I was on the fence about going on a township tour so much that I put it off until the last morning of my holiday. But I am so glad that I went. The local guides gave so much history and first hand experience that this really opened my eyes and gave context for much else that I’d seen and heard during my time in Cape Town. Of course you can only scratch the surface for what makes a whole country, city or neighbourhood tick, but this was an important first step. I’d particularly recommend the tour to South Africans themselves. It’s all very well tourists learning about the issues at hand, but when we leave our part of the story ends.

What did you enjoy the most?
Meeting locals, getting to know more about the culture and customs, but especially just how welcoming everyone was. My biggest concern was about intruding, and I never felt that was the case. Overall it was a really positive experience.

Dear Khonaye,
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we enjoyed the Township & Church tour this morning.
It was incredibly interesting and humbling at the same time and will live long in the memory of Lynn& I.
Your commentary and information was first class and for us the visit to Langa and particularly the church was not just a highlight of this holiday but probably of anywhere in the world we have been.
I will add a review on Trip Advisor to this effect.
Many, many thanks again for your time and effort.

It was the most educational and interesting activity so far. Kona my guide is very professional, he know very well his topic. I learn a lot about South African culture. I highly recommand this experience.

Hi Khonaye,
Just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed our tour with you on Monday. We learnt so much from listening to you and also talking to the people we met in Langa, especially our fantastic guide!
We sincerely wish you all the best with your business and hope more and more people come to see what life is like for the majority of the population in your wonderful country.
Good luck!
Corin, Annette, Isabella and Ben
Very informative. You’ll get a very deep insight in the history and in the townships itself

Good afternoon
Being in a service industry myself (although very different from yours) I know how rare it is to receive genuine (not those fake tick a box things) positive feedback.
As a result I would appreciate it if this could be noted by management (and I am also happy for you to pass it on directly).
My tour guide – Godfrey, was absolute sensational.
His knowledge of all things to do with the tour, from the history of South Africa through to his general knowledge of this area was amazing, it was very much like having Google sitting right next to me (with the advantage of me not having to think about what I wanted to ask).
I enjoyed this trip more than any other I have taken whilst here and this is solely due to the personality, knowledge and willingness to share experience that Godfrey bought on to the tour. I felt guilty, that I did not have the funds to ‘tip’ him for his service but seriously do want you to know he is a jewel in your crown for customer service.
I thank you so much for the experience and feel blessed that I had Godfrey as my tour guide.
