Robben Island tour was a little rushed in the maximum security prison. Part of the problem was having mixed group of English and French speakers and the inevitable delays when the French translation took place. The initial guide on the bus was better at managing the situation than the prison guide. The Township tour was very good. The guide was knowledgeable and did his best managing a group who were intent on disobeying his advice!

What a great experience! I did the township tour before with my family, which was already very impressive, but this time the guide from Sam‘s was just so much more talkative and provided so much more information and background, I was really impressed. I visited Langa on a Sunday, which meant that we didn’t get to visit the kindergarten, but I was able to attend a service at the local church, which was even better. The tour included the visit of a local township beer brewer with the option to try the local beer and a visit to a traditional healer! I couldn’t have asked for more! The trip to Robben Island was well organized. Since the tour guides there are usually former prisoners from the Island itself, this was one of the most touching experiences ever. Just be prepared to be part of a large group there, but nevertheless there was plenty of time to ask questions and to see all the facilities. Definitely recommendable! Thanks to Sams Cultural Tours!

Great tour, worth the money

I pre booked this tour instead of booking the Robbin island and district 6 museum tour separately. I’m glad I did, guides were very informative and it was great to get into the thick of things rather than be a spectator. We even went to a township Sunday service - amazing
