Our tour guide was phenomenal! We had him for both the Innercity Walking Tour and Soweto Township Tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, organized, and friendly!

Il tour è stato un ottimo modo per conoscere la storia tormentata di Soweto, attraverso il mercato locale, le Orlando Towers, l'esterno della casa di Mandela, l'Hector Pieterson Memorial. La guida ci ha fornito tante informazioni e ha spiegato il tutto con molto interesse. Abbiamo anche visitato il Kliptown Youth Project, dove ci hanno spiegato come funzionano i loro programmi educativi per dare un futuro migliore ai ragazzi. In tardo pomeriggio siamo andati a visitare l'emozionante Apartheid Museum. Un splendida escursione ben organizzata dal Curiocity Hostel: da non perdere per chi è a Johannesburg!

Hi, we did the Soweto full day tour (650 rand). The ad says that tour includes visits to Mandela house, Desmond Tutu house and Pieterson museum. We specifically asked if the tickets were included and the answer was yes. Well, in fact the tour passes by these 3 places, not really visiting them. We complained to the guide and it seems that it is not the first time somebody complained but the info and the ad has not changed...
There are other agencies offering a more personalized experience for the same price.
Really disappointed as we felt really cheated.
