An excellent trip, rich in culture and history. It’s a great way to see these beautiful cities if you’re short on time. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing details that only a local could provide. It was well worth it.
Our guide Marvin was amazing! Really friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our trip the best. What a great day it was because of it!
It was a great tour. The guide was very informative. The places covered were perfect to give an idea of the events that helped shape South africe
A great tour that will gives a balanced vision of history with plenty of time to takes pictures and learn a lot. I was guided by Mike who is very knowledgeable and friendly. He dropped me right at the airport at the end of the day which made my last day in South Africa easy to manage.
Fun and interesting tour with Byron as guide. Byron knew a lot to tell and brought us safely to all locations. A lot of information about Mandela, apartheid and Soweto. Highly recommended.
This tour was hands down one of the best decisions I made in South Africa. It was just me and my guide, Marvin, which made the experience personal, intimate, and exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to truly understand the history and culture of South Africa, especially the real story of Apartheid, and this tour exceeded my expectations. Marvin was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all my questions, and made me feel safe the entire time as a solo traveler. I loved being able to move at my own pace without a big group, and I even got to try a local beer with deep cultural roots that was delicious. If you want a meaningful, immersive experience rather than something rushed and touristy, ask for Marvin. Once you book there are no additional fees. We started at 8am and ended at 5pm but I had the option to end any time I wanted to. The tour was so great I wanted to keep going. I didn’t just take a tour—I gained perspective and made a friend. I’ll definitely be back from Brooklyn, NY.
I love my experience, Capetown is a nice city! Marvin, our guide it’s the best guide i meet in my life, i love it. I will back here!
Thoroughly enjoyable trip. Very pleased with the value and attention we received. It seems like a lot to do in one day, but it was very manageable. Great to get out of the hotel on the first day and not succumb to jet lag. Great introduction to the two cities.
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Marvin my guide was very knowledgeable about the history of each place we visited and was quite eager and proud to share that history. I only wished I could have spent more time at the Apartheid Museum, but I do understand it was a lot to pack into one day.
Thank for joining our history filled tour and we are glad that you enjoyed the whole tour.
