The guide failed to turn up at the specific time of my booking confirmation and on top of that the the meeting point which happened to be rented accommodation had no clue that they were being used as a meeting point. Being in a country which isn't regarded as the safest and to be advised to be very vigilant of your surroundings we didn't feel safe to continue as we couldn't even get through to the guide straight away and when we finally did, they couldn't give us straight answers. Do the city bus tour is my advice

Thabang our driver/tour guide was amazing!! We were 3 ladies on our own going on a private tour into Soweto and we felt 100% safe! Thabang gave us a lot of information and insight into living in Soweto etc. we would highly recommend this tour and Thabang!!!

What an AMAZING tour this was. You can not come to Johannesburg and not take the Soweto Tour. I took the half day tour and I wished I would have booked the full day. If you go in this tour ask for Thabang Molefe. Thanang was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make sure that he shared all information with us. He even did extra. Honestly this was the highlight of my South African vacation. Thank you

The tour itself was exceptional. Thabang, our tour guide was first class. His knowledge and passion with regards to Soweto past, present and hopefully the future shown through without any political bias. We would encourage all "tourists" to see all that Soweto encompasses, including "the good, the bad and the ugly".
