This tour was fantastic. Thabang was an incredible guide who showed us around Johannesburg and Soweto in a way we will never forget. We were really touched by his connection to the communities he showed us, which made the tour even more special for us. Thabang also made sure we always felt safe, and was very well informed about everything we saw. I cannot recommend this tour more.

My wife and I did a private tour with Thabang. He was outstanding! We have done city tours all around the world, but this was the best and most educational. Typically, city tours show you the nice public parks, shopping areas, and government buildings (blah, blah, blah). Thabang showed us everything, the good and the bad. We now have a much better understanding of Johannesburg and Soweto, than we ever would have gotten otherwise. We both feel we really learned something.

We had a great tour with Thabang. He was knowledgeable and told us personal stories from his own life to explain the people and way of life in Johannesburg and Soweto. He showed us sides of Johannesburg and Soweto that not many visitors get to see, and I felt that our safety was his top priority. I would recommend a tour with Thabang to anyone in Johannesburg for a day.

What an absolute privilege to have the heart of Thabang poured into us! His knowledge was incredible, his passion for his country immense. With humour, sensitivity, honesty, and pride we were so blessed to discover some of the real Soweto and Johannesburg. Well recommended, and thank you! Graham & Julie

A truly memorable day with Thabang. A lifetime resident of Soweto, he provided a local’s perspective of Joburg and Soweto. He was kind, punctual and I felt completely safe. Ask if the Apartheid museum is open on the day you are touringand he can arrange to include that in the tour. It is extraordinary. Plan to have extra rand with you to gift to some of the volunteers in Soweto and the Mandela House. This day was truly memorable.
