Big up to our guide Mo ... unforgetable moment - We spend nearly one full day with our guide Mo and the driver Andrew. Mo is passionate and knows his subject...first thing is that he was on time to pick us up at the hotel which is rare and a first plus point..He then ensured that the whole family was comfortable and this our comfort was one of his priority during the journey.. We visited the Apartheid museum, Nelson Mandela's house, Soweto ( showing the good, the bad and the ugly), Hector Pieterson Memorial and all throughout Mo was giving the facts , taking us back to these moment as if we were living these moments....We were in Cape Town and was closing our trip in Joburg..The Soweto was our last activity in South Africa and I must admit i was hesitating to close with a visit to Soweto..There was the risk that the kids dont like it and we end up on a bad note....NO REGRETS at all !!!! The kids really cherished that historic/memorial part of our holidays....we learn so much from MO... I highly recommend Stephenson Adventures

JoBurg Tour - Toured JoBurg with Stephenson having Tsholo as our guide. It was an excellent experience all around. Timely, knowledgeable, funny and very professional. Outstanding vehicle and a great driver. Saw all the hot spots and he was on top of everything If you are going there, use Stephenson and request Tsholo!

A trip to Soweto - We had an exceptionally lovely time with our guide Vugo. We could listen to him all day in his most pleasant and enlightening way of speaking. We learned so much about the struggles of the people of the land. We are inspired by how the people have come through the hardships through firm convictions. We experienced the grace that Vugo carries with him at all times and are grateful we have him as our guide today. Highly recommended tour!

Fantastic tour from Banele - Excellent tour with Banele - which had to vary from the published route as the apartheid museum was closed that day. Nevertheless we had a fantastic time from a highly efficient knowledgeable and polite guide in a great air conditioned vehicle. Highly recommended

Fantastic tour - From the first moment Banele picked us up he was a fountain of knowledge and expertise. We had a personalised tour of the key apartheid areas and it was fascinating. The vehicle was great and it was just the right balance of stops. We had a fascinating visit in Soweto including a trip through an illegal settlement. Banele was polite efficient and knowledgeable. It was a perfect tour.

Necessary day trip for appreciating South Africa! - Tsholo was an excellent guide. In addition to seeing the museum and the Soweto sites, he helped us understand from his personal experiences the continued impact of apartheid on South Africa and the challenges for reconciliation. This tour is necessary to fully understand South Africa.

One of the most beautiful and interesting days of our trip to South Africa - It was one of the most interesting and intense moments of our trip to South Africa. Tsholo and Banele, our guides, were an added value to the day; attentive, kind and professional guys, who showed us their land with enthusiasm and passion. We listened to their words and thanks to them we understood a little more the tragic history of apartheid and visited the HectorPieterson memorial. It is not a tour to be taken and experienced lightly, but it is essential to understand and reflect. With our guides we were lucky enough to be able to visit part of the Township on foot and interact with the people who live there. It was an afternoon full of emotions and we are so happy we chose Stephenson Adventures!
