This tour made the people of South Africa come alive. We had a chance to connect with the local people in a way we had not done on our entire holiday. Our guide shared so much with us about how the people of Langa live and how they value community. He also shared a lot about the historical issues that... More

Sivewe tours did a wonderful job. First, we booked a tour on less than 60 minutes notice and they were happy to accomodate us. Gladstone led our group of four and he was phenomenal. He led a two hour walking tour showing us exactly what his and his family's life in the township was like. You can do a driving... More

My husband and I recently visited Cape Town and one of the most memorable experience was our visit to Langa. Our guide, Gladstone, was wonderful. If you're reading this Gladstone, thank you so much for sharing your home and traditions with us. I truly believe that our experiences in Cape Town would not have been complete without this visit and... More

I hadn't really considered going on a township tour when I visited South Africa. I had heard enough about the crime in S. A. that I was concerned about going to any "rough" parts of town.

I had told them in advance that we were bringing our 6 year old son and he would like to meet some... More

Our tour guide Gladstone also lives in this Township and he showed us where he lived in his youth and various stories of himself in the past, which delivered us real lives and thoughts of people there. We felt more positive aspects than we had thought before joining this tour. Joining a township tour is a must here in Cape... More

Just amazing! In 4 words: Interesting, efficient, safe and honest. I had the best township tour with my guide Gladstone. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. The promptness and helpfulness of replies to my emails by Siviwe , made it possible for me to do this tour despite not getting it organized until the last moment. The... More

We were a party of two and joined another couple for the walking tour through the Langa township. Our guide was great and the small size of the group creates a intimate feeling. You will see different areas of the township, from old to renovated “hostels”, nice single houses and shacks. Also they explain a lot about the background and... More
