What an amazing tour! Lesiba is knowledgeable and personable. He insured we were connected with local guides at each stop which really enhanced our experience. My family really felt they got an authentic experience and my 11 year old son learnt and absorbed so much. Highly recommend.

Our family had an excellent day on a tour of many important sites related to the struggle to end apartheid. Martin is extremely knowledgable about the history and culture of the region. Everyone knew him in each spot we visitied and he greeted each person with kindness and good cheer. High recommended experience.

Our guide, Lesiba, was very flexible and knowledgable regarding Johannesburg neighborhoods and sites. He called a day before to confirm a convenient pickup time and location.
