It was amazing, sibongile was an ANGEL, she showed us the town and was super friendly, nice, professional and clever, we had such a great time and i recommend 100% doing the tour with her :-)

Amazing tour !

Published on Feb, 2024

We had a wonderful guide who made us live like a local citizen for a couple of hours. We were able to walk thru the city of Soweto discovers things that are not " on the books " what an amazing experience. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique tour guide and unique way of knowing more about Soweto story !

Amazing guide!

Sibu is just the best. He knows everything about Soweto and also everybody there! Our walk together was pretty cool and the whole tour is totally worth it. I highly recommend this tour for everyone interested by Soweto's History - and if you can choose Sibu, even better!

Great tour and great guide.

Sibu is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable about Soweto and the broad history of South Africa. The tour is very interesting and never felt scared with him. He’s kind of the man about town. Fair warning… it’s a lot of walking (5k/3mi thereabouts) in the hot sun. Bring sunscreen and just bear the walk in mind if there’s any kind of mobility issues.

Great walking tour
