Soweto…….History and Current Life….seeing is believing. - Really enjoyed all the information shared by our guide. Not a canned lecture at all. He asked as many questions of us as we asked of him. Kept us engaged as a group all day!!

Great Experience - Intimate tour of the settlements provided close up insights of how the locals lived. It was an eye opening experience setting right unfounded ideas. Had a great impromptu meal and informative lessons on great persons in SAs history. Guide Sello was well equipped and went all out to make the experience memorable

Great immersion into Soweto! - The whole tour was great!! A very enriching experience filled with interesting facts about townships in general as well as very meaningful and moving topics related to Soweto and the role it played in fighting apartheid. Byron was a great guide, he knew a lot of things and was very very kind and informative! I loved everything.

Great cultural, historial tour of Joberg and SA - We visited from the US in February and only had time for a half day tour but are so glad we made the time to book this. Prince was a fantastic tour guide and was very knowledgeable about Joberg while showing us all of the sights and teaching us tons of local info about town and history. You can't visit SA without learning about the trials the country has gone through to get to where it is, and this was a very eye opening, educational, heart warming way to talk to some locals, learn about the history, and get a feel for SA's culture and history. Our 10 and 14 year old passed out candy (brought from home) to the kids in the township and the local kids couldn't get enough! The Hector Pieterson museum is not to be missed. Definitely a well rounded, enjoyable tour. Not to be missed!

Excellent trip with a wonderful host - It was a great tour with an excellent host, Prince. A kind and charming person who told a lot and who listened to our questions well. Soweto and the Hector Pieterson museum were impressive as well as the Mandela house. I can highly recommend the tour. Clear instructions and very safe
