5.00Khutsu was our travel guide, and he picked us up right on time. He was lots of fun, very knowledgeable about his hometown of Johannesburg, and knew the history of South Africa. We felt like we had a wonderful overview of Soweto. The stops were all just the right amount of time. We really loved visiting the preschool. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Also, we felt like the tour was definitely worth the money.
