Top Pretoria Walking Tours

Perfect, Maweza was a very attentive guide and knows the region very well. I suggest bringing sunscreen and water!

An unmissable, fantastic tour in Soweto made so unforgettable by the knowledge, 5 star professionalism, personal experience and warm personality of Maweza. The experience gave us a whole new understanding of Soweto and Sowetans. We were moved by the charm and friendliness of everyone we met along the way. We fully recommend this tour.

Soweto cultural walking tour was incredible. Our guide, Moweza, has so much knowledge and passion about the history and has beautiful connections with people living there, giving you a real experience and a glimpse into how life is in Soweto and the different areas people live in

Very good guide Take the time to explain Adapts gives us choice for some activities Very much appreciated that he makes work full of young people from his neighborhood Nice experience

Maweza was a fantastic guide and provided many unbiased stories from a local perspective. Great way to spend a few hours

This tour was fantastic! Lawrence is very knowledgeable and took the time to educate us on South African history and the historical context of Soweto before the tour began. We had the opportunity to visit Nelson Mandela’s home and neighborhoods across the economic spectrum. The history and culture is rich. Lawrence took the time to explain it all and fielded all sorts to questions. Midway through there is a tasty lunch.Most of the tour is in flat paved roads, so it’s not too strenuous, though one portion is uphill and tough to navigate if you’re out of shape. Otherwise, the walking tour is manageable and totally worth it.

Excellent cultural experience. I believe our guides name is Mawawe. He was amazing..very knowledgeable, professional & kept every one engaged.

Maweza is a fabulous guide. He is very well read on history and both sides of the Apartheid story - he is also excited to share his knowledge with his tour groups. It was very easy to get an Uber to the starting point, and back from the finishing point. I definitely recommend this tour.

I had my Soweto tour on a rainy day but despite that, my tour guide Maweza made the morning so wonderful. He was super knowledgeable about the community and its history. He filled in gaps in knowledge I still had after the Apartheid Museum. I really appreciated that he took the time to share additional details at every stop at the tour as well as photo reminders. Plus, he even provided me with extra books and movies I could look into after the tour. I learned so much more than I could have on my own or even if I was doing a bus tour.

it was not only the tour itself that was rich in terms of information and locations visited but also the agency "One Day Africa'' is great. They contacted me a day before to provide all necessary information and on top of that there were so kind to give me some tips about tourism in Joburg that were irrelevant with the tour. All communication was smooth via WhatApp that is really practical. Maweza, our guide, is so nice and well informed about Soweto's history . We were also in touch via whatsApp and he sent me his live location in order to ensure that i will reach him safely to the pick up spot. The walking tour was great and I did felt like i had a local friend walking me through sports that only locals could know. The lunch was an experience as well. definitely worth it ! After the tour Maweza kindly shared additional references for further reading about the history of Soweto and south africa. Definitely enjoyed it and recommend it !

Maweza was our guide for the tour and he was excellent! Gave us the history of Soweto before the walking portion started. Took us to areas not all tour groups go to. He is very passionate about sharing Soweto with visitors. This tour was a great end to our South African trip.

Teboho was a very warm and welcoming guide. We got a lot of information, also personal experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing knowledge and enthusiasm Our guide was determined that we should see and experience the real Soweto

Maweze is an excellent guide. Very informative. He took us on an adventure explaining all about the history of Soweto. I highly recommend this tour.

Maweza our guide gave us great insight into the township as such and went to places with us that I would otherwise never have entered (wear comfy closed shoes). He has great rapport with the community and therefore I always felt safe. Maweza also shared his views on past and present developments within Soweto and told us some interesting results of his research regarding Apartheid and the Healing Years. Maweza was very well spoken and fun to listen to. We were asked for dietary requirements and accordingly offered the vegetarian version of the local dish which was also a good experience to have. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history and future of Soweto.

Visiting Soweto was an eye opening experience, and I’m so glad I chose to do so with this walking tour! It was a good way to experience the area up close, with my guide Maweza who truly knew the place and shared deep and detailed history and information as walked around. I ended up being the only one on this tour when I went, but that turned out to be a fantastic experience as it became almost like just taking a long walk while taking about the places we were in. Which is perfect if you ask me! And as a solo female traveler I didn’t for a single moment feel unsafe or uncomfortable, as people had been warning me I might do. Overall a fantastic experience, informative and respectfully done, would absolutely recommend!
