Best guide we came across. - Thabang is an excellent guide, very easy to talk to and never balks at an awkward question. He has an excellent historical knowledge of all things SA'n. This is a real warts and all tour and a real eye opener for non-SA folks bought up on a diet of curated news media of the eighties.

Soweto half day tour - Had a fantastic day out in Soweto and at the Apartheid museum with Thabang. He was fantastic with the kids and it was brilliant to get a local’s perspective. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Soweto and more-outstanding experience - This was a great and authentic tour due to the outstanding guide Thabang. Thabang aligned with me on expectations before the tour and then tailored it absolutely excellent to my expectations. We did the tourist stuff and then a deep dive into Soweto. When you really want to understand Soweto and more about Johannesburg do that tour with Thabang. I can only recommend the guide Thabang (who has Soweto roots) and a tour with him. He will make the tour an outstanding experience.

Amazing experience of the... - Amazing experience of the real Soweto. Looked after beautifully as we were taken out of our comfort zone in a beautiful, safe and secure way. So grateful for the experience. Humbled by the strength, hope, faith, resilience and joy of the community members we met. Thank you to our wonderful guide! The best!

Best Tour in Johannesburg!! - I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the rich history, current culture, and resilient community in South Africa. Thabang was our informative and knowledgeable tour guide who brought his own personal stories and first hand experiences of living in SOWETO to life. He was honest and open to all questions and we felt safe with his guidance the entire time. From the Mandela House to the Hector Pieterson Memorial, there's so much to learn to understand this complex community.
