Great Guide - Carson did a great job! He was knowledgeable, passionate, and provided a chance for my group to see many of the areas that made us reflect more on what we knew and did not know.

Depressed but enlightened - Carson our guide was amazing. A wealth of knowledge and information. This tour as depressing as much as it was enlightening. I learn more of what I already knew but Carson and the tour filled in a lot of blanks I didn't know. Being a black American it hits home for sure. This was our civil rights movement on African soil.

A Deep and Insightful Tour of Soweto and Beyond - Our tour with our guide, Mdu, was excellent. He not only took us to the main tourist attractions but did so with great care and a strong sense of safety, while also offering us valuable social and political insights into South Africa’s current reality. At first, we were a bit hesitant about the walking tour in Soweto, but it turned out to be an essential part of the experience. It gave us a deeper understanding of the living conditions faced by many residents, who often lack access to basic services like sanitation and running water. Overall, it was a very enriching day, full of learning and reflection. One suggestion for future tours would be for the guide to clearly communicate the expected meeting time or return point at each stop. For instance, at the Apartheid Museum, this information wasn’t shared, and we got separated from the group. Unsure if we were late, we rushed through the museum only to find out later that everyone else was still behind us. In conclusion, this was much more than a sightseeing tour, it was an eye-opening experience that challenged our perceptions and left us with a deeper understanding of the country. We’re grateful for the opportunity and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a meaningful way to explore South Africa.

Great tour, complete and very interesting - Very interesting tour for the whole family, including younger boys. The guide, very nice and well prepared, took us to the most interesting places in the city, such as Constitution Hill, the Apartheid Museum and Soweto, where we also visited a local community in the township. If you have a day to spare, this is the ideal tour to discover Johannesburg!

Great Joburg & SA history overview in a day - We had a one-day stopover in Joburg and decided to take this tour based on the itinerary and past reviews. There were no other guests so it was like a private tour for us, with a flexible schedule! Our tour guide Mdu was very knowledgeable and courteous, providing insightful commentary on all the stops we made. The day's highlight included a visit to Soweto's tin house community and the most moving was certainly the Apartheid Museum where we had a good 2 hours. All in all, highly recommending this tour.

Important history lessons with a professional organization - This tour was a very educational experience. I appreciate learning about the history of Johannesburg and Soweto. If you are traveling to Johannesburg and are not familiar with the history of Apartheid, this is a must do experience. MoAfrika Tours is a professional organization.
