    I had the absolute pleasure of completing this tour with my tour guide Desmond. Not only did he explain the importance of SA history, he lived it! I’ve done many day tours in my time but having this one that spread over 2 days was just the right time to see everything without feeling rushed. The price was also reasonable as I wasn’t hit with a solo supplement for this private tour. Thank you Desmond for showing me your Johannesburg! 🙏🏼

    We took the tour to Soweto the home ground of Nelson Mandela. Sandile, our guide was very knowledgeable about the tour and was so kind. He went above and beyond the call of a tour, but he extended his services to accommodate our other requests. We then went to the museum and again his services to us was A1! He picked us up from the hotel and kindly guided us to our tour destinations! Sandile is an excellent guide! Thank you for your help in navigating in AFRICA! IT WAS LIFE CHANGING FOR ME!
