I did the two hour tour back in November. It was one of my favourite things I did in seven months in South Africa. Thomas was an absolutely fantastic guide and I learned so much. He talked about the history that we all know of Soweto as well as the more local stories and the realities of living there now.... More

Just had a tour with NK at Soweto bicycle tours. He was friendly, informative and entertaining. They also adjusted our tour to a car tour instead of on the bike due to heavy rain last minute and reduced the price. Nonetheless we had a great time, thoroughly recommended. More

Excellent trip, lovely guides and a superb day out. The Soweto people couldn't be nicer and were glad to chat and show us their town. A real high of our holiday. More

A perfect way to see SOWETO. Started by Lebo who was raised and still lives here. Guides live in SOWETO. Four hr bicycle tour allows you to spend time there, see the people, stop and taste the local food. It is a great way to immerse yourself in the culture and learn about people. The people are happy have you... More

Did the 4 hour tour. Right timing I think. An amazing way to see Soweto! Felt very safe! Carried my brand new DSLR camera and didn't fear for pick-pockets etc. A face to face with the local people. A beautiful opportunity for pictures of the children and other who come out to greet you... A great history lesson from the... More
