Kaiser has a detailed knowledge of Johannesburg and Soweto, and is also a fun and entertaining guide - Our guide for this tour was Kaiser. He’s a lovely man - kind, fun, and very knowledgeable. He told us all about the sights we were seeing in Johannesburg and Soweto, of course, but he also told us about himself, his life, and the lives of the variety of peoples who live in this area. We gained a real appreciation for this part of the world from Kaiser.
