Overview

What makes this experience unique is the way we combine Soweto’s history with its everyday social culture. You’re not simply cycling between tourist attractions, you’re riding through local neighbourhoods, meeting people, visiting community pubs, tasting traditional food and experiencing the places where locals spend their time.

Our guides are from Soweto and bring their own knowledge, stories and personal connections to the places we visit. From the history of the 1976 Soweto Uprising to sharing a traditional beer at a local pub, the experience gives you different sides of Soweto in one journey.

You’ll leave having seen the famous landmarks, but also having experienced the food, streets, conversations, flavours and everyday life that make Soweto what it is.
