Tough But Worth It

We took this tour with Gabriel as our guide. It’s long and the subject matter is tough but it’s worth it. There is a lot to see and a lot of information presented. Lilliesleaf is incredible as is the drive through Soweto to visit the Mandela House. The experience in that part of Johannesburg is priceless. I would have appreciated more time at the Apartheid Museum and less time on Constituion Hill. Gabriel kept us well informed and made sure we were guided properly and safely all the time.

We had an incredible day, guided by Marvin. Our request for visiting Lillieslief was accomodated and a really valuable experience. It set the scene for the rest of the tour. This tour taught me so much; I grew up in SA in the 70s and, shamefully, knew nothing. Thank you Marvin for your kindness and information
Very interesting and insightful day tour
