Half-day tour Soweto

Khutso picked me up from Pretoria for a half-day tour of Soweto. Along the way, he has already told me a lot about Soweto, history and South Africa and explained striking points on the route. In Soweto I experienced the stark gap between rich and poor, learned a lot about the apartheid regime, visited the Hector Pieterson Museum and Mandela House. Khutso explained everything to me patiently, kindly and humorously. It was a very nice interesting excursion. With Khutso (means peace) I would like to start a tour again at any time.
Excellent tour and guide to give you the backstory of South Africa and Johannesburg

We took this wonderful and super interesting day tour with Khutso in his car. Right from the get go we felt safe and very welcomed by Khutso. The tour was well planned and super well executed, while Khutso still was very accommodating towards our preferences. Khutso knows a lot of people in Soweto and in general around all of the tour sites. He was able to answer any question we could come up with. All in all I highly recommend to take the Soweto tour with Khutso.
