The tour of the museum was an incredible experience as there is a wealth of information, while Tsepho did a great job in contextualizing the information and giving us additional nuggets to digest that made the tour more enriching. We were comfortable throughout the whole tour and would definitely recommend it. Once again, this experience was enjoyable due to Tshepo.”
