My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Soweto. It was very safe and we loved hearing first hand what life in the township was like. The staff were all wonderfully friendly and keen to accommodate us. Being on a bike was so much better than being stuck behind glass in a bus - I think every visitor to... More

This was a wonderful tour, well organized, lot's to see/learn and good pace. It was easy to book online and I also arranged a pick-up/drop-off with them. The 4hour tour was perfect for me, though if you want to go inside the museums you'll have to do the full day tour. The tour starts/ends at Lebo's Soweto Backpackers, it's a... More

Did the 4 hour cycle tour with Bonganin (Guide) and it was absolutely perfcect. Great impressions about the history and the life in Soweto.

Had a great tour on bikes. After all the negative stories about Soweto we decided against all odds to try it ourselves. Honestly: The 'not safe' stories are noncence. Never ever felt unsafe. Friendly people and fantastic hospitality, even better than in our home country. Great experience and an eye-opener towards black culture in South Africa.
