Great itinerary and I was able to see everything I wished to. Soweto was so interesting after all I had read. Lunch was excellent. The Apartheid Museum was a sobering experience….

This tour is jam packed and is your crash course for the city! Sello was very informative and helpful in answering our queries! Only feedback is that the tour pickup could have started earlier so that we had more time in the end for the apartheid museum. Felt we were rushing at the end

Marc our guide and driver was brilliant so knowledgeable and friendly it was a amazing day at what we learnt and saw. Marc would answer any questions we asked and we got a very good insight into past and present South Africa. If you book this tour and have Marc as you guide you are in for an outstanding day.
