Red bus Tour to Soweto - The red bus tour , with Mogomoetsi, SK and Kagiso, was absolutely entertaining. They kept us informed and energized through out the tour. They shared great insights of each of the historic places and events. Definitely worth going for this tour. We took the 2 hour tour and didnt have time to walk through the market and enjoy something at the various coffee shops. Thus you need more then 2 hours to appreciate and enjoy everything there is to offer in Soweto, Vilakazi Street.

Best part of our trip to Jo'Burg - I feel so blessed and humbled to have had the opportunity to do this tour of Soweto. A huge thank you to our guides Mohomutsi, Kia, Lynda; extremely knowledgeable and professional young men who gave us such a unique and honest insight into Soweto and it's history. Very attentive and thank you for helping my daughter who wasn't feeling well that day.

Great Experience - Highly recommend this tour. It is very informative and provides a different perspective. We added the walking tour and enjoyed it tremendously. Our guide Mpho-p was "funtastic" and showed us areas we would not have seen otherwise.

Brief tour of Soweto - Very brief but good experience. Had few hours to spare in Johannesburg and saw Soweto. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Tour guide explained to me that Tours of FNB stadium are no longer running with the red bus tours. When I visit next time I want to be able to do the tour if possible and see the inside of the stadium.
