Excellent guide. Deep historical knowledge. Mandela, Gandhi, Soweto tour, authentic lunch. Highly recommended! - Excellent guide with outstanding historical knowledge. We followed the key steps of Nelson Mandela and Gandhi, visited important landmarks, and discovered Soweto, including the towers and a beautiful panoramic view. He also took us to a very authentic local place in Soweto for lunch.

In 2023 we went on a tour... - In 2023 we went on a tour with this awesome older guide from Soweto. The cool thing was he really knew the area, not just info from the internet or a script. He told us about the colored townships and how the goats in Orlando just wander around and find their way home at night. He told us about Nelson Mandalas last home and about the grandkids were living in the home in 2023. But the guide in 2026 was different he had none of the knowledge our former guide had because he wasn't from Soweto which made a difference. An example what the transportation poles near the Archbishop's home meant, nor did he mention Winnie Mandela, even though she h a house there. He took us to vendors we didn't want to see, and instead of the restaurant by Bishop house, we ended up at a place inside a bungee jumping spot with no prices or menu. Our mistake was letting him order takeout and distracting us with the bungee jumpers while the food was supposedly being made. So, I ended up paying for this weird, gelatinous mass of what we call white corn grits, strips of tough salty beef, undercooked chicken wings not tender, but one really good sausage link. The sides were cold slaw drowning in mayo and some unrecognizable tomato sauce bean mash. We paid $60 total for our meal, which also included his, and we hadn't planned on that. So, seriously, never let a guide take you to that place or pay for a meal with no prices or menu. It was our fault for not checking. We tossed the food and ended up with tuna sandwiches from Woolsworth. Total cost of entire trip about $265.00
