If you would like to learn about Johannesburg and Soweto through a dynamic experience that includes video chat, pictures and real life stories. I have been on two of Sipho's tours in person, and the quality of this tour is no different. If you are interested or curious about Soweto but can't travel right now this is a great way to experience it while supporting the tourism industry that is hurting right now.This was an amazing experience! My husband & did the tour simultaneously on our iPads, since we can’t travel during the pandemic & loved it. We learned a lot about the history & culture of Soweto. Highly recommend.

As my trip to SA was cancelled this year due to the pandemic, I've been seeking out virtual ways to visit. Sipho is a talented storyteller and an excellent guide - even though neither of us were in Soweto (as the tour was given online), I really felt transported! Sipho is also a talented photographer and shared his photographs with me to be used in my research for university, as well as answering my many questions about his business. I'd recommend this tour to anybody who wants to travel from home with an attentive guide - thanks Sipho, hopefully we can do this in person soon!We booked this virtual tour for a large group company event and it was a great success.

Really amazing experience - I learned so much from this tour! The perfect way to get to know the history and culture of an important location in South Africa. Sipho is a fantastic guide and his passion for sharing the history of his neighborhood shines through. I knew very little about the history of Joburg and Soweto and Sipho provided such a great overview. Can't wait to visit and take an in person tour.
