Thabang led us on an enlightening tour of the Soweto townships, capped with a visit to the Apartheid Museum. Thabang is an engaging guide, speaking candidly about living in Soweto. Both Soweto and the Museum can be confronting (and rightly so), Thabang provided context and reassurance. If you want to learn about modern Johannesburg, we recommend this tour.
Truly worth it!

We had an amazing tour of Johannesburg with Thabang! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, making every site we visited fascinating. What stood out most for us was how accommodating he was to us as a couple traveling with a baby—ensuring we could enjoy the tour at a relaxed pace while still covering so much. If you're looking for a guide who is both insightful and deeply informed about Johannesburg and its rich heritage, we highly recommend Thabang!
Great tour of Johannesburg

A very insightful and honest tour with Thabang. He was easy to understand and one of the few who dares to take clients to the central business district.
Very informative tour

Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We went through some rough parts of town but he made us feel as safe as possible. Unfortunately Constitution Hill was closed to tourists, that day so we were unable to view it. We would take another tour and highly recommend Tsalanang Tours.
Great private tour experience

We booked a private tour with Thabang for the apartheid museum as we had a late flight coming in. He did a great job with transport and guiding us around the museum. Thanks!
Our excellent tour guide made all the difference

Thabang Molefe was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. There wasn’t a question we asked about contemporary life in and history of Johannesburg that he couldn’t answer with depth and context. He was warm, witty and his obvious love for the area shone through. He made us feel very comfortable and cared for. If I ever visit Johannesburg again, I wouldn’t hesitate to take a tour with Thabang again.
