me and my mom had two days with peter,during thos days peter did everyithng so that we wiil have the best experience ever.peter not only showed us the places we were intrested in but also shared with us is knowledge and experience.he made our tours more special and unik than i have ever had befor.with his patience and will to give us only the best he makes the perfect tour specially customized for us.i recommend every turist in johanesburg to connect peter and use his service for he is the best!! t
Peter took us on an very interesting tour of Soweto. He showed us as much as possible in the short time we had and at all times we felt safe. He is a true gentleman and gave us so much information. I highly recommend him.
I booked with Msahaba several months prior to the date of the tour. The day before Peter calls to tell me that 2 other people want to join my private tour. I was on the way back from timbavati reserve and had poor reception and did not need others in the shuttle to hear our conversation. I told Peter verbally that it might be ok, but then texted immediately after saying I was uncomfortable as i was booked as a private tour and I wanted to do very specific things not on the beaten path like visit a witch doctor. He sent me a text back and said "I found someone, it's fine". At this point I began to be uncomfortable as all reviews were for Peter directly. I phoned the guesthouse that figured out a tour for me - I only had one day in Johannesburg and did much research to find Mashaba to get what I was looking for. I was very disappointed by the tour I did receive - the guy was nice but didn't not understand the type of tour I wanted. I wish things worked out for this tour as Peter's communication before hand was fast and professional but the call the day before with changes to pre-existing plans and the way it was handled was not professional.
Loved the personal tour with Peter Mashaba around Soweto.Good to have a local show you the places you should see. Great service and even tried the Hudu "intestines" for lunch at Sakhumzi Restaurant on Vilikazi Street.Excellent visits to the Hector Peterson and Apartheid Museum included.A superb tour of the Soweto Township with a local South African.
It's true! For tours of Johannesburg, Soweto and Pretoria, wildlife trips, transfers, flexibility, efficiency, and extraordinary knowledge, Peter from Mashaba Tours is fantastic!
I had a chance to take a weekend tour to Soweto while working in Johannesburg. I organized a tour with Peter at very short notice and would like to mention that the communication (phone, email) was very precise and clear.The tour in itself was excellent, with regards to scheduling, professionalism and a great chat all around! I would definitely recommend Mashaba Tours and Transfers for anyone who wants reliable service.
We spent two full days with Peter-1 and 2 December, 2014. We were a family group of two adults and two teenagers.On day one we did his full day city tour including Soweto and the Apartheid Museum . It was excellent. Peter's knowledge was outstanding. He also assisted us in getting settled into South Africa by finding a secure ATM and supermarket etc.On day 2 we requested a tour of the Anne Van Dyk Cheetah Conservation Park outside of the city. He was happy to accomodate this request and it was done very professionally.Peter was efficient and reliable . He collected and dropped us off at our Guesthouse in Kempton Park .We would highly recommend him.
I want to thank Peter Mashaba for the fantastic, friendly, informational tour he gave to my guests and myself. He took us to Soweto showing and explaining many interesting sites between our home and Soweto. Once in Soweto he explained to the three of us all about the history and sites. It was so much more than you could get from a guide book or bus tour. We went in his lovely clean and comtfortable vehicle. We also had a delicious meal at the resturant he took us to in Soweto with some great entertainment.My guests were from Berlin and not totally comfortable with english (and I do not speak german) but they found Peter so clear that they understood his information and thoroughly enjoyed his company and tours. When I was busy with some volunteer work Peter took my family/guests to the Lion and Rhino Park for the day. They had an amazing experiece with him. Thank you again Peter and I will certainly continue to take tours with you and bring guests from various countries. Cheers, Heidi ( the Canadian ) and Birgit and Wolfgang (the Germans) Sept. 2014
Really enjoyed our Soweto tour with Peter. Fascinating insight to what happened and where during the apartheid years. But also a chance to see how life has moved on for some - millionaire homes a short distance from the tin shacks that are still erected by people migrating towards the city. We went into one of the shacks - no electricity and a communal tap - and talked to the owner. A wake-up call for our children, who back home are obsessed by the gadgets. Peter answered all our questions. Recommend going to the Apartheid Museum first to understand the context.
I have used Peter's services for over 10 years, and have recommended countless international and local guests. Peter is friendly, accommodating, trustworthy, very knowledgeable of Joburg and Soweto and most of all, reliable. Safety of guests is always a top consideration for Peter, and his knowledge of the city makes him a better choice than a larger operator. I always enjoy my interaction with Peter, and my guests do too.
