Very engaging in sharing his perspective and answering any questions we had as we got a great overview of the history and driving forces that make up modern day Soweto.

Ride Port Elizabeth’s coast by tuk-tuk, visiting heritage sites, penguin rehabilitation, Cape Recife Lighthouse, and a World War II fort.

“Anton als Guide war toll und hat uns sehr pünktlich im Hotel abgeholt !! Er weiß sehr viel und kann es in einem verständlichen Englisch gut erklären und nimmt sich viel Zeit . Ohne ihn hätten wir diese diversen Punkte in Port Elizabeth nie angefahren oder auch geschichtlich einordnen können. Unbedingt zu empfehlen!!! Sehr kurzweilig auch . Die Zeit verging so schnell . Danke an Anton !!!! Er bringt seine Stadt überzeugend rüber . Als Highlight wäre als Optimierung nur zu empfehlen einen typischen Snack oder ein Getränk aus der Gegend anzubieten auf der Tour . Dann gäbe es 6 Sterne 😜”

Review of Johannesburg’s 3-hour tuk-tuk tour, covering Constitution Hill, Victoria Yards, Maboneng, Newtown, and local lunch details.
