Although we had bad luck with the weather , we had a very informative and interesting morning with Sean in Soweto and on Constitution hill. He was super flexible the. We needed to reschedule and also gave us a lot of options on the trip itself according to our interests. 👍🏻

Had a very enjoyable and informative walking tour of the Maboneng area. Sean was very knowledgeable and provided a variety of different stops. I leaned a lot about the area’s past and its present. A very relaxed, safe, and entertaining experience. Fully recommend it!

Excellent tour with Sean. Very knowledgeable guide who explained the background to significant sites in downtown Johannesburg. Great local food option at the end, the platter was enough for lunch and dinner!

Excellent morning with Sean! I got to visit places I wouldn’t have thought to go on my own, and with the Civil Rights Day holiday, we even stopped by some additional sites. It was the perfect balance of history and present-day context, with a great mix of guided explanations and time to explore on my own. Huge thanks to Sean for coming out just for me on a holiday weekend and extending the tour
Increable
