The tour with Thuli through Johannesburg was a wonderful and impressive experience. She showed us Johannesburg away from the usual tourist routes and we were able to immerse ourselves in life there. In Soweto we visited a project to promote children and young people, which impressed us very much.
We hope to come back soon.

Thuli picked us up on time 10am from the accommodation in Melville and showed us real life in Johannesburg. We got to know historical backgrounds and got a lot of insights into the life of  Johannesburgans.
One is off all tourist trails and sees a lot of injustice and misery. The insight into Soweto is truly thought-provoking and memorable. The project “KYP” brings hope for the young generation in terms of education and a better future.


This tour was very impressive and entertaining.
Thuli speaks very good German.
