It was a very great and recommended tour! You learn a lot about the history of South Africa and life in the townships. The township tour was very exciting and we felt safe with our local guide at all times. From my point of view a must have when visiting South Africa! For the most part, real life is not luxurious as in Cape Town and the rich areas, but takes place in the townships. Many thanks to Sam for important and interesting experience!

Highly recommend - we visited the township of Langa with our family (6) youngest was 10yrs old - our tour guides Sam & Leon were excellent - it was so educational and we could not believe the access into the township we got - so sad to see first hand the conditions & hardship the poor people live in & face everyday - as a family we are so happy we did it - once in a lifetime experience and it sure gives you a new perspective on life !

The township was a really good experience and we had very insightful guides that we able to talk us through the history and current issues.
We also booked Robben Island as part of this booking. Our township guides dropped us near the boat to Robben Island this tour was equally very insightful and glad that we did it.
