Eye-Opening Tour - Our tour (March 5th, 2024) was a great window into the lives of people in Johannesburg and Soweto…our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history, politics and living situations of the citizens here. The disparity between the very wealthy and those living in extreme poverty is shocking and eye opening. The politics and history of apartheid resulting in the Freedom Charter is both fascinating and appalling to those of us who live very privileged lives worlds away. Excellent experience!

Amazing South Africa - The entire tours of Johannesburg and Soweto were fabulous! Our guide James has an overwhelming amount of knowledge of the two. His personal knowledge of the people, culture, history and languages just blew us away. It also helped that he knew so many people along those routes. We really felt comfortable with him and he did everything that we asked of him. What a wonderful host. From the moment he saw us, we were like family. Very professional and conscientious about the work he does and he wants everyone to take a wealth of knowledge back to their homes. James, thanks for the experience of a life time. We will return to South Africa because of you.

Half Day Trip - We were on a half day tour of Johannesburg and Soweto. Our guide, James, was phenomenal and exceptionally knowledgeable. He didn’t just speak facts but he told stories and offered insight into the past as well as the present. Conversation with James was often light but also deep. At times we laughed and other times we were moved to tears. Anyone who has the opportunity to take this tour with James is extremely fortunate. He will forever be in our hearts.
