Must experience - It was wonderful. Find out if they are serving lunch and or dinner. The food is amazing. Everyone was welcoming. The knowledge sharing is exactly what I was looking for. It is a cultural experience for the books.

Lesedi Cultural Village and cradle of humankind - The tour was amazing. Village Lesedi is a lot of fun,a culture show and typical dance. The cradle of humanity is very   cool, a beautiful place, with a fun guide. Super attentive and patient driver helped me with all doubts and difficulties, as my English is not good. Thank you for making my trip a pleasant one.

Not Worthwhile Unless Done as a Private Tour - We had a great Virgio private tour of Soweto yesterday — with an excellent guide — so decided to book this tour through them for today. A big mistake! This tour was private only in the sense of the long drive to and from our hotel to Lesedi, and even this was compromised by having another person along for the ride (his presence was never explained and he didn’t say more than two words the whole trip). Our driver/guide was almost as bad — no personality whatsoever and limited command of understandable English. We had been told that we would have a private guide take us through the various Lesedi villages. Instead, we were put in a group of 40 other people. With this many people, you could hardly hear, hardly see, and wasted much time on everything having to be repeated over and over again. The villages themselves were only mildly interesting and the format was way too touristy and hokey. Our driver/guide wandered around with us but never said a word — not a word! We got so turned off by the crunch of people in our group that we aborted the visit after seeing only 2 of the 5 villages. Don’t waste your money on this tour!
