Must experience while in Joburg!

Great informative day in Johannesburg! KG was an amazing tour guide with a great deal of interesting and detailed information. I would recommend the private tour as you can tour at your own pace. KG was on time, flexible, personable and just overall allowed us to have a great day. The history of Joburg is interesting, sad and quite heavy but it must be something you experience first hand while visiting South Africa.

Thabiso was our guide and was wonderful. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Just a wealth of information about this area and apartheid. Added bonus was a walking tour of the Soweto slums and an African meal

Amazing visit to Soweto and beyond

I had a brilliant time exploring Johannesburg on this tour. Themba was an amazing guide and had an incredible depth of knowledge about the city that really brought it to life. It was so well balanced between the vibrant shops and galleries of Maboneng, the weighted history at the apartheid museum and the warmth of community in wonderful Soweto. Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu 🇿🇦 I couldn’t recommend it more!

High recommend

This tour was amazing. We experienced many important parts of Johannesburg and Soweto, including Hector Pieterson Square, the dancers, a home in the township, the iconic Soweto Towers, and Constitutional Hill. Each stop gave us meaningful insight into the life, history, and culture of Johannesburg. There was so much to learn, understand, and appreciate. I would highly recommend this tour. Our driver, Thabiso, was amazing as well and helped make the experience even more enjoyable.
