Lucky, Lucky, Lucky! - Lucky is an exceptional tour guide! We toured the Lesedi Cultural Village, Soweto, the Apartheid Museum, and the Hector Pieterson Museum with Lucky and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Lucky is professional, punctual, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to spend time with. Lucky's understanding of South Africa's history, culture, and everyday life added real insight to each stop, and he was always willing to adjust plans as needed. Everything ran smoothly, his communication was clear, and we all felt safe and well taken care of. What really stood out was how personal the experience felt - nothing was scripted or rushed. If you are looking for a tour guide in South Africa, Lucky is the guide you need and want!

We are Lucky to have had Lucky as our tour guide. - We were Lucky to have Lucky as our tour guide Our driver and tour guide was Lucky Mtsweni. He was amazing! He knew his history his knowledge of what happened and how things occurred was in-depth and not surface level. He was able to answer all of our questions with confidence.As it pertains to his character - Lucky is a kind man that had a deep rooted love for his South Africans and it’s evident in his story telling. I’ll be back to visit and will make sure that Lucky is the man picking me and my family up to tour other parts of South Africa.

Terrific tour of Soweto - Lucky was awesome. He gave an incredibly informative tour of Soweto highlighted by two museum visits, Mandela's house, different Soweto neighborhoods, and a tasty lunch. He picked us up at our hotel and got us safely back to the airport all on time. You would be lucky to have Lucky as your guide.
