Thank you to Jacob for a very memorable day out seeing Soweto and the apartheid museum. Also for taking us up the hill for a great view of Joburg. Communication was very good and clear. Would definitely recommend going on this day tour in their very comfortable Mercedes van. Would recommend that if possible more of the other side of Soweto is shown or talked about as well on the tour.
