General Review (May 2010)

Hi!

The soccer city tour was excellent – we enjoyed every bit of it – the rain did not take our joy away.
We had fun.
The drive through Soweto was an eye opener for those who had never been there before and our Tour guide did an excellent job talking us through the various areas.

The Food at Wandie’s was definitely to live for, nice and homely, perfect for yesterdays weather

The feedback I got from our staff is that the day was different and yet extremely enjoyable.

Thank you for all your assistance.

Regards

B

Soweto, drive through JHB & lunch at Wandies (May 2010)

It was a great tour.
Very emotional to visit this historic worldwide famous place. I don't know why we never came here since we arrived in 2007.
I will still remember this day.

Soweto and Wandies Tour (November 2009)

Dears Sirs,

We stayed in South Africa last week and we booked for Soweto Tour on tuesday 10th with Mr SIPPO as guide
and Diamond Mine on wednesday 11th with Mr CELESTIN.
Let us tell how enchanted we are with it. The schedule was perfectly respected, the cars were clean and the two guides
friendly, helpfull and full of knowledge. We always feel safe with them. We spent two interesting days in Pretoria
and Johannesburg, seeing things we couldn't see alone.
All this is highly professionnal.
Thank you.

Soweto and Wandies Tour (October 2009)

We had a wonderful day in Johannesburg and SOWETO. Very exciting and informative. We had a very pleasant driver, Robert. We felt very comfortable and safe.
Having had a desire to see Soweto for 20 years, makes it so surreal to finally be there. And I loved it. It gave me the chills to see Orlando West Highschool, and the Hector Pieterson Memorial. I was deeply touched.
This was our family's first trip to South Africa. We'll be back in 2012!
Thank you so much.

Benjamin, Visti and Mette from Denmark

General Review (August 2009)

Wow! What a brilliant experience! Simon is an outstanding host and guide. I learned so much on my Soweto tour and share the experience with friends at home. I was also able to tour the Elephant Sanctuary and Lion Park at short notice. The tour was memorable and remarkable - both for myself as well as my Malawian friend. I will continue to highly recommend this company to friends and family. Thanks so much!

Soweto and drive through Johannesburg (April 2009)

It had been an interesting,educational tour.
It was really worth while doing this trip.

One thing i would like you to know,the guide who accompanied us was a very very good one.
He is well informed about everything and he has got the gift/talent to share this with the tourists.
Also for people like Ron and myself who using English as a second language.

Please pass this message to him and his colleagues and probably chief as well.

Thanks for this unforgettable tour.

With kind regards, met vriendelijke groet,

Peter J.W. de Jong

Soweto, Apartheid Museum & Drive Through Jo`burg (January 2009)

In late January this year, I had the wonderful opportunity to tour Soweto with Themba Day Tours with my family. It was clear from the commencement of our tour that our designated guide, Sipho, was exceptionally knowledgeable regarding the subject of interest, and had superb experience in terms of hospitality. Unfortunately during the course of the day, a member of the tour closed a car door on Sipho's finger and severely damaged it. Despite this interuption, Sipho continued to provide wonderful service and dealt with a seemingly irritating customer (that was accompanying my family) in a highly professional manner. My family and I would like to commend Sipho of his service, and express hopes of a quick recovery from the injury.

Soweto and drive through Johannesburg (November 2008)

Just a short note to thank your company for the above tour we made whilst in South Africa. In particular we would like to thank Simon our driver/guide. He made our trip most enjoyable. His driving was most expert and safe and his knowledge of your country quite broad.

I hope you give him our best wishes (if he can remember us!!) and that he is regarded as highly in your company as we regarded him.

Many thanks
Yours faithfully

Soweto and drive through Johannesburg (September 2008)

We thought the tour was very interesting and informative. As we only had a short stay in Johannesburg it was a great way to get an oversight of both Johannesburg and Soweto. The historical content was excellent & great insight into the culture of South Africa.
Thank very much
