Well put together tour. - Excellent tour of Soweto and requisite tour stops. We weren't rushed at all during the entire day allowing time to take in what we wanted to see. Very worthwhile and economical considering other options.

Great tour - Excellent tour. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. I do think it was a little pricey compared to how reasonably priced everything else in SA is. Plus you tip.

Jo'berg Essential - The Apartheid Museum was brilliantly composed and absolutely fascinating (while also quite disturbing) and the tour of Soweto including Nelson Mandela's home, a great and interesting experience. Our guide, Nathi, was fantastic as were our fellow tourers...thanks Nathi! Love the tour company name btw Philippians 4 Four : )

An excellent informative trip - Little did l realise how moving the trip turned out . Going to Soweto snd reading the story as to the uprising in 1976 and the consequence horror that bestowed the children is heart wrenching . But then to continue on to Nelson Mandelas home and jail one becomes incensed at the word apartheid . You have to give credit now to S.Africa as to how far they’ve come , since those dark days .

African history that is a must see - This tour was great So much history and information. Our guide Bobo was soooo good. We loved Bobo. It was a bit of a drive getting there but you would of never known it because Bobo gave us great information about places we were passing and the history. Loved the Mandela House and The Apartheid Museum gave insights and history that I had never known. It was very emotional, inspiring and uplifting. This tour is definitely a must if you're in South Africa. Also ask for Bobo he is a true delight
