Our day trip around Johannesburg was fantastic, Sunny was so knowledgeable and was a proud Soweto-ean. His great sense of humour and experience around this area made the day filled with laughs and long lasting memories. This trip is a must for anyone who wants to get to know Johannesburg (and its surrounding areas) better. Thank you again Sunny for a great day out for the family.
