Free tours a Soweto

It was excellent! Nkuli was an amazing guide, very patient and very knowledgeable! Thank you very much, it couldn't be a better experience!

Had an amazing tour of Soweto with Thabiso. Knowledgeable and friendly. Made sure to introduce us to the community and show us the many places of this township. Also explored the history and relevance of each place. We got to ride in the local taxis between places for the full SA experience. Would highly recommend to anyone curious about this part of SA history. A trip to apartheid museum beforehand will also help in understanding a lot of the places you will encounter.

Great tour to get to know another part of town which everyone new should visit

We had the tour with Thambisho (Nkululeko's partern) and we can only say the best for him and the tour. The tour was very interesting with lots of good spots included and great story telling by our guide. Thambisho was super professional, pleasant and great at his work but most importantly he made us feel safe. Warm thank you😊 strongly recommended!

Soweto es enorme y lógicamente en un rato no se abarca todo pero creo que el tour da una perspectiva que está bien, pasando por diferentes zonas, mezclando presente e historia del lugar. Aunque la fama no es buena en ningún momento nos sentimos inseguros ni muchísimo menos. Es interesante hacerlo con una persona local como Thabiso, con conocimiento del barrio, orgullo de pertenencia y sentimiento de comunidad.

It really was a super exciting and impressive tour! Our guide met us directly at the hotel/large square and even sent a WhatsApp message beforehand so we could stay in touch with him. We felt more than just safe! He shared a lot about the people, the neighborhood, the city, and also the way of life. He knew many of the people we met, which gave us the chance to have conversations with them. There was also the option to try something, but unfortunately, in this case, the line was so long that we decided to continue the tour instead. For a short change of location, we used local transport, which cost 15 Rand per person. We can only recommend this 100%!

Thabiso, nuestro guía, nos proporcionó la información necesaria para comprender la realidad, tanto del pasado como del presente, de Soweto, del que visitamos tres barrios: Kliptow (clase baja), Pinville (clase media) y Orlando (clase media-alta). En Kliptown, visitamos una guardería que tiene como principales objetivos garantizar, a un colectivo de niños, una comida diaria y facilitarles un entorno que ayude a un crecimiento sano de éstos. No seáis tacaños en la propina para el guía y, sobre todo, en la donación a la guardería, o vuestro corazón os reprenderá hasta el fin de vuestros días :-)

Thabiso was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and friendly and really cares about the community.

Incan highly recommend the tour to anybody. It is definitely worth it!

Je recommande vivement ce tour guidé à Soweto. Nous avons pu, à l'aide de notre guide, découvrir la vie quotidienne des personnes vivant dans ce township, certaines actions locales pour apporter des services publiques aux habitants ainsi que d'en apprendre un peu plus sur l'histoire de ce quartier lors de l'Apartheid. En plus du pourboire pour le guide, prévoyez également de la monnaie pour prendre les taxis communs (il est nécessaire de se déplacer deux fois en taxi pendant le tour) ainsi que pour rémunérer un groupe de chanteurs qui a lancé le début du tour.

We had a very nice tour with a very friendly guide. We enjoyed a drink together after the tour.

The tour is interesting and you feel safe. Our tour guide (Lucky) was very knowledgeable and all round a great time.

Il tour di Soweto con Nkululeko è stato molto piacevole e ricco di informazioni; il nostro guru ha risposto a tutte le nostre domande e si è trattenuto per oltre un' ora rispetto all'orario previsto con estrema tranquillità . Esperienza molto bella!!

The tour with one of the Nkululeko’s guys was very interesting. It starts in a non-touristic place which has been really curious to walk through! It has been a good experience!

That was a great tour! Ideal for someone that wants to see Soweto in a nutshell. Nkuli is a local and knows a lot about the place. I feel like I learned a lot during this afternoon, and ended up having some great local food recommended by him.

Our guide Thabiso was just perfect for this tour of Soweto! We're a family of 9 people including 2 young children and we felt completely secure, Thabiso was very patient, with good historical and cultural explanations. We wouldn't expect a better moment, it was great!

It was a great tour! We enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it to experience an important and interesting part of Joburg/ South Africa's history and reality. Thabisa showed us many different places and gave interesting information about it. We enjoyed the time and talks with him a lot. We also felt safe at every time and could meet other nice people around there.

Great tour of Soweto. We did a shorter walk due to time restrictions and they accommodated this. Really interesting history and insights into current life.

Muy buen tour. Nos mostró como vive la gente en Soweto y nos contó bastante de la historia del mismo.

Nkuli was friendly, professional, and very informative. He added greatly to my knowledge of the history of Soweto and South Africa. The Tour started and ended on time. Highly recommended.

The tour was really great and we stoped at all the main points of soweto and one of the townships. Nkululeko shared all the history and knowledge from the places and even all other questions we had. It was really great to deep dive in the real Soweto experience and not just seat and see from the outside

Great, authentic tour of Soweto.

We had a fantastic time with Nkululeko! He's very friendly and explained a lot about the history of Soweto. We highly recommend this tour!!

The tour with Nonhlanhla was amazing. She is very nice and smart, and explaneid to us everything about the history of soweto. I strong recommend to everyone who is going to South Africa. It’s very immersive to talk to locals and experience the place.

Increíble experiencia Nkuli sabia muchísimo de historia de Soweto y conocía a todo el mundo , en todo momento me sentí bienvenido en la zona. Experiencia real. Outstanding experience. Nkuli knew a lot about Soweto's history and knew everyone, so I always felt welcomed in the area. A real experience.
