We organised a guide through our hotel and had a fantastic day being shown the real Soweto. There is so much more to the area than what the negative press and media often display. The warmth of their smiles and the way the locals welcomed us as we walked around will be a lasting memory we'll cherish. Allow two hours, or more, to soak in the stories on offer in the Apartheid Museum. John Lennon said it best, "Imagine".

Enjoyed a thrilling day tour of soweto with my guide Rasta. What a gem of a guy. He was brought up here and so had first hand knowledge and experience to share with me. Yes we went to the normal touristy places like Mandela house and the apartheid museum, but what I enjoyed the most was that Rasta took me into the heart of soweto. To the places tourists don’t go. I believe this is tbd best way to get a feel for a place. I felt safe and welcomed at each location. Thankyou so much Rasta for going out of your way to make it a special day for me.
