Def recommend the Soweto tour!

We had an amazing time! On the bus you get plenty of info on many parts of the city and its history. Definitely recommend adding the Soweto tour as well! We were lucky to have Kagiso as our guide, who gave us a great insight into life in the townships and most importantly spread nothing but positivity and good vibes. 10/10!

Gonna miss Jozi!

One of my key highlights of being in Jozi was this tour. Truly an amazing experience, our guides Kea and Tshepang were so insightful, knowledgeable and passionate about the area — really great people. Soweto is beautiful and Vikalazi was truly wonderful.

Worthwhile experience even if yoh live in Johannesburg.

Thw experience was overall amazing. Well organized. Mujumutzi (spelling?) And Themba were professional, friendly and well informed. I can truly recommend it. Bring snacks and warm clothes if winter.
