Great private tour - I was referred by a friend who had a tour with Shane just a few days prior. Communication was great from beginning to end. The tour ended up being private tour and was a wonderful last minute addition to my trip Shane is full of knowledge and has a great love for Johannesburg and South Africa. I definitely would have missed out on a lot of history if he hadn't shown me around. The tour schedule helped us avoid the crowds and the lines at each site. The staff at all of the tour sites know him and are friendly with him. Shane took photos at various locations so I didn't have to and even messaged me some tips for places to eat and see for later on during my trip.

Private tour - only way to tour! - Fabulous private 1/2 day tour. We had some extra time as we were over holding a day in Johannesburg Tambo airport prior to departing on our 10 day safari. We wanted to learn more about the city and the history of Africa however were apprehensive to go on just any tour due to safety concerns and did not want a large group tour. After spending 6 hours with Shane I can unequivocally recommend his service. I was v impressed with his knowledge and depth of African history and local etiquette. His driving was good. Vehicle clean (no odours) and he was very attentive to our questions. He showed up on time at the airport hotel and at no time did I feel uneasy. He knew his way around and got us in to the various venues with ease (no line ups). After the tour I felt I had learned alot and it was great value.

Had a great day and learned a lot - I booked this tour last minute at 830pm the night before, and Shane was ready and waiting to collect me the next morning. He is a happy, knowledgeable, and funny guy, with interesting stories and a great sense of humour. I had a great day, learned a lot, had a laugh, and felt safe and relaxed all day. It was great to meet you Shane, thanks for everything.

Great Tour - I booked a tour with Shane through TripAdvisor and he was easy to deal with. There was an error on my TripAdvisor app and I was panicking because I could not get in touch with customer care from TripAdvisor to rectify the error, Shane sent a message to them on my behalf and rectified the error on my behalf. He was punctual and knowledgeable about the sites. He picked the best spots at the right time to allow an easy trip throughout. He guided us through Johannesburg and Soweto thoroughly. We felt safe in his car and well received. We were free to ask questions and asked him to stop in other areas that we were interested in and he obliged. It was an exciting day and fruitful as we discussed business ventures with him too. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to know more about South Africa’s past. And any other tour. Truly a great man.

Very interesting - Shane was fabulous. He’s a very engaging and informative host who made the whole trip very enjoyable. We learnt a lot not only about Mandela and the locations but generally about like in South Africa We’d highly recommend this trip

Started Well, Ended Badly - The points of interest were great. It was well worth the money. I would’ve given five stars but our guide got angry with my group because he misunderstood our time requirements. We signed up for an 8 AM pick up but he picked us up at nine. I explained that we were leaving that day and we needed to be back by 1pm. He was great, very friendly very informative taking pictures and helping us navigate the tour until he learned that we could actually go longer than 1 o’clock and could use the full six hour tour. Our plans change because we initially wanted to go shopping after the tour and before heading to the airport, but we discovered that there were shopping venues while we were on the tour therefore we had more time to complete the tour. He literally argued with us and called us dishonest which was completely unprofessional! He gave us the full time but he no longer very friendly or enthusiastic. Other than that, it started out great it just didn’t end very well.

Very dissatisfied :( - Our first tour, the tour guide did not show nor reach out to us to let us know why. The second tour the guide did show up and the experience was decent so we scheduled a third tour which our pick up time according to the booking was for 8am but the driver changed it to 6am. We were not ready and we were left. There was not enough time for us to be compensated for the inconvenience due to the fact that we were leaving the next day. I was very disappointed with their service.
