Impressive - The day with Mo as a guide was informative and impressive. All important sights are covered. He spoke with great passion about the history of South Africa in a way that made it clear to everyone. We have put a lot into it. She also makes sure that you feel comfortable and have fun during the tour, even if you see and hear intense things. Not unimportant; Mo is also a good driver.

Great tour/great guide - We did a full day Johannesburg, Soweto and Apartheid tour. Our guide was Monwabisi (Mo). This was a fantastic tour that covered several areas of the Jo’Burg region. Although we could have spent more time at the museum and the prison, the pacing was excellent and we did not feel rushed. Mo was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about historical events. He had lots of information and was patient in answering our questions.

Great tour and fantastic guide John! - I attended a half day tour at the Apartheid museum through Stephenson Adventures. The trip was very well organised and communication via WhatsApp was extremely efficient. The guide John was fantastic, he was extremely knowledgeable and walked me through the entire museum, explaining each and every exhibition in great detail. He was friendly and approachable, making the whole experience very enjoyable. This was a great tour for me as a solo tourist, I felt safe and comfortable throughout. Equally would be great for couples and groups too. Cannot recommend enough!

Soweto Tour - to be there, to experience with my own eyes - an experience I do not want to miss. - We booked the night before at short notice through booking.com and were picked up in the morning punctually at 8 am at the hotel near airport. Colin did the tour just for both of us. He drove us through Johannesburg and told us a lot of information about history, apartheid and life in Soweto and Johannesburg and always answered our questions. The touching highlight is the short walk through the tin smelter settlement. This experience is valuable and I do not want to miss it.
