The best tour of my trip! - Thank you, Thabang for sharing your life experiences, your knowledge and stories with us. Thabang is great company and it we felt lucky to share the morning with him and understand the real history of Soweto from a local. This is a small group tour so you have the opportunity to ask a lot of questions and not be part of a big bus tour. We had a great time. I joined a few tours on my trip around South Africa and can say this one was the best of the trip. I'll be recommending Thabang to anyone who is travelling to Johannesburg. We also had the chance to briefly meet Neo....thanks for picking us up so we could join the group!

A highlight our trip to SA! Do it! - A tour of Soweto with Thabang of Tsalanang Tours was an absolute highlight of our first trip (family of four, two older teenagers) to South Africa, and is a must when visiting Johannesburg! In his comfortable bus, he took us round several different areas of the city. We saw all the different nuances and complexities and he gave us his honest and personal view on living there. Soweto is not just what you see on the television. It is a place where there is a great sense of community and where all social classes live. We also heard some very humorous anecdotes and thoroughly enjoyed the time there and our contact with our knowledgeable guide. We felt completely safe and would certainly do the tour again!

Great and informative visit to Soweto - We had a terrific tour of the township and surroundings with Neo. Neo was very engaged with us and we felt that we learned a lot from the experience and a first hand telling of the history.. We were very glad we took the time.

Book this tour over all the others - personal, informative, safe and easy - Thaweng, the tour guide, is Soweto born and bred, hence he has the most amazing experiences and knowledge to share and show. He is super lovely and friendly and provides such a personal experience I wouldn't book anyone else! We were only 3 people on the tour, so got the most amazing tour ever. Other tour groups we saw had huge coaches full of people, this tour is nothing like that. We even got to get out of the car and walk through a portion of Soweto, something we never thought possible due to AUS media portrayal of the dangers of Soweto - nothing could be further from the truth and we are super thankful we did this tour to open our eyes to the reality. The level of poverty and the hardships endured by the township is something to see and feel, and it does make you sad/angry to think of all the battles these people endure every day in their own country, however it is something you need to experience in order to learn. We thought given the touristy nature of all the tours on offer it would be a waste of time/money, but this tour exceeded our expectations at every turn. Cannot recommend enough!

Super fun - The Tour was very informative and super fun! Thabang our guide was a responsible driver, fun and very knowledgeable about the area and culture of Soweto. Will definitely recommend him!

Highly recommended and ask Tabang as guide - We just completed the tour with Tabang as our guide. We had a great experience with him and learned so much. Highly recommended this tour and definitely ask for Tabang. He is from Soweto and has so much to share as his personal experience.
