Awesome, Educational Day - Clement was a wonderful guide, and the day was well-spent learning and seeing so much. This tour gives the opportunity to see the main highlights of Johannesburg and Soweto in a very safe, organized way. It was exactly what we wanted!’ The tour van was also comfortable and cool on a warm day. Our lunch stop in Soweto was pleasant with a nice buffet for a good price.

A good roundup of SA’s history - Great introduction to Johannesburg and the sites that were central to the eventful history of the city and of neighbouring Soweto.
The Apartheid museum was the highlight of the tour. But need more than two hours to take it all in.
Nathi was friendly and accommodating. A+

great tour! - Tour guide was probably one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I’ve ever had. He knew every thing about Johannesburg there was to know! Which made for a very knowledge heavy day but it was very nice considering I only was in the city for 2 days. I appreciated being able to explore soweto and the mandela house and the apartheid museum all in one day

Comprehensive and informative - The trip was very comprehensve and our guide was great! The restaurant was excellent, on the street where Mandella and Tutu both lived in Soweto. In fact, we decided to ask for our guide for a second tour to the Cultural Village the next day, which was also excellent.

Great Experience - Very good excursion with lots of history knowledge absorbed. Only negative- visual and sight lines from van made it difficult to see some sites as you traveled during the trip. Clement was great 👍🏾

Good - We had read about Mandela and were interested in visiting all the places that he had spent his life. We chose this because it was so well rated, but were disappointed that our guide often started before everyone had gathered, was a little hard to understand, and it felt rushed.
It also turned out to be longer than advertised because of all the pick ups and the distance between them. I think we were picked up at 8:30 and home at 7:00.
