Planes, Trains & Busses (O.R. Tambo Airport + Gautrain + SAA Museum)
Three transport experiences in one day: a guided O.R. Tambo Airport tour, a Gautrain ride with a Wilrien Tours rep, and a 2-hour SAA Museum tour led by an ex-crew member.
About this tour
The Planes, Trains and Busses school tour packs three of Gauteng's best transport experiences into a single CAPS-aligned Tourism and History day for Grade 6–12 learners. It is one of the most requested full-day combined tours for Johannesburg and Pretoria schools.
The day takes in a guided O.R. Tambo International Airport tour, where a registered tourist guide walks learners through the airport to better understand the tourism industry — covering arrivals, departures, foreign exchange, car hire, self-help check-in, information boards, the Gautrain link, the Oliver Reginald Tambo statues and the full history of the airport. The group then boards the Gautrain — accompanied by a Wilrien Tours representative — before ending with a two-hour SAA Museum visit at Rand Airport led by an ex-crew member. Planes, high-speed trains and the bus journey between them — the full transport story.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, all site access, Gautrain tickets, professional guiding and teacher support — making it the ultimate Tourism school tour in Gauteng.
