⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Very educational experience and the guide was very friendly. Apartheid Museum was reserved for two hours (self-guided) so I recommend having a visit on a different day to get the full experience/understanding.

A great tour - Our tour guide Griffith was excellent. A very informative tour around Soweto including a tour around the tin shacks by a resident. A humbling experience. We saw Mandela’s house, constitution hill instead of the Apartheid museum (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). Highly recommend this safe and informative tour.

Must-see - Reservation made 12 hours before the activity. In French please! Super responsiveness of the organization We had a great time with Gabin. Punctual. Safe. Perfect French. Interesting. Nice guy. Sometimes a little repetitive. The tour is a must to fully understand the apartheit. We missed a little more time and autonomy at the museum.
