Why We Love This Unique Experience
Discover the heart and soul of Soweto with an authentic, bespoke tour that promises an unforgettable experience. Unlike the typical large-group tours, this small group setting provides a personal touch, allowing for deeper connections and meaningful interactions with the vibrant community. Renowned for its rich history and lively culture, Soweto invites you to explore life today, as it unfolds, while appreciating the backdrop of significant past events.
This immersive experience combines captivating storytelling with unique local encounters. Led by a beloved local guide, the journey includes visits to iconic sites such as Vilakazi Street, known for its vibrant street life and historical significance. A stop at Mandela House offers insight into the life of Nelson Mandela, while the Hector Pieterson Museum provides a poignant reminder of the struggles faced during apartheid. The tour also ventures through Kliptown, showcasing stunning street art and the warmth of the local community. With engaging interactions, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Soweto's past and present, all in a relaxed atmosphere designed for genuine exploration.
Looking for a thoughtful gift that creates lasting memories? This unique Soweto tour is the perfect choice for family, friends, or anyone seeking an extraordinary experience. Immerse oneself in the culture, share stories over drinks with locals, and embrace the friendly spirit of Soweto. Give the gift of adventure, connection, and discovery that will be cherished for years to come!

Experience Overview:
Most Authentic, Bespoke, Small Group, Soweto Tour On OfferBy far the most unique and authentic tour on offer in Soweto, covered often in local media. Many Soweto tours are covering the same sights in large groups. EENBLOND TOURS do things completely different. We believe in making travellers out of tourists, and prefer to share current day Soweto, let you experience life as it is lived today and meet some regular local people without ignoring the importance of past events. Your guide is well known and loved in Soweto, and also use 2 or 3 local guides to give you a more varied experience. I support local communities via my NGO, also entrepreneurs. 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.
