Great tour with Katlego

Katlego was a great guide, so knowledgeable and so careful! We had a great tour with him today in Johannesburg and learned a lot about the country's history and culture. The trip went very well so it's a great tour for one day.

A great introduction to the city and its history

This whole day tour of Jo’burg was amazing and super-informative. Our guide brought the city and its history to life. We were really touched by our visits to Constitution Hill and Soweto. The 3ish hours after lunch at the Apartheid Museum were very well spent (and enough for a single visit), but we could have spent a lot more time here. We completely recommend this trip.

Great tour!

Great tour! My guide, Katlejo, was amazing: professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the city. I discovered many different sides of the Johannesburg and its surroundings, while hearing lots of interesting stories and anecdotes about local history and everyday life. Katlejo was also able to adapt the tour to my interests, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Must experience while in Joburg!

Great informative day in Johannesburg! KG was an amazing tour guide with a great deal of interesting and detailed information. I would recommend the private tour as you can tour at your own pace. KG was on time, flexible, personable and just overall allowed us to have a great day. The history of Joburg is interesting, sad and quite heavy but it must be something you experience first hand while visiting South Africa.

Amazing visit to Soweto and beyond

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!
