Soweto Cycling Tour - LocalPlaces

Getting ready to set out on a Book Ibhoni Soweto cycling tour.

Soweto Cycling Tour
Vilakazi Street in Soweto is not only Johannesburg’s most visited destination for tourists, but it is alive with local energy and buzz. Soweto today is a thriving, middle-class, sprawling suburban area that retains some of its unique character and history, so closely associated with the struggle against Apartheid and the Soweto Youth Uprising on 1976.

While there are many ways to explore Soweto, one of the best and most real experiences is by bicycle. We recommend a public Soweto Cycling Tour with Book Ibhoni for an active and immersive experience (you will join a group with other people participating too). Explore Soweto for four hours by bicycle with a local guide, connecting its history with the everyday life, creativity and energy of its communities. The route includes stops around the Hector Pieterson Memorial, Vilakazi Street, Mandela House, Orlando East and the iconic Orlando Towers, with stories along the way. Enjoy a local kota lunch (street burger like meal) and beer tasting at local pub.
