Great day in Johannesburg and Soweto
Jun 2021
I informed Solly that I had a necessary covid test scheduled at 9 am and the tour was to begin at 930. At 845 I went down to reception and found my guide already present.
Again I informed him that this test must be done because I was to return to the States on the next day. At 915 no one had shown for the test. A comedy of errors then occurred which does not need explanation here. What must be mentioned that my guide remained calm and thoughtful throughout. We were able to begin the tour 45min later. This was a most enlightening and informative tour. Due to covid some museums were closed. My guide would attempt to explain what we missed in these buildings. I kind of smile when I think of one poor review the group got because"all he talked about was the history of the area". I would have that history is what the area is all about. I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour
May 2021
Like others, I had an excellent tour with Sully of Johannesburg and Soweto: educational, informative, enjoyable, totally safe and stressfree. Sully is very knowledgeable and knows everyone. Unfortuately the Apartheid Museum was still closed at the time of my visit, but we could do virtually everything else - Constitutional Hill and the Hector Pieterson Memorial perhaps being the most memorable, but also very good to visit downtown Jo'burg.

History of Joburg and Soweto
Apr 2021 • Family
Sully is a great guide! I highly recommend him and his services. He is knowledgeable of the history and speaks several languages to communicate with local people. We felt totally safe , his car and van were clean and his driving was outstanding . His relationships with the community can be felt as we walk or drive through the area . This tour helps you to understand the transition this country has been through and the determination of the people for change.
I cannot say enough - Sully was awesome!

Solly is THE BEST!
May 2021
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Solly was extremely knowledgeable. He made sure our group was comfortable. He answered every question with a smile! We started our three day tour in Johannesburg and Soweto. We visted Constitutional Hill and Nelson Mandela's house in Soweto. Such an amazing expierence with such history. My favorite part was the buffet restaurant that Solly took us to in Soweto. On the second day we visted the Crandle of Humankind and the Sterkfontein Cave Tour. Solly always made sure we took photographs and enjoyed every moment. We may have saved the best for last, the elephant and monkey sanctuary. The sanctuary was life changing. We got to be in the presence and touch African ellies.
Solly made sure we were able to focus on expierencing the beauty of South Africa.

Perfect start
Apr 2021 • Solo
This was the best start for my south africa travels. It's so impressive to see the places and I've learned a lot more about the country. I had only one day in Johannesburg and to book this tour was the right decision. You see a lot of places in only one day.
