Eye-opening tour - I thoroughly enjoyed my half-day tour of Soweto. Our guide, Cpho, was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of insight into the history and culture of the area. He made the experience feel personal and engaging, answering all our questions and sharing stories that brought Soweto to life. From the historical landmarks to the vibrant local scenes, every moment of the tour was memorable. I left with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Soweto’s significance. If you’re visiting Johannesburg, this tour is a must-do experience. Book it—you won’t regret it! Highly recommended for anyone interested in South African history and culture.

Excellent immersive experience - Excellent immersive experience, we were surprised to know so deeply Soweto, besides the history, to be able to see the reality was a differential. Our guide was very attentive throughout the tour.

Impressive - The tour was really impressive and a bit startling. What you can see, we didn't expect. Our driver/tour guide Clement was really nice and talked to us as if we were his friends. It was a relaxed level. We would definitely book it again.

Learned a LOT in a short time! - We were lucky enough to have the tour leader to ourselves! Khutsu picked us up right on time at our hotel, and we were off. He was full of information, and we immediately felt comfortable. He did a great job of giving us background knowledge, and took us to several different places. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you.

Incredibly informative and eye-opening - The half day Soweto tour with Clement was eye-opening and educational. As a South African, I found it incredibly beneficial and enlightening to walk through the informal settlements and engage with members of the community who were extremely friendly and welcoming. Clement was very well informed and conveyed the historical events that took place very well. Highly recommend!
