So glad we booked this tour at the last minute - such a great experience. Our guide, Thabiso, was very knowledgeable on the history of Soweto & Sth Africa and told the stories with such passion.

Fantastic option for those short on time!

Thabiso is wonderful! He was our tour guide and he gave us a rich historical overview of Johannesburg and its beautiful culture. This is a great tour for those coming into the country and have a layover and you want to experience Johannesburg. Thabiso is the best tour guide, he was so professional, kind, knowledgeable, and that really impacted how much we valued this tour. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great tour company and a great tour guide!

‘Guided tour’ should mean guided

The museum itself was interesting, confirming and quite moving. Unfortunately our ‘guide’ thought it was a good idea to leave us to it, because it was ‘self explanatory’ leaving us confused about where to go next and walking out of the museum trying to find him when he missed the meeting time. When I complained, he led us back in and did guide us the rest of the way around.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.Our tours are guided although the apartheid museum is self guided to give clients time to go through everything at their own pace.

Great way to spend a free afternoon in Johannesburg after our flight landed. Our guide, Thabiso, was friendly and informative. The Apartheid Museum was even better than expected. Feel like we saw a lot in just 4 hours!

Operator response

Thank you for taking time to review our tour, we really appreciate it. We looking forward to seeing you again.

What a wonderful way to...

What a wonderful way to conclude our time here in Johannesburg. Tobisu — I am sure I am spelling that incorrectly — whose name beautifully means “happiness” in his native language, was truly a ten out of ten. He has absolutely found his calling in life and should continue giving tours for many years to come. He possesses a rare gift — the ability to captivate any audience. He could speak to the most distinguished individuals and leave them in complete awe. His presence carries a warmth and energy that you feel immediately upon meeting him. The history and knowledge he shared about Africa, apartheid, Johannesburg, Soweto, and other significant historical moments unfolded before us like a motion picture. He did not simply present facts; he told a story that allowed us to see, feel, and understand the past in a deeply meaningful way. No material possession — no clothes, money, or food — could compare to the wealth of knowledge and perspective we gained on this tour. It was priceless. We hope to stay in touch with him for a lifetime and feel truly honored to have met him. If you are booking this tour, be sure to ask for him. He is simply the best.

Operator response

His name is Thabiso Thank you for sharing your amazing experience, we really appreciate your wonderful feedback. Thank you.

Excellent 1/2 day tour

Excellent half-day tour. Our guide KG was so knowledgeable and personable. The personalized experience allowed us to ask questions and get a real sense of the community and the people. The tour highlighted a variety of stops and interesting sights. Well worth the time and cost.
