Amazing experience
We had Delone as a tour guy and as he had promised, it was a memorable tour. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. His knowledge about not only Soweto, bu also the surroundings on our way to Soweto was fantastic. We booked a half day tour and went on a Sunday.

Great guide + deep cultural experience
Delone was an amazing guide. He was extremely knowledgeable as he is from Soweto and answered all our questions. We learnt a lot that day and truly immersed ourselves in South African culture by dining at the best local grill restaurant at Orlando towers! Thanks for a great day Delone! I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn more about Soweto, Apartheid and South African history.

December Holiday
My friends and I used KND for our trip to Pilansberg and Sun City and we also did the Soweto tour and it was amazing. The service was great and we were very impressed and pleased at the vast knowledge our tour guide. He took us to all the historical sites in Soweto and the surrounding areas and at each stop he would explain the significance there of and he could easily answer all our questions.
I will definitely recommend KND to family and friends and I cannot wait to have my family from PE here to experience this. KND will definitely be our choice of transportation and we wouldn’t want anyone else taking us on a tour but them.
Thanks KND 😁
Operator response

Professional and warm
Enjoyed the service and time with KND Shuttle and it's Team. Professional, punctual, knowledgeable and considerate are just a few words that I can use to describe their passionate dedication to the service they delivered. Myself and a group of friends went to Pilanesburg, Sun City and toured Soweto using KND and we felt comfortable and relaxed knowing that we were in good hands. Would use them again for future trips.

It was indeed our pleasure to be of service to you and your group. Great convo's and laughter. Hope to see you soon in the near future.
Thank you

half a day soweto tour
Delone took us on a tour through soweto. He is very knwoledgeable and made us feel safe the entire journey even when we decided to walk in the middle of one of the poorest parts of soweto. He also took us to visit one of the houses so we could have a clear view on what it is like to live in soweto. He covered all the key spots of this township, including the places of the 1976 killings and mandelas old house.
definitely recommended.

Enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide
We used knd for our airport transfers and for a soweto tour.
The tour was fab, and our guide was amazingly knowledgeable about all areas of south africa history (and many other things too).
All airport transfers were reliable and on time in good quality clean vehicles.
Highly reccomend!
