“I enjoyed the bus trip round Jhb and found the staff friendly and helpful. On my Soweto trip I initially had a driver guide Nicholas, who I thought was very well informed, interesting and very well spoken. A really outstanding guide. The guide on the street (sadly I have forgotten his name) was also very helpful and knowledgeable. On the way back I had a really good driver and good guide DJ still very worthwhile if not as interesting as Nicholas, he was still informative and interacted very well with individuals drawing them in to the tour.”
