Genuinely unforgettable experience
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Itumelenge is a fantastic host - he is extremely knowledgeable and really helps you understand the culture of Soweto. If you are in Johannesburg and have half a day to spare you simply must book this experience. Once in a lifetime - I will never forget it. Thank you Itumelenge

Exploring Joburg and Soweto with Itumeleng
I had an amazing half day tour with my guide Itumeleng who went to a lot of trouble to sort out my tour from Australia. Great correspondence allowed us to have a brilliant and detailed exposure to Joburg and Soweto. I felt comfortable to ask any question and he's knowledge was both historical, personal and emotional. He was very tolerant of my vast questions and compensated for my cultural ignorance so I gained a deeper understanding of this lovely land. Very kind and inclusive. Thank you Itumeleng.

Great overview.
Great tour. We only had the one day in Johannesburg and this covered so much. Lebo was great and encouraged our questions even when about sensitive topics. He had some much knowledge and information to share. Happy to recommend this tour.

Flexible and very worthwhile
The tour was personal to me and the tour guide was flexible with the itinerary to accommodate my requests.
My flight was delayed and the tour guide was happy to wait for me and start 30 minutes later than planned. Initial communication via WhatsApp made it all very much easier from when I landed.
I asked if we could make a stop at an African Craft Market and so we did. We skipped the lunch stop at my request and went straight through the various sites.
An enjoyable and informative day with the included visit to three museums.
A very worthwhile tour. I would certainly use them again.
