5.00We did Soweto and what an amazing tour! Mo told us so much and was a great tour guide. If you get him you will b very glad! He shared stories about Soweto I am sure you will not hear from every guide. Kiptown, Nelson Mandelas home, Desmond Tutu’s home and learning about Hector Peterson were amazing. Highly recommend this tour and especially with Mo!

5.00Grateful thanks for the following: Prompt and good communication and whatsapp updates on plan. Punctual guide, Banele, in clean and comfortable vehicle, collection from hotel. Banele was enthusiastic, positive and knowledgable. Learnt a LOT more than expected over and above the Apartheid museum info explained. We are South African and we LOVED learning from Banele. Good and safe driving. Always felt safe incl Nomzamo area in Soweto. Every part of our day was smooth and informative. TIME WELL SPENT. And considering the museum entrance fees being included, as well as the trasnportation - good value. THANK YOU.
Big up to our guide Mo ... unforgetable moment

5.00We spend nearly one full day with our guide Mo and the driver Andrew. Mo is passionate and knows his subject...first thing is that he was on time to pick us up at the hotel which is rare and a first plus point..He then ensured that the whole family was comfortable and this our comfort was one of his priority during the journey.. We visited the Apartheid museum, Nelson Mandela's house, Soweto ( showing the good, the bad and the ugly), Hector Pieterson Memorial and all throughout Mo was giving the facts , taking us back to these moment as if we were living these moments....We were in Cape Town and was closing our trip in Joburg..The Soweto was our last activity in South Africa and I must admit i was hesitating to close with a visit to Soweto..There was the risk that the kids dont like it and we end up on a bad note....NO REGRETS at all !!!! The kids really cherished that historic/memorial part of our holidays....we learn so much from MO... I highly recommend Stephenson Adventures
We enjoyed the private...

5.00We had an exceptionally lovely time with our guide Vugo. We could listen to him all day in his most pleasant and enlightening way of speaking. We learned so much about the struggles of the people of the land. We are inspired by how the people have come through the hardships through firm convictions. We experienced the grace that Vugo carries with him at all times and are grateful we have him as our guide today. Highly recommended tour!
Fantastic tour from Banele

5.00Excellent tour with Banele - which had to vary from the published route as the apartheid museum was closed that day. Nevertheless we had a fantastic time from a highly efficient knowledgeable and polite guide in a great air conditioned vehicle. Highly recommended
