Funny, charming and insightful
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of taking a half-day tour of Soweto, and I can confidently say that our tour guide made the experience unforgettable. From the moment we met him at the starting point, it was clear that we were in for something special.

Our guide, Thomas, has deep knowledge of the area’s history, culture, and vibrant spirit shone through in every story he shared. He began the tour with a warm introduction, instantly making everyone feel at ease. What struck me the most was his ability to combine humor and heartfelt narratives, providing us with insightful context about Soweto’s past while keeping the mood light and engaging.

As we explored the streets, Thomas took us to key historical sites, including the famous Vilakazi Street, which is uniquely significant for being the only street in the world where two Nobel Prize winners, Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, once lived. His storytelling transformed what could have been a simple drive into an immersive journey through time.

Thomas also introduced us to some local artisans and businesses, giving us the opportunity to support the community directly.

What I appreciated most was Thomas focus on ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. He was attentive to our interests and adjusted the pace of the tour based on our dynamics. Whether it was taking extra time at a particularly moving memorial or sharing more about the development in Soweto, he was dedicated to making the tour enriching for everyone.

As our half-day adventure came to a close, we felt a genuine sense of connection to Soweto and a deeper understanding of its significance in South Africa’s history. Thomas enthusiasm and warmth left an indelible mark on us all.

If you’re considering a visit to Soweto, I highly recommend going with Thomas as your guide. His expert insights, engaging storytelling, and heartfelt connection to the community will not only make your trip memorable but will also inspire you to learn more about this remarkable place long after you’ve left. Thank you, Thomas, for an incredible experience!

5/5

We really enjoyed the tour! It was very educational and eye opening to visit the museums, and especially the brief walkthrough in Suweto.

Sello was great too, he was very friendly and engaging. We felt very welcomed by him too, and enjoyed his jokes and commentary throughout the tour. Very happy with his service!

Very interesting tour to Soweto!
4/5

I had a very interesting morning with Sello, bringing us to Soweto. Sello explained a lot and answered to all of our questions. During the morning we have been given an impression of the history and also current life in the area of Soweto. Definitely recommend to all guests, with just a few hours time, but want to spend them well :)

Thomas was extremely knowledgeable and considerate tour guide.
5/5

Thomas was extremely knowledgeable and considerate throughout our Apartheid Museum tour. He patiently observed us take all information in by ourselves and guided as we wished at critical points and interests in the massive museum. He picked us up on time, communicated promptly, and also gave information on the entire city as he drove us to and back from the museum.

Thomas was very informative & enthusiastic; he made the visit much better
5/5

The tour made many of the museum’s rules and exhibits clear and by giving the highlights we were able to see the entire museum. The History of Apartheid is a large museum and it is stuffed with information and history; it would take days to go through it without Thomas. He also pointed out historically significant landmarks in Johannesburg.
