Traveler reviews
Interesting, insividual, informative, unforgettable
We siebt a really interesting day with our perfect guide Nicholu. He showed us the Apartheid museum and we had enough time to visit it on our own. Then, we went to the stade and the Orlando Towers. We were in the part of the Soweto-Township, where the poorest people live. A lady showed us how she lives there and we visited a Kindergarden too. If you want to help the Community, buy something in their shop, they make everything themselves and the money is for the hole Community. We went to a restaurant with a african buffet with a delicious choice of meat vegetables and dessert. Vegeterian and Vegan people will tove the vegetables. After lunch, Nicholu showed us the houses of Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela and in the end, we went to the Hector Pieterson Memorial Center. Nicholus was a perfect guide who gave us many Information. We highly recommand this tour and this guide.
A day in Soweto
Tinyiko was a great guide. He took me to off the normal sights to be able to see the real Soweto. I highly recommend him and this tour.
Historical Places
We had a great time and learned a lot about SOWETO.
Recommended if you have a short time in J’burg and want to see as much as possible
Our guide - Marc - was really great. We felt safe and informed.
The best tour guide ever!
Lobo was an extraordinary tour guide and driver. Lebo was a "walking encyclopedia" of South African history! We were able to talk with him freely, he encouraged us to ask questions, and we could tell he was a man of integrity and took his responsibilities seriously. Lebo had a kind personality and was quick with a good laugh. We know that we were very fortunate to have Lebo as our guide and driver.
