Soweto bike tour: a unique view on history

Soweto originated from mining in the south of Johannesburg. Today, people from all corners of South Africa live here. The township has a rich history due to the struggle for freedom that took place.

Two of the most important figures in South African history lived here: Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Both are also Nobel Peace Prize winners. During this bike tour, you will get a good impression of everyday life.
