The tour was great - I learned a lot and enjoyed being able to walk through Soweto and travel through this space the way most people still do. Our guide, Themba, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and the topic. I strongly recommend him as a guide.
So glad we did this tour. Our guide, Themba, was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. He was open to answer all of our questions and didn’t push anything on the group. Highly recommend. Also for anyone concerned about seeing the informal settlements or voyeurism or being intrusive, know that it is not part of the tour. Instead you would be bringing business into the neighborhood and learning about Soweto history which is a positive.
