I would do it all again with Shawn and team! - Shawn and team were the best. They were friendly, ensured I felt safe, gave me the right information, tried to ensure my experience fit what I was looking for as a person and even went out of their way and also ensured that it was all curated with the best price possible even if it meant a lower profit to themselves. I really had a fabulous experience of visiting Soweto, Joburg CBD where I got some history of the art scene and the magnificent Mariam Makeba grafitti and a visit to the Mandela House. We had a local lunch together in Soweto while indulging in cultural conversation. Highly recommend.
