Amazing tours, amazing lady - Within 10 minutes of meeting Gilda it felt like I had known here forever, in the best way. What an amazing lady and what brilliant tours she offers. I have known her for nearly 3 years now and I’m claiming her as a friend. Whilst I met her for Jo’burg based tours I am super excited to be going on tour with her in other parts of South Africa on what looks to be an amazing tour that she has put together for me. I have no doubt it will be superb. You will be so pleased you chose Eenblond Tours, I promise you.

Fantastic immersive day - My friend and I had a truly incredible day on this tour. We were both really looking forward to learning more about Soweto and its history, and this experience really shows you a lot of sides of the community. Because we spent the full day rather than many of the half day tours that are offered, we were able to go to many spots with no tourists and interact with the locals. I also appreciate. how much this tour strives to give back to the community and support the local economy. I highly recommend this experience!

This tour was in my... - This tour was in my opinion one of the best and most humbling tours I have ever done. Our guide, Gabriel, was himself born and raised in Soweto and knew where to take us for the best overview of everything. The visit to the boys in one of the poorest parts of Soweto was both enlightening and overpowering. The outlook on life by these boys who have absolutely nothing, was a mark of their determination to succeed in whatever they do, and with the help of Gilda they are managing to achieve.

Best experience of Soweto - This was the best experience I have had in the entire trip to South Africa. It challenged my pre conceived notions of Soweto- it’s a lively, safe, vibrant community. Gabriel was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide.

Great Experience! - What a day with our guide Gabriel, just the three of us! Moving, thought provoking, educational, and enjoyable. Wonderful to know I selected a tour company that focuses on working with young boys in Kliptown, helping them develop a business to help themselves.

Thought provoking and inspirational - Gabriel was an excellent guide, providing cultural insights and historical information. The day was thought provoking and inspirational. Would highly recommend to others who appreciate the intimacy of a small group experience. “Sawu bona” - a Zulu greeting!

Not a tour, a Soweto immersion - Gilda and Gabriel took us on an amazing, unrepeatable day around Soweto. The exceptional relationships that Gilda has cultivated give her guests an utterly unique, real, vibrant experience. From Vilakazi street to the local family in their yard to the exceptional boys Kliptown, Gilda will open you to an unforgettable experience. If you want to really immerse yourself in Soweto don’t miss this exceptional opportunity.

Enlightening experience - The entire tour was very informative. We loved the authenticity. Meeting the families and children was enlightening. Someone actually pleasantly invited us into her home. Highly recommended if you want to experience the true Soweto.
