Culturally rich, the lesedi village was phenomenal. - Our guide was super knowledgeable, friendly and patient. The ride to the Cradle of mankind was beautiful, and peaceful.

Day trip near Johannesburg - Our Drive there and back was beautiful. Albert is a very careful driver so I felt safe in the car. He shared historical information about South Africa with us. I learned a lot. The cradle was good, a bit disappointing because caves weren’t open. I knew that ahead of time though. The village was great fun! I recommend this tour service. Very inexpensive and trustworthy.

Great Experience and Learning. Higjly recommended - I really enjoyed watching daughters learn some of the African history and immerse themselves in the culture. Also, enjoyed the crudle of Human kind tour as it was very informational. Tour guide (Albert) was also very knowledgeable and answered any questions had along with the information and stories provided.

Great experience with Pure Diamonds Tours - Cradle of mankind and Lesedi cultural village, are two unique places every body should visit once in Johannesburg. I was lucky enough to take this tour with Pure Diamonds Tours (PDT), and they made my visit a unique experience! Strongly recommend PDT for your future visit to these places.

Great tour company. - Took a chance on this tour as it was not yet rated but the company overall had good reviews. So glad we did! Our tour guide was so nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The Lesedi village was great, especially the show at the end. The caves are closed in the cradle so they offered alternatives including the lion park but we wanted to see the museum. Museum was interesting but not overwhelmingly great. Overall, I’d recommend it for a day if you have time but not a priority. Great company and service!

Great tour, just need improvements - The trip is great, worth the time. The guide is very good, and provide tons of information and even take lots of photos for you. But just a few comments for the company to make the tour experience more better: - please upgrade the car, coz safety issue (e.g. cracking wind glass, the seat belt is not working properly) - should make sure the GPS is working (or the guide knows how to get there) coz we waste more than an hour for just finding the way to the site (guide is using my phone for leading the way...)
