Soweto Community Cultural Experience Tour

The most unique, authentic Soweto tour on offer, often featured in local media. Many Soweto tours are covering the same sights in large groups. EENBLOND TOURS do things differently. We believe in treating tourists as guests, and prefer to share current day Soweto; let you experience life as it is lived today, the culture, and meet regular local people without ignoring the importance of past events and the fascinating history. Your guide local and well known and loved in Soweto. We also use 2 or 3 Sowetan guides to give you a more varied experience. I support local communities and entrepreneurs via my NGO. More than 50% of your tour price goes back to the community. I don't support poverty tourism.
Book now if you don't want a rushed experience in a bus full of tourists, but rather spend a warm, immersive day in a very interesting and friendly city. We would love to share Soweto with you over drinks, walking and lots of chatting.
Local guides, transfers and admission fees included.
