Sunny was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable about Soweto as he was from there. We visited the different areas of Soweto and visited a day care, it a nice to interact with the children. We also visited Mandela House and had a chance to visit the various vendors to grab souvenirs. Overall it was a great tour.
