This was an excellent and eye opening tour. Mo our guide was wonderful (and Bryon too) and gave us lots of information about the city, townships, history etc, lots of information to take in. He answered all our questions openly and honestly. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Such an insightful day tour. Themba was a fantastic, intelligent, knowledgeable guide - and a fine young man. Highly recommend this tour and Themba as your guide.

Thabiso was our guide and was wonderful. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Just a wealth of information about this area and apartheid. Added bonus was a walking tour of the Soweto slums and an African meal

Hi Melanie thank you for the wonderful review, we really appreciate it.
I had a brilliant time exploring Johannesburg on this tour. Themba was an amazing guide and had an incredible depth of knowledge about the city that really brought it to life. It was so well balanced between the vibrant shops and galleries of Maboneng, the weighted history at the apartheid museum and the warmth of community in wonderful Soweto. Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu 🇿🇦 I couldn’t recommend it more!
Thank you for sharing your amazing review and thank you for booking with us.
This tour was amazing. We experienced many important parts of Johannesburg and Soweto, including Hector Pieterson Square, the dancers, a home in the township, the iconic Soweto Towers, and Constitutional Hill. Each stop gave us meaningful insight into the life, history, and culture of Johannesburg. There was so much to learn, understand, and appreciate. I would highly recommend this tour. Our driver, Thabiso, was amazing as well and helped make the experience even more enjoyable.

Hi Stuart thank you for sharing your amazing experience, we really appreciate it.
Our tour guide and driver was Lindela. He was beyond excellent telling showing us around the cities. Extremely knowledgeable of not only the history but what's going on in today's world too. From historical sites, stopping to shop at local vendors, and a delicious lunch we had a great day.
Thank you for the amazing review and thank you for booking with us, we really appreciate it.
I had an incredible tour of Johannesburg with my guide, Lindela, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His deep knowledge of the city’s history—past and present—brought Johannesburg to life in a meaningful and engaging way. Lindela shared powerful stories, important context, and thoughtful insights that helped me truly understand the complexities, resilience, and cultural richness of the city. What stood out most was his ability to connect historical moments to modern-day Johannesburg, making the experience both educational and personal. He was engaging, patient, and clearly passionate about sharing the story of his city. If you’re interested in the history of Johannesburg and want a tour that goes far beyond the surface, Lindela is an exceptional guide and a fantastic storyteller. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting the city.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience,we really appreciate it. We glad you enjoyed your tour.
