Great and moving ! - Thanks to Yu Kiwa, very professional and balanced licenced tour guide, (and I know what I am speaking about, beeing a tour guide myself : ) I experienced my best birthday ever, in Soweto ! It was just great !! Especially, discovering the orphenage Little Rose Center, a Sun ray in the middle of slums and misery. An unforgettable moving moment. I warmly recommand him. Don't hesitate. Go for him. You will enjoy for sure at least as I did.

The best weekend in Johannesburg with the best tour guide! - We had a great time in Soweto! Kiwa, our private guide took us to the most important places, and provided meaningful explanations everywhere. The apartheid museum is incredible and Kiwa helped us understand South Africa’s reality during that tumultuous time. Visiting Mandela House was also an amazing experience, and after that he took us to have lunch to a great place with lots of typical food. We ended the day visiting an orphanage in Soweto, an experience we will never forget. We learned so much about Johannesburg through him. He also took us to the Elephant Sanctuary and the lions park. Definitely a trip we will cherish forever. Thank you so so much Kiwa, we loved meeting you and hope to be back to South Africa soon!

Yu are amazing ! - We spent 10 days in South Africa and Yu was our guide. He was amazing all along the trip, making us feel at home in this beautifull country. He speaks fluently french and english and knows very well the country. He was always trying to make our trip unforgetable. More than this, he is a guy with a great heart and when we left him at the airport at the end of our trip, it was like leaving a member of our family. We are still in contact with him to support him during this sanitary crisis. We will sure contact him if we plan another trip in South Africa. If you have the chance to travel with him, you will certainly experience a very special moment.

Unreliable - We booked a day tour of Joburg confirmed in advance by the operator. On the day the operator did not show up, respond to phone calls or emails. As a result we could not go on the tour and so had the last day of our holiday messed up. The only contact from the operator was a phone call 3 hours later asking me why I called them. Unreliable and not recommended.
