I had a wonderful day with my guide, John, and guide-in-training, Byron. John was a wealth of information and was ready to answer my many questions and engage in interesting conversation. If you want to really get a good historical and cultural understanding of Johannesburg and Soweto, this is the tour for you!
Our Soweto and Johannesburg full day tour with Tsholo was excellent. We saw many different areas and perspectives of this intriguing city and townships. Tsholo was a safe driver and very informative guide with good insight and sense of humour.
Great tour which covers a lot of sights over the day. Mo our tour guide had the right balance of knowledge and humour making sure the information was delivered in an interesting way.
A truly exceptional tour, with a truly exceptional guide. Mo couldn’t have been friendlier, or more informative. The tour covered the whole city, with a wonderful concentration on the old prison and Constitutional Court, but most importantly included a tour of Soweto, with Mandela House, the incredibly moving Museum of the Soweto Uprising, and most importantly an introduction to the great work being done by KYP. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
We spent a fantastic day exploring Johannesburg with Mo and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. From the moment we met, he was warm, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the city’s history and culture to life through stories and local insights. The highlights for us were visiting Soweto and the Hector Pieterson Museum. Mo provided thoughtful context that helped us understand South Africa’s history in a much deeper way. He struck the perfect balance between sharing important historical information and allowing us time to reflect and ask questions. Throughout the day, Mo was punctual, professional and genuinely passionate about his city. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he made every stop feel worthwhile. If you’re visiting Johannesburg and want a guide who is informative, personable and deeply knowledgeable, Mo is an excellent choice. He made our experience one we’ll remember for a long time.

We had a spare day in Johannesburg before our flight home, having just spent a few days at the Kruger National Park. We therefore decided to book a day tour of the city, having done similar tours in other cities. Our guide was excellent, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the city and its history, an engaging manner and a great sense of humour. He showed us the good and bad, explaining the problems faced by the city in a passionate but not an emotional way and we certainly learnt a lot. The tour left us with plenty to think about as well. A nice touch at the start and end was having separate transport arranged to pick us up from and drop us back at our hotel, at no extra cost.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear you chose to spend your final day in Johannesburg with us and had such a memorable experience. It’s fantastic that your guide’s knowledge, engaging personality, and balanced perspective gave you a deeper understanding of the city’s history and present-day challenges. We’re also pleased that the complimentary hotel transfers added extra convenience to your day. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to South Africa again in the future!
There was so much to learn on the private guided tour of Johannesburg and Soweto. I’ve only known Africa from TV and movies which shows either safari or areas of poverty. This taught me that there is so much more to S Africa. While the animals on safari are amazing, learning the countries history made it all the better. Our driver Mo was a wealth of knowledge. He grew up in Soweto and knows the area and its history. On could say he is very proud of his country and rightfully so. There is so much history here. Things I heard about in high school and college came to life. The guides for the places we stopped were just as knowledgeable about their area whether a museum or church. Some of the things we learned about were heart breaking. Others lifted us up. That’s what happens when you learn about other people’s history and culture. Mo took us to a restaurant in his home town of Soweto. We had the most amazing food. Probably because it was authentic African cooking, what we were hoping for the two weeks that we were here. After all, what’s the point of traveling if you’re going to eat food similar to what you eat at home. It was the best meal we had in our two week visit. This was a great way to end our holiday. It made me happy I messed up when I ordered the plane tickets and ended up staying an extra day beyond our safari holiday. This was our fourth country with a Viator trip and it won’t be our last. I highly recommend Viator when traveling and if you’re going to Johannesburg I highly recommend a day tour with Mo.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that your Johannesburg and Soweto tour was such a meaningful way to end your holiday. It’s especially rewarding to know that Mo’s passion, local knowledge, and personal connection to Soweto helped bring South Africa’s rich history and culture to life. We’re also pleased you enjoyed the authentic local cuisine and found it to be a highlight of your trip. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to South Africa for another unforgettable experience!
