Memorable, emotional and informative tour - This tour was very informative, thorough and emotional experience. Our guide was friendly and also told us a lot about the history of South Africa and also the modern South Africa. We spent a lot of time at the Apartheid museum learning about the history. Then we visited Soweto also on foot, and were shown the local daycare. A wonderful experience.

Amazing Tour - Collins and Khutso were so patient with us and willing to make stops for us to take pictures. Khutso was so knowledgeable about the history of Soweto. Both gentlemen were so welcoming and made us feel safe

Khutso and Collins (intern) were fantastic! They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and very engaging - Booked the Soweto tour with my friend and had an amazing time. Everything was seamless from pick up to drop off. Khutso was our tour guide and he also had Collins, an intern, with him. Both of them were fantastic guides. Khutso was very knowledgeable and shared lots of gems with us. Both of them were friendly and welcoming. They explained all the different parts of the tour thoroughly and answered any questions we had. Lunch was included and very delicious! Really enjoyed the walking tour in one of the settlements. Felt safe throughout and knew we were in good hands!

Brilliant!!! Extremely memorable and not to be missed. - This was the ultimate experience for the 3 of us from Australia. Hands down, the highlight was touring through Soweto and walking through the poor townships meeting the locals and even being invited into one of their homes. A local resident showed us around and explained their way of life and hardships. The buffet lunch near Nelson Mandela's and Desmond Tutu's house was very tasty and filling too. It was great seeing Johannesburg's tourist and historical sites. The tour guide, whose name we can't recall I'm sorry, was an absolute gem - captivating, full of knowledge and a delight from the time we were warmly greeted on pickup to the time we said goodbye at our accommodation. If you only do one tour in Johannesburg then make this one a priority. We highly, highly recommend this tour. It was such an eye opening experience and something we'll never forget.

A tour not to be missed - We had the most amazing day led by our immensly acomplished guide, Thapelo. The highlights were the walk through the informal settlement where we learnt about the creative way the people overcome their challenges. Lunch was one of the best meals in Johannesburg, authentic and delicious. Even the sombre parts of the day were filled with hope for the future.

Recommended experience - Convenient pickup from hotel. There’s so much history in Soweto and we were able to catch a glimpse of the locals’ life. Carson, our tour guide, has been knowledgeable and shared many insights on the city, and the sights we visited.
