Great tour - The group tour turned into a private one, since I was the only one doing the half day tour. I really enjoyed all the information and history. Soweto is much more divers than I expected. I also loved the short walk, a little insight in everyday live in that part of Soweto.

Soweto tour with local guide - Interesting tour of Soweto including stops at FNB stadium, Vilakazi Street, Mandela's House, Hector Peterson memorial, and Regina Mundi church. Our guide Mo was very friendly and knowledgeable. At the end of the tour he dropped us at the Apartheid Museum which is also well worth a visit.

Meaningful and humbling experience - Our tour guide, Mo, told personal stories of his life in Soweto which made the tour very engaging. My family and I learned so much and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip to SA.

Eye-Opening Soweto Tour with Banela - We recently had the incredible opportunity to explore Soweto with Banela as our guide, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Being from Soweto himself, Banela brought a deeply personal and insightful perspective to the experience, sharing stories and details that made the township come alive for us. The tour was eye-opening, offering a rich understanding of Soweto’s history, culture, and vibrant community spirit. Banela’s passion and knowledge were unmatched, and he answered all our questions with so much depth and enthusiasm. We left the tour feeling informed, inspired, and with a newfound appreciation for the resilience and vibrancy of Soweto. Whether you’re visiting Johannesburg for the first time or have lived nearby for years, this tour is an absolute must. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to learn and connect on a deeper level!
