An amazing insight into the township way of life - We used Sivewe Tours for our trip and our guide Don was great! We felt safe at all times and enjoyed listening to his stories as we wandered around (maybe a little less time at the beginning in the museum would have been appreciated). We had a wonderful insight into the way of life, found everyone so welcoming and learnt so much. Highly recommended.

Life changing! - Don was life changing! He really not only showed us around, but he made us feel the heart of the community. It was so inspiring, insightful and information in a way that you can only get from a local. The best thing we did in cape town and such an important part of the culture! Thank you so much Don!

Amazing Experience - We went on a tour of Langa Township with Nelisa (Nela) and can't recommend it enough! His knowledge came straight from the heart as this is his home town and we learned and saw so much. It is definitely worth taking the time to do this and then to go back home and share your knowledge. Laura & Chris

Walking with Nela through Langa - We had a wonderful walking tour with our guide Nelisa "Nela" Tema who gave us an excellent insight into the creation, development and present situation of the township. We got the impression that this township were a very well managed place. People were all friendly and Nela knew many of them we passed.

Experiencing Langa - I'm proudly South African. We visited the Mother City and was astounded by our tour guide Stuart who made this trip memorable. Discovering the heart of Cape town and it's friendly locals, we were welcomed by heart felt, warm locals who made us feel desirable. Stuart has so much information, knowledge and is a very good story teller. He answered all questions necessary to the tour and even managed to show us the church people go to on Sunday. We experienced the vibrant Langa and it's community where the Xhosa kids play soccer. There are also community projects.

Walking in the township - We had a beautiful walking tour of Langa with our guide Stuart, very nice and fully committed. During the tour he gave us very interesting insights into the story of Langa and racial segregation. We even had the chance to walk through the shacks and understand local life in the township. We ate local food, went to church and met people who stays there for years. We felt safe as everyone was so kind & has warm hearts. Great experience. Highly recommended!
