This was a great tour. Lots of really interesting information. Mom and I enjoyed ourselves. Definitely a great experience...especially for older folks, for whom walking can be challenging. Tour guide was knowledgable and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend.

Great tour and tour guide

Khutso was our guide for the fascinating tour of Soweto and The Apartheid Museum. While parts are very sobering, there are also very inspiring elements. He was friendly and very informative. He was very gracious about answering all of our questions and sharing extra information. We highly recommend the tour.
