Soweto Experience - Could not have asked for a more polite, knowledgeable, friendly and patient Guide in Pollen. He made me feel very comfortable and safe, gave great insight into history and present day life in Soweto. Cannot recommend this Tour more highly and must likely will be a highlight of my Sth African experiences. No sanitised experiences of everyday life and interaction with locals a positive, touching experience.. Thank you Pollen. Was very impressed with you and cleanliness/comfort of your vehicle. Your Company is very lucky to have you in their employ.

Exceptional Service from Sibu — Patient, Professional, and Knowledgeable - We had an outstanding experience with Sibu as our driver from Johannesburg Airport to Shepherd’s Tree Game Lodge. After our flight from Accra to Johannesburg, one of our bags didn’t arrive, and Sibu was incredibly patient, flexible, and went out of his way to assist us while we worked through the situation. The drive itself was excellent. Sibu shared a wealth of knowledge about South African history and offered great recommendations on places to visit while in South Africa, which made the 2.5-hour trip both informative and enjoyable. He also thoughtfully stopped halfway so we could stretch and use the facilities—small touch, big difference after a long travel day. The van was newer, very clean, and clearly well maintained. If you’re looking for a dependable, professional driver who truly cares about your experience, we highly recommend Sibu.

The tour was informative, eye opener and educational. I wish to do it more often. - I enjoyed the tour a lot. Tour guard namely Tinyiko was also sharing clear history information that made sense, educational and informative. Our history is sad but rich at the same time which needs to be thought in our school and not only on tours.
