Our guide was knowledgeable and we enjoyed all the areas and museums we visited. We were picked up at the airport and had an afternoon tour then dropped off at our hotel. Luggage was safe and a great way to visit and learn of customs and sites when we only had a day in Johannesburg.

We did the night tour of Soweto starting before sunset and moving on to a few shebeens (places serving alcohol), including dinner and 4 drinks. I'm sure they are all great but our guide, Thsolo, was top notch. He shared history and answered all our questions effortlessly. We interrupted him a lot to ask more questions during the drive and it didn’t phase him at all. We shared about ourselves and compared cultural norms and traditions. It felt like visiting a friend and being shown around by them. The museums are closed at night, but we still stopped by and looked in Mandela House and drove past Archbishop Tutu's house and felt with got the history story and the current vibe of part of Soweto. We got everything we expected and more. We only had one free night in Johannesburg and I am so happy that we chose this tour over other options.

We had a great full-day tour with Khutso (a.k.a. Goodwill) in Soweto. We had time to visit the Apartheid Museum and the Hector Peterson Museum, and Khutso was generous with answering all our questions. Also saw the home of Desmond Tutu, and ate lunch at a local Soweto eatery with local people in the township. We especially appreciated seeing the wide range of living conditions, and the highlight was visiting a school where we interacted with the children (we had brought some simple toys with us to give them).
