Our guide rocked - So I'm guessing there are a lot of companies offering soweto tours. But we struck it lucky when we got hold of south africa adventures and Rast-the best guide ever. We spent the whole day with him. He took us to the bin touristy places so we could get a real feel for the soul of soweto. If you want a really authentic experience then book with these guys
