Great tour is Soweto, absolutely recommend - Even though I traveled with a group, I went to this tour solo and I’m happy that I did. It was very interesting to come see this historic area and the guide was great - very friendly and informative. I really recommend to anyone who wants to see a glimpse of local life beyond the gated communities and suburbs while feeling totally safe!

A great walking tour with Nonhlanhla - We had the luck of made the walking tour with Nonhlanhla, guiding us through different places around Soweto, including Kliptown where the amazing SHALK community really does a great work, the Hector Pieterson Museum, the Orlando Towers and the iconic Vilakazi Street. Nonhlanhla was super kind and gave important explanations. Highly recommended!

Lovely local organisation - We had a great bicycle tour through Soweto with Nkuli's organisation. Me and my wife were hosted by 2 lovely local guides who were able to tell us a lot about the local areas. We started in Kliptown where the amazing SHALK community center shows what Nkuli does for his fellow Kliotowners. Amazing. Contact him directly in Whatsapp.

Very well organized visit. - A perfect visit. We were picked up at 9.30am for a bike tour of Soweto. As requested, we had a visit in French. The guide and translator were clear in the explanations. Soweto requires a guide, the subject is so vast. Our guide living in Soweto allowed us to get to know life in this Township. Very good organization.
