    We toured Soweto with Maweza and had a wonderful, informative, eye-opening time. The information and places he shared with us gave us a real feel for the township. Also, he skillfully set expectations for the tour, and ensured that we could be respectful of the people and places we visited.

    Visiting Soweto and learning about the rich culture and bravery of the Soweto community was such a blessing.
    Lebo (our guide) and Murundeni (our driver) helped us to feel welcomed and comfortable. We learned so much about the beautiful history of Soweto that will never be forgotten. The bike riding through the city and having lunch was amazing. It Truly was an enriching experience!

    What a day with our guide Gabriel, just the three of us! Moving, thought provoking, educational, and enjoyable. Wonderful to know I selected a tour company that focuses on working with young boys in Kliptown, helping them develop a business to help themselves.

    The tour was incredibly interesting and informative. The guide is incredibly knowledgeable on the history of Soweto. He answered all our questions and even shared some stories from his childhood living in Soweto.

    Had a great time exploring Soweto with Sipho! He’s super knowledgeable and passionate, and I learned a lot about the neighborhood and it’s amazing history. He also made it a lot of fun, and could not have been friendlier!

    This is the best experience I have had with a travel agency that was personalized to see Johannesburg and its surrounding attraction. This tour was personalized: Johannesburg, Soweto, Apartheid Museum, Hector Pietson Museum, Mandela House, Maboneng, Cradle to Human life, Constitution Hill, Local food tasting recommendations and the best of it all transportation from and back to the Airport. Thank you Tye for being a great communicator and coordinating out travel arrangements and connecting us to our Tour guide the best one: Mdu. Mdu was the best with great customer service, throughly explained the history of South Africa and the cultural and way of life for South Africans. Mdu made us feel comfortable and safe the whole time he even went above and beyond to make sure we made it to the airport after finding out we were on the wrong airport. I would highly recommend Honest Travel don’t hesitate you are in good hands for the best vacation. Their communication and efficacy is on point. Thank you Mdu for giving us the best tour and helping us create beautiful memories and thanks for being patient and understanding. Mdu is now a friend to the entire family.
    Honest Travel is the best and Thank you. I

    As travelers from another country, trusting people and making upfront payments can feel uncertain. However, Shaun and his team provided us with one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. We enjoyed two different safari adventures in Sabi Sands and Kruger Park—one on paved roads with a more distant view of the animals, and the other an off-road journey offering a more exclusive experience. Our guide, Mylord, was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us spot the wildlife. A big thank you to Shaun and his team for making our holiday truly extraordinary!

    I stayed at Curiousity and did Soweto full day trip and Apartheid museum with an awesome brother Kaizer. He not only knowledgeable about what he does but makes your stay in the neighborhood full of joy. Had a chance to meet a grand son of Dr Vilagazi because of him Sipho Vilagazi who runs coffee shop at very important spot. If you book a trip do it with Kaizer, cuz he is not only the best but exceptional! I am not saying others are not Eco also is a nice guy whom I like him the moment I met him. Our driver Cris was also awesome and you will be lucky if you get this combination. I need to be honeat, I am also previlaged since I was alone which sometimes you lose when you are in a crowd. Thanks to the team that makes this happen and kept me informed and entertained.

    I booked this tour with my wife and we were not sure what to expect from this tour. Our tour guide, Thabang, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. He was well prepared to answer any questions we had to ask. The experience was very eye opening and educational. When our guide shared some personal experiences with us it felt more than a tour but like we were close friends, homies if you would. I will certainly recommend this tour to any one that wants to be more than a tourist and get immersed in the history of Johannesburg and South Africa.

    When we arrived late in the evening at the airport, the driver Lucky of Thiya Tours was waiting for us. He brought us from the airport to our hotel. He was very helpful and knew a lot to tell about Johannesburg.
    The next day we had some things planned to do in Johannesburg. Because we had only one day to spend in Johannesburg we decided to take the services of Lucky.
    We were pleased with this decision because Lucky is a great guy and an excellent guide. He drives safely in his clean and comfortable car and he was very polite and respectful.
    First he brought us to Soweto where we had a tour and after that we went to the Apartheid Museum. In the afternoon we went to different places in the center of the city. Lucky knew a lot to tell about the life in and the history of the city.
    If you visit Johannesburg we highly recommend Lucky of Thiya Tours for his services!
