This experience was amazing. Our driver Neo was super knowledgeable and entertaining and an incredible driver. Having attractions with specialist guides along the way was also fantastic. The Soweto tour and visit to the kindergarten was a real eye-opener and it was incredible to be able to see part of this community first hand.
Very nice personal tour of Soweto

It was a very professional tour. Our guide lives in Soweto himself and gives unique insights into the township. We were driven around in a minibus and made a stop every 10, got out and was told something. He speaks perfect English and has answered all questions very well and partly personally.

Thabang provided a very interesting and informative day tour of Johannesburg/Soweto for my husband, son, and me this month. We enjoyed his spirited tour and appreciated learning so much from a local.
Soweto was awesome!

Me and my friends had a GREAT time on the tour with Thabang! Not only was he very friendly and knowledgeable but he went above and beyond to make sure we had a culturally immersive experience! He took us to visit his hometown of Soweto, to grab an authentic South African meal and made us laugh the whole time. I highly recommend going on this tour if you want to learn about the rich culture and history of Johannesburg!

I booked this tour to learn about the history of South Africa and visit the city of J’burg and Soweto. The guide Neo was very knowledgable and local to the area and so was able to provide a great depth of information. He was very friendly and made me feel at ease throughout the day

He's a nice local man, very knowledgeable. It was just 2 of us on our private tour. The sites were eye-opening, especially Mandela's prison and Soweto.

This tour was fantastic. Thabang was an incredible guide who showed us around Johannesburg and Soweto in a way we will never forget. We were really touched by his connection to the communities he showed us, which made the tour even more special for us. Thabang also made sure we always felt safe, and was very well informed about everything we saw. I cannot recommend this tour more.
For the real Johannesburg, don't miss this tour!

My wife and I did a private tour with Thabang. He was outstanding! We have done city tours all around the world, but this was the best and most educational. Typically, city tours show you the nice public parks, shopping areas, and government buildings (blah, blah, blah). Thabang showed us everything, the good and the bad. We now have a much better understanding of Johannesburg and Soweto, than we ever would have gotten otherwise. We both feel we really learned something.
