I spent 3 days touring solo with Peter Mashaba and his colleague Louis. My experience was excellent! Both guides are knowledgeable, conversant and very safe. Over the three days I had a great range of conversation with each guide (Peter two days and Louis one day), and when possible offered to take them out to lunch for more in-depth conversation. I learned so much about the experiences of black Africans during and post Apartheid because they were sincerely open to engaging in conversation with me and to sharing their experiences. Peter and Louis were responsive to my interests and customized my tours accordingly. When the Sterkfontein caves were unexpectedly closed, Peter had a great alternative suggestion. Both are safe drivers and the vehicle is clean. I did a half day Soweto tour, full day Johannesburg tour including the Constitutional Court and Apartheid Museum, and went to the Cradle of Humankind. My time in Johannesburg was enhanced greatly because of taking tours with Mashaba Tours. They have my highest recommendation!

Peter is a very knowledgeable and articulate tour guide for the Soweto tour and his customer service is second to none. He tailors the tour to the client, dependent on their knowledge and experience of the country and its history and culture. He will collect and drop-off and his rates are extremely reasonable. It is a very worthwhile tour.

Found Peter’s company from a Google search and very pleased I did. The half day tour of Soweto was exactly what my friend and I were looking for. We were only in Johannesburg briefly with work and wanted to see Soweto. Peter’s tour was better value for money than what other tour company’s were offering. His knowledge and friendliness didn’t go unnoticed. I booked last minute and he was accommodating. Highly recommend, Peter is all round a top bloke. Thanks again.

We did a full day tour - half a day of Johannesburg and half a day of Soweto. It was fantastic and so informative. Peter answered all our questions, drawing on both the historical record and his own experiences. We really felt we had seen everything in town at the end of the day - and Peter seems to know everyone in town, so you feel like a local as everyone greets you at each location!

Peter was a fantastic tour guide. Friendly, flexible and informative. We did a shortened Soweto tour which despite a number of attractions being closed was a very insightful and sometimes quite challenging trip. Highly recommend Peter and Mashaba Tours.

Peter was very flexible and we had a great tour. He was very knowledgable and keen to share information. The tour itinerary was flexible to our requirements and he took us to the major sights. We appreciated his personal perspective. Very nice car!! Would recommend

Peter was our guide. Before booking, I was a little concerned about safety on a Soweto tour, but interest got the better of me and I persevered. I needed have worried, as never at any stage did we feel in any way uncomfortable. Peter made us feel right at ease from the beginning and was incredibly informative and enjoyable company for the whole day.
Make sure you do the Apartheid museum also, its very well laid out and informative. A must see in Johannesburg.

Peter was a very good tour guide. He took us through Soweto and some key areas of Johannesburg. He knew the history well, provided us with a lot of information and was very professional in providing his services. I would highly recommend anyone to use his services.

I booked with Msahaba several months prior to the date of the tour. The day before Peter calls to tell me that 2 other people want to join my private tour. I was on the way back from timbavati reserve and had poor reception and did not need others in the shuttle to hear our conversation. I told Peter verbally that it might be ok, but then texted immediately after saying I was uncomfortable as i was booked as a private tour and I wanted to do very specific things not on the beaten path like visit a witch doctor. He sent me a text back and said "I found someone, it's fine". At this point I began to be uncomfortable as all reviews were for Peter directly. I phoned the guesthouse that figured out a tour for me - I only had one day in Johannesburg and did much research to find Mashaba to get what I was looking for. I was very disappointed by the tour I did receive - the guy was nice but didn't not understand the type of tour I wanted.
I wish things worked out for this tour as Peter's communication before hand was fast and professional but the call the day before with changes to pre-existing plans and the way it was handled was not professional.
