What a friendly staff, from the admitnistrator to the driver who picked me up, to the guide who gave me an exciting tour of Soweto. We had such a great time. My money was well spent

It was an amazing tour in Soweto with a local guide. The meeting point was easily reachable with an Uber, afterwards we walked around for 3 hours. There were lots of interesting information and also a museum was included. We finished with a local beer together with the guide which added a personal note to the tour. We recommend!

This was a bike tour around Soweto, with visits to the Mandela House and the devastating Hector Pieterson museum included. We biked around 10 miles/ 16km and our guide Phiwe have us an excellent introduction to the history and culture of Soweto. If you're in Joburg for more than a night, I HIGHLY recommend this - only the apartheid museum has been a more impactful experience to me as a foreign visitor to Joburg. Street art, culture, history and a bit of exercise - what more could you ask?

With escooters,our guides Phiwe and Mike could take us to interesting streets that buses cant access, we could get to places wiickly and it was really fun. I am 62 yet the escooter was easy to use. Our guides were from Soweto and knew many of the folks around Soweto, they showed us what a wonderful community vibe there is in Soweto. The cost was very reasonable, includes entry into Hector Pietersen museum and Nelson Mandela house. Phiwe and Mike were extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much from our visit, it was both fun and somewhat sobering when you learn the history of Soweto, so much connected to the history of South Africa and the Apartheid regieme. Despite the history and hardship, the community of Soweto continues to demonstrate its strength and character. We would certainly take this tour again, it was truly one of the highlights of our visit to South Africa.
