Brilliant experience with Tour Guide Marvin

We had a fantastic afternoon with our tour guide Marvin on a private afternoon tour of Soweto. We learned so much from Marvin along the way, who is clearly extremely knowledgeable about South African history. I loved the Soweto experience, visiting Mandela’s house and Marvin’s hospitality made the whole experience so much better. We must also credit the company for fitting us in at extremely short notice, we booked outside of their normal hours since we only had 1 afternoon in Joburg and they did everything to accommodate us

Marvin was a wonderful guide very friendly and knowledgeable. He really wanted me to understand the recent history of South Africa, which is exactly what I wanted too.
