What an insightful way to learn what it means to be Sowetan! We took this tour with Mxolisi after touring SA for 2 weeks and visited other major sights (Cape Town; Joburg CBD; Pretoria; Durban; Drakensberg; Clarens) and glad we got to have an immersive journey into SA’s complex history and its vibrant present. This bike tour offered a glimpse into a community that was the heart of the anti-apartheid struggle and is now a thriving urban center. We encountered warm and welcoming locals as we cycled through the township, and my boyfriend and I felt very safe the entire time. We also got to chat with locals from different parts of Soweto over a beer or two. The bike tour also covered important landmarks as well as the outside of Mandela House museum. Modest cycling experience is required. Mxolisi was great at managing the traffic to ensure we are always safe on the road. He was also very knowledgeable, open minded, and friendly, which made the tour itself felt like you are cycling through his neighborhood with a friend.

Having visited over 100 countries and countless walking tours, I’d rank our walking tour with Sanet as one of the top experiences. Aside from being flexible (we had to switch our schedule the day before), she was friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky to have a “private” tour with her, and the experience felt more like a local friend showing you around as opposed to her being our tour guide. We walked away with just enough history to appreciate the past, but also got to see interesting buildings and architecture of the CBD. She will also adjust her itinerary to suit your interests. Don’t miss out!

This was one of the best walking tours that we have been on after having visited 100+ countries. Mike was super funny and shared all the relevant information one needs to know about Copenhagen while keeping it humorous. Despite this being our 2nd time visiting Copenhagen, we walked away with new information and knowledge about the city, the country, and the Scandinavia region as a whole.

Armando was funny and provided a good balance of history and side jokes regarding the various sites in Florence. It a super hot day, but he was conscious of keeping us in the shade as much as possible. Having been to Florence before, it was nice learning something new and interesting.

A must-do! We only had 24 hours in Belgrade and managed to see some parts of the city that were off the beaten path and yet entertaining! We also learned a lot from Olivera regarding the current political landscape in Serbia. Book this tour to complement other historical walking tours.
