Tour of Soweto and...
Tour of Soweto and Apartheid Museum combined with the tour guide Lebo’s knowledge of the history of S. African democracy and current political environment was a perfect way to gain a good general understanding of the history of Apartheid in the short time we had in spend the short time in Johannesburg.

We had the absolute best experience touring Soweto and Johannesburg with Lebo! He went above and beyond to make sure we saw every spot we wanted to visit, while giving us the flexibility to decide what we wanted to do and how much time we wanted to spend at each location.
One of the highlights of our tour was how knowledgeable Lebo was. He gave us the most incredible history lessons and really brought South Africa’s history, culture, and the stories behind each place to life. We learned so much, and the experience was so much more meaningful because of him.
Beyond being an amazing tour guide, Lebo is genuinely one of the sweetest people we met during our trip. We got to know him on a personal level, shared plenty of laughs, and by the end of the day, he felt more like a friend than a tour guide. We were honestly sad to say goodbye!
If you’re visiting Johannesburg or Soweto, we cannot recommend Lebo enough. Do yourself a favor and book a tour with him. You won’t regret it!

Amazing Cultural Immersion!
This amazing cultural immersion starts with a warm musical greeting, followed by the presentation of your African name, welcoming you into the family! Everyone gets a chance to join in the fabulous, immersive, drumming experience, followed by an expert guided walk to each tribe's village introducing you to their language and customs. The dancing is phenomenal, followed by a delicious cultural feast, accompanied by authentic cultural instrumentation! The experience exceeded our expectations! Our friendly guide, Griffith, was very informative and made the entire experience easy from pickup to drop-off. We highly recommend it!

Must do! Themba was an amazing guide!
Informative, comprehensive day around Johannesburg. Our guide Themba was extremely knowledgeable. We were shown areas of the city we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The whole day was a really great experience and I would recommend this tour for everyone. Hopefully you are lucky enough to have Themba as your guide also!

Thabiso taught me alot about south Africa
Had a wonderful introduction to South Africa with an afternoon with Thabiso. I learned so much about history and life in Johannesburg. Thabiso is polite, friendly and a wealth of information. Punctual with the pickup. An absolute gentleman. Felt extremely safe and comfortable as a solo female. Thankyou Thabiso for a wonderful afternoon!!! Would highly recommend this gentleman and company.

Great way to see Jozi
Great way to see the city from a safe perch. I stayed at the Holiday Inn, so the first stop was directly below my window- super convenient! Don't miss the Soweto add-on tour. Chatting with our guides on this part was my favorite part of the whole tour. Also, consider bringing your own wired earphones for better sound and to reduce waste.

I’d highly recommend the caves. The museum was very interesting and I’m not typically one for museums. The cave tour was great and we had a wonderful guide that made it entertaining and fun. The Maropeng center was more of the same with more of an artistic interactive style.

Fantastic educational experience
“Don’t go to the townships, it’s dangerous, you’ll be ambushed,” that was what we heard when we left for South Africa. Yet the townships and certainly Soweto belong to the history of the country. We went on tour with Thabang and that was great. The day before we received a clear explanation about pick-up time. The day itself a clear Whatsappje. Thabang showed us Soweto as it is, without sugarcoating or asking for pity.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting South Africa! Our children are 10 and 12 and found it a super educational experience!
Great! Thabang and team, thank you very much for the experience. Too bad we didn't have more time.

GK was an outstanding guide on my tour of the Cradle of Humankind and Maropeng/Sterkfontein Caves. she was friendly, professional.
She made the experience engaging and enjoyable, ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Her passion for the area really brought the tour to life and made it even more memorable.

Amazing - absolutely book it!
My adventure began when Nicholas picked me up at my hotel. He was so kind and had a great sense of humors, putting me at easy right away as a solo traveler. When we got to the park he took us to the ticket booth and helped us get acclimated with directions.
The tour itself was unreal. Being so close to lions was an experience I never thought I’d have. Our guide Masan, was full of interesting facts, funny anecdotes and gave each of us the very best experience. He took pictures for me and helped create memories I’ll have for ever.
I loved this experience and wish everyone had the opportunity to go.

Soweto behind the scenes
Thomas was a wonderful guide and safe driver. He knew all about Soweto and African history. He knew all the best places for pictures and souvenirs. We loved meeting some of the locals. We walked through the streets of a tin house village and visited a local pre school. The people are very friendly.
