Excellent Soweto and Apartheid Museum tour - Really great way to understand all of Johannesburg. Our guide, Nathi was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture. He was also a great host, very considerate and encouraged discussions. The Apartheid Museum is well composed with many artifacts from that time. We were not able to see it all in 2 hours. I would encourage anyone visiting Johannesburg to take this tour first. You will come away with a great deal of knowledge and understanding.

Great tour! - Nice tour; Brian was a great guide. He arrived at the hotel in a well kept mini-van, and our 1/2 day tour started at 9:30 and finished about 2. Brian was very knowledgeable, and he provided a good bit of context about the each of the stops and fun local commentary along the way. Highly recommended.

Informative and enjoyable - I recently took a city tour and had an amazing experience, thanks to our guide, Tashepo. The tour was not only enjoyable but also incredibly informative. Tashepo shared fascinating insights about the city’s history, culture, and landmarks, making the whole journey engaging and memorable.

Excellent half day tour with Brian! - Brian was an amazing tour guide and knew everyone and everything about Soweto. He was punctual, polite, easygoing and a great driver! Solly was very good at keeping us updated as to the exact time Brian would pick us up which was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Brian and he was very welcoming and knowledgeable. He also made us feel very safe as I was a little nervous beforehand but he made everyone feel so at ease. Would highly recommend!!!!
