Soweto in 4 hours - We had the pleasure of being guided through Soweto by Mo, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Mo’s deep knowledge of the area’s history, culture, and people added a powerful dimension to every place we visited. He shared stories with passion and authenticity, making complex and emotional topics accessible and engaging. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his respect for the community and its legacy was clear in every word and gesture. Whether we were visiting historical sites, learning about local life, or simply walking the streets, Mo made sure we felt welcome and informed.

Fantastic experience - My husband and I did the Soweto tour in late April. Our guide Tsholo was really knowledgeable and friendly! We came to Johannesburg on a day when the Apartheid Museum was unfortunately closed, but Tsholo was able to show us many other sides of Soweto, its culture and its history that we wouldn't have been able to see on our own. We had an awesome time and would definitely book this again.

Great tour - The group tour turned into a private one, since I was the only one doing the half day tour. I really enjoyed all the information and history. Soweto is much more divers than I expected. I also loved the short walk, a little insight in everyday live in that part of Soweto.

Soweto tour with local guide - Interesting tour of Soweto including stops at FNB stadium, Vilakazi Street, Mandela's House, Hector Peterson memorial, and Regina Mundi church. Our guide Mo was very friendly and knowledgeable. At the end of the tour he dropped us at the Apartheid Museum which is also well worth a visit.

Meaningful and humbling experience - Our tour guide, Mo, told personal stories of his life in Soweto which made the tour very engaging. My family and I learned so much and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip to SA.
