Highly recommend

Khatso was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My favourite part was the tour of the informal settlement, the kids at the daycare were lovely.

An excellent tour of Johannesburg

Excellent tour of the city and its main points of interest, including the Apartheid Museum and the one dedicated to the Soweto uprising. The food at the restaurant in Soweto was much appreciated. Our driver was great and was also a passionate and capable guide. I recommend this tour!
