Traveler reviews
Soweto Experience
Could not have asked for a more polite, knowledgeable, friendly and patient Guide in Pollen. He made me feel very comfortable and safe, gave great insight into history and present day life in Soweto. Cannot recommend this Tour more highly and must likely will be a highlight of my Sth African experiences. No sanitised experiences of everyday life and interaction with locals a positive, touching experience.. Thank you Pollen. Was very impressed with you and cleanliness/comfort of your vehicle. Your Company is very lucky to have you in their employ.
Awesome efforts from Kasson and Captain Fantastic Thomas
Awesome amount of knowledge made interesting and understandable for the whole group! Humour plus information made for an excellent day.
