Overview

A day tour of Soweto township offers you the chance to experience the heart and soul of a busy city within a city. Learn the history culture and the vibrant lifestyle of Soweto. Soweto was created in the 1930s, with Orlando the first township established. In the 1950s, more black people were relocated there from black spots in the inner city- black neighbourhoods which the apartheid government had reserved for whites. Soweto's growth was phenomenal - but unplanned.

Visit Doweto with an insider

Published on Feb, 2025

Not the 'traditional" tourist visit of Soweto. My guide Chico of Nikuli Tours, knows the area and local people well in Soweto and Kliptown area. He was very detailed on history and socio-economic struggles of Soeeto's people and let me met local inhabitants who are very welcoming with the guests he takes around. If you wish to spend time inside museums you should ask him openly as the tour has visits inside museums at discretion of the participant(s).

Amazing, genuine, and insightful experience

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was very informative and insightful. Our two guides took us on a bike tour of almost 4 hours through the different lower, middle, and upper class parts of the townships and neighborhoods. They were able to give very useful information about many different locations on the way. They were very easy going. Among the points of interest were different townships, the Shalk foundation, Nelson Mandela's house, Desmond Tutu’s house, and the location of the student uprising. Would definitely recommend taking the tour!

Wow - what a great tour!

Wonderful Walking Tour through Soweto

Published on May, 2024

Wonderful, interesting and diverse walking tour through Soweto. We could really dive into the neighbourhoods, got different impressions and s lot of first-hand knowledge. Even took the taxi, went for a local beer, and to a restaurant. Already thinking on when to go back. Thank you very much!
