We enjoyed the private...

Tom_G, Oct 2024
We enjoyed the private tour very much. Great Guide! Next time we are in Jo-burg we will certainly contact him again

Fantastic tour

Guy_L, Aug 2024
From the first moment Banele picked us up he was a fountain of knowledge and expertise. We had a personalised tour of the key apartheid areas and it was fascinating. The vehicle was great and it was just the right balance of stops. We had a fascinating visit in Soweto including a trip through an illegal settlement. Banele was polite efficient and knowledgeable. It was a perfect tour.

Necessary day trip for appreciating South Africa!

Tsholo was an excellent guide. In addition to seeing the museum and the Soweto sites, he helped us understand from his personal experiences the continued impact of apartheid on South Africa and the challenges for reconciliation. This tour is necessary to fully understand South Africa.
