take photos with them. At first, it looks quite intimidating, but the guides will help you get very comfortable. Definitely, take a lot of photos with them; it definitely is a memory maker. Thank you all, from Vergio tours for helping make everything memorable!

    Good 2 Day Intro Around Johannesburg
    This tour is a good intro tour around Jozi. MB was a really good guide. Energetic and engaging, he did amazing job with the iternary. Everything he showed me was amazing and interesting from Pretoria to Soweto; there was something to see. If you are coming to Johannesburg, I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a great day given how we felt. We were not feeling well in general but our tour guide was upbeat, positive and managed to cram a ton into our day.

We sort of went into this tour blind as we really just needed to fill our day and get a transfer from Pretoria to our hotel in Johannesburg. The booking process was great and Virgio Tours was VERY accommodating to our needs and made this booking even though we chose to do the Lion Park and half-day Soweto tour instead of the actual listing.

Lion Park was quite fun and even though we came back from safari and a long tour in Botswana and Zimbabwe; this was still a fun place to see lions up close and our guide there was VERY knowledgeable and entertaining. Somehow I wish this park had a longer experience so perhaps this tour can provide that.

Soweto has a lot of history and somehow I forgot how much time we had for a half-day tour. No worries though cause our guide I felt did as much as he could in our short time together and took us to places I did not expect. We saw the towers, stadium, Nelson Mandela house, a local pub/bar, had lunch, beer tasting (shame we were not feeling well to try), township and a few other places.

We never felt rushed and we felt safe and enjoyed our day.

Only reason this is not a 5 star is I do think overall this private tour is a bit expensive. Compared to the general cost of other things we experienced. Perhaps this is standard for what we get for a private tour.

Overall, I would recommend Virgio Tours and I enjoyed our time and day.
