“Great way to see Soweto and get learn some history and current state of South Africa, apartheid, the culture, the tribes, food, music, etc! I had a long layover in OR Tambo airport and this was a perfect way to get out and see part of the city, get some (local) lunch, and talk to some of the people of Soweto before an 11 hour flight! I’m a female traveling alone and felt very safe. They have a fun, knowledgeable and streetsmart group of people running their tours! They also take book donations if you are able to bring any for the local kids.”
