This Soweto and Johannesburg tour brings local history and personal stories to the forefront. You will walk along Vilakazi Street with a guide who grew up there and hear firsthand accounts of life during apartheid from former activists and residents. As you move through the neighbourhoods, visits include landmark sites such as the Hector Pieterson Museum and Constitution Hill, with storytelling that aims to go beyond the textbook and place lived experience at the centre of what you learn.
The experience is designed to suit solo travellers, families and groups, and offers flexible itineraries with options to adjust based on your interests and pace. Guides are knowledgeable and strive to make you feel safe, welcome and inspired. Along the way, your participation also supports local communities: a portion of the tour fees goes towards education and skills training initiatives.
