Thabang aligned with me on expectations before the tour and then tailored it absolutely excellent to my expectations. We did the tourist stuff and then a deep dive into Soweto. When you really want to understand Soweto and more about Johannesburg do that tour with Thabang. I can only recommend the guide Thabang (who has Soweto roots) and a tour with him. He will make the tour an outstanding experience.” - Reviewed at 2024-10-05
