Informative tour - It is s very informative tour. The guide was very friendly. We didn’t get to see the museum because of some issue with the museum. We changed our plans instead. He was very respectful of our needs We strongly recommend it.

Absolutely worth the money - A really recommended tour and a great guide. Absolutely professional and welcoming, he also showed the small details on the way to and in Soweto. You get to see touching and emotional places - and afterwards I understood even better the achievements of the South Africans in their victory over the Apartheid regime.

Late by 40 minutes, Safe trip to Soweto - Provider is not reliable, late by 40 minutes. Maybe all Johannesburg tour operators are late? Also had to pay local guides, was supposed to be included. Not the worst if you only have 4 hours. Either way it is Safe to use these people.

A bit boring - Our guide was great! We learned a lot with him. The museum is a bit boring , Mandela’s house was great and we didn’t even see the last museum because he said that everything we need to know was outside. A friend is his explained the exhibition outside.
