This was a great tour and very educational. We experienced some emotional moments, as we had the opportunity to see the apartheid museum and walking in the townships. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain different things.

A Must-Do Tour When in Joburg
JAMES

Excellent tour! Thabang is an awesome tour guide. Had lots of interesting information to share and did a great job of engaging everyone in our "family" (tour group). Enjoyed both the Hector Pieterson and Apartheid Museums. Plenty of time to visit both. The visit to Soweto was eye-opening and it was good to know that a portion of our tour cost goes to helping those in the poorer sections of Soweto. Lunch was tasty. All in all a well-planned tour that was very enjoyable! Highly recommend!

One of the best guided tours I have been on. Our guide Nick was simply so knowledgeable and wanted us to have the very best. Lunch was simply the cherry on top. If you only have one day to explore joburg this is def the tour to book! Amazing!

A nice tour overall

The tour was good although I would not say that the tour guides were 'knowledgeable' since they showed just general knowledge of the places. Some of their understanding of the history was not fully correct. The lunch provided us (not really buffet) was fine, but its amount was perhaps not enough for most people. We had a vegan in the tour and she basically only got a plate of salad for her lunch... You also had to pay your own drinks, which were actually cheap, something like 17 South African dollars for a coke (about 1 US dollar or so). Overall, I would still recommend it, though.

I booked the tour the last minute (like 4 hours before midnight of the departure date), but the MoAfrika Tours still made their best to arrange the hotel pickup. The tour was perfect and very knowledgeable. Everything went well as planned but slightly fast paced- I wished there was more time. The driver as well as the tour guide was always enthusiastic and answered all the questions the guests had. I had a very good time and I think it is worthy to buy this product.

Soweto Tour with Beau-Beau
mereditthm
, Dec 2018
A brilliant guide, with so much information to share and delivered in a friendly yet knowledgeable manner. The walkabout into a shanty village in Soweto was eye-opening and whilst it was sad to see how some people are forced to live, it was necessary for me & daughter to see this side of life. The Briai was yummy at lunchtime. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour, and I hope you get Beau-Beau - he is a star. Thank you Beau-Beau. Meredith
