We had a terrific tour of the township and surroundings with Neo. Neo was very engaged with us and we felt that we learned a lot from the experience and a first hand telling of the history.. We were very glad we took the time.

Thaweng, the tour guide, is Soweto born and bred, hence he has the most amazing experiences and knowledge to share and show. He is super lovely and friendly and provides such a personal experience I wouldn't book anyone else! We were only 3 people on the tour, so got the most amazing tour ever. Other tour groups we saw had huge coaches full of people, this tour is nothing like that. We even got to get out of the car and walk through a portion of Soweto, something we never thought possible due to AUS media portrayal of the dangers of Soweto - nothing could be further from the truth and we are super thankful we did this tour to open our eyes to the reality. The level of poverty and the hardships endured by the township is something to see and feel, and it does make you sad/angry to think of all the battles these people endure every day in their own country, however it is something you need to experience in order to learn. We thought given the touristy nature of all the tours on offer it would be a waste of time/money, but this tour exceeded our expectations at every turn. Cannot recommend enough!

We just completed the tour with Tabang as our guide. We had a great experience with him and learned so much. Highly recommended this tour and definitely ask for Tabang. He is from Soweto and has so much to share as his personal experience.

Fantastic overview of Soweto and surrounds , as well as lots of info about Johannesburg . Felt safe and well looked after in a not so safe city.

We wanted to really get to know Soweto, not only the really touristic spots but the real neighborhood and the way of living. Tabhang was a really good guide and he gave us great insights around the township, its history and the different ways of living within it. Thank you so much for letting us have that experience.

Itumeleng, thank you for providing us with such a meaningful and powerful tour of Soweto. Your depth of knowledge and the kindness you brought to the experience made it both thoughtful and truly unforgettable. It was an experience of great depth—one we are still reflecting on because of its magnitude and the profound impact history has had on the people of South Africa.
