Our bike tour was truly exceptional and one of those rare experiences that leaves a lasting impression. It was such a unique opportunity to explore the area in a way that felt both immersive and completely safe. The guides made the experience even more special. They were not only incredibly friendly and professional but also extremely knowledgeable. They shared deep historical insights into South Africa’s complex past, particularly the difficult era of apartheid. Their ability to combine cycling with such meaningful education made the tour really enjoyable. What I loved most is that this tour is run by people who genuinely love cycling. That passion really comes through in everything they do—from the way they lead the rides to how they share their expertise and enthusiasm. As a fellow cyclist, I felt a real connection to that energy, and it made the experience all the more memorable. And a very warm hello to you, Wandi! It was such a pleasure meeting you. I wish you all the best for your future and hope that one day you’ll be able to make your trip to Europe and experience the cycling culture there firsthand.

This was truly one of the best tours I’ve done on a vacation. Soweto is a special place and this is a great way to see the local culture there. Our guide, Lwazi, was amazing. I appreciated him giving us space to ask tough questions about Apartheid and Soweto with no judgment. It was a really genuine and impactful away to learn about the history. Be sure you go hungry, because you’ll be ending the tour very full of delicious local food and beer!! Last note- be sure to ask about the charity work these guys are doing. It’s also incredible!!!

We had a great beer time in a very local bar and then the famous local sandwich from Soweto at lunch stop. Thotso is very cute and will take care about you all time.
