Excellent experience - Excellent! Our visit to Constitution Hill (in lieu of Apartheid Museum) was informative and well paced. Our travels through Soweto including Nelson Mandela house were personal and highly educational. We had lunch in Soweto and ate local foods. Nathi was an excellent guide.

Soweto Tour - The history lesson was so informative and the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. This was an awesome tour. Very disappointed we wasn’t informed the Apartheid museum was closed on Monday and Tuesday we should have been informed.

Great tour but expect to be out all day - First let me say that I would have given this tour 5 stars (certainly our guide Natti is a 5) but this was described as a half day tour and it end up being all day. The Apartheid museum was closed (its always closed on Monday & Tuesday). We went to Constitution Hill which was enlightening (and scary to think what they did) and to the Hector Pieterson museum in Soweto. We also stopped for lunch in Soweto for some local cuisine. This is definitely an enlightening and worthwhile tour.
