This is the tour you want to do

Published on Oct, 2024

I was a little worried that this would just be a taxi guide, but this wasn’t the case at all. I was so impressed with our guide Nkululeko (& his articulate English) and the way he shared the history made this experience incredible. This is a must do tour to take in the essence of Johannesburg and the core culture.

Fantastic experience in Soweta

Published on Feb, 2024

Our driver Nkululeko took us on the most memorable trip we have ever had. We were taken into the heart of the township where we met and spoke to some incredible people who are living in such terrible poverty. We were welcomed by everyone with smiles and the children were adorable and so happy. What an experience. Nkululeko is a credit to your company and have no hesitation in recommending him and your fantastic tour

Soweto haft day culture tour

Published on Aug, 2023

We, 4 friends, loved this half day tour very much. Our driver/guide Nkululeko from Sandton taxi cabs is very nice, know-legible, and professional. We visited the iconic areas such as Apartheid Museum, Mandala’s house, and had delicious South Africa food before heading to the airport.

I gave 5 stars just for the experience and the guide.. the company sucked.

Published on Jun, 2023

Our guide Ku was very nice and knowledgeable. He took great care of us and added value to our experience. The office however was not the best. Communication was poor. I had to run them down to get a response, which was unpleasant. They seemed like I was bothering them, for something I paid for so I did not appreciate that. Ku, our guide, made up for it but I don’t think I will go with this company again. Overall it was great to see the site and meet the people, learn the history and experience it all. I’d definitely do the experience again but probably with a different company.
