Soweto, an urban area or ‘township’ located to the southwest of Johannesburg in South Africa, is home to approximately 1.3 million people.

Soweto Whole Day Tour - Kaiser was a wonderful guide and this tour is well worth it in order to understand the history of the town. Recommend if you have a day spare and would like to learn about Joburg!

Great tour, great guide - Kaizer was a great charismatic guide, and gave us a good background of the area. Would happily do another tour with him, might even do one tomorrow!

Misleading information - Hi, we did the Soweto full day tour (650 rand). The ad says that tour includes visits to Mandela house, Desmond Tutu house and Pieterson museum. We specifically asked if the tickets were included and the answer was yes. Well, in fact the tour passes by these 3 places, not really visiting them. We complained to the guide and it seems that it is not the first time somebody complained but the info and the ad has not changed... There are other agencies offering a more personalized experience for the same price. Really disappointed as we felt really cheated.
