By 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.
Local guides, transfers and admission fees included.

Gilda and Gabriel took us on an amazing, unrepeatable day around Soweto. The exceptional relationships that Gilda has cultivated give her guests an utterly unique, real, vibrant experience. From Vilakazi street to the local family in their yard to the exceptional boys Kliptown, Gilda will open you to an unforgettable experience. If you want to really immerse yourself in Soweto don’t miss this exceptional opportunity.

The entire tour was very informative. We loved the authenticity. Meeting the families and children was enlightening. Someone actually pleasantly invited us into her home. Highly recommended if you want to experience the true Soweto.

Incredible opportunity to see the real Soweto life. Gilda and Gabriel were excellent guides and brought the area to life enabling us to go to places where most tour companies would not go.

The tour was amazing. Gilda is very connected to people and culture. The most memorable segment was the immersion into the history of Soweto, and the beauty of the Joburg spirit. I hosted 14 family members and will never forget this tour.

Gilda is an extraordinary guide. She gave us deep insight into the people and history of Soweto, which changed my entire experience of this country. We saw sights and locations (Mandela's home, KlipTown, etc) through the eyes of people who live there, whose stories are remarkable. As a result of Gilda's guidance, we instantly felt at home, at ease, connected to the joy and strength of this community. Do not miss this opportunity!

Hearing stories from the locals give such a great additional layer of emotion which I have didn’t get from previous tours I did in Soweto. Gilda is so engaged and committed to the people in Soweto.

I have been meaning to write this review for months. My son and I traveled to South Africa in March. We had a week safari planned as well as Cape Town and the Whale Coast for another week. We flew into Johannesburg and had a day before the safari and booked Gilda’s tour. After our amazing vacation (saw the big five, penguins, Cape of Good Hope) my 12 year old still says his favorite day on our trip was the Bespoke tour of Soweto with Gilda and Gabriel! Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

We booked a last-minute tour with our two teenagers. When I asked at the end “Did you like it?” They answered “No, we loved it!! Especially the music at the end and the kids in Kliptown.”
To be honest, we as parents, thought it was a bit too touristy on Vilakasi street with the dancing Zulu’s. But the extra local guides were well informed and nice. And we got time to go up the Soweto Towers (didn’t jump 🫣). The view was awesome. All in all a nice day.
