Really great and Informative Tour! - Kaizer was very informative and explained more about his hometown. I joined a group from the hostel and had a nice vegetarian lunch. The full-day tour included a trip to the Apartheid Museum. Go and see Soweto!

Soweto Whole Day Tour - Kaiser was a wonderful guide and this tour is well worth it in order to understand the history of the town. Recommend if you have a day spare and would like to learn about Joburg!

Misleading information - Hi, we did the Soweto full day tour (650 rand). The ad says that tour includes visits to Mandela house, Desmond Tutu house and Pieterson museum. We specifically asked if the tickets were included and the answer was yes. Well, in fact the tour passes by these 3 places, not really visiting them. We complained to the guide and it seems that it is not the first time somebody complained but the info and the ad has not changed... There are other agencies offering a more personalized experience for the same price. Really disappointed as we felt really cheated.
