Excellent Day in Pretoria - I had a wonderful tour of the city of Pretoria with my tour guide Cypo. He was pleasant. He arrived on time and was a great driver. He was very knowledgeable about the history of South Africa and about the sites in Pretoria. During my tour, I visited places like Paul Kruger‘s home, the Voortrekker monument, the Church Square, and other government monuments. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Couldn’t have asked for a better guide - Excellent first introduction to the history of South Africa, and although the tour was focused on the history of the Boers, our guide (Lebo) explained this in the context of other prominent groups at the time.

Fascinating tour of an active diamond mine. - Loved this tour. Our guide was really informative and friendly. Seeing the old and new processing plants and the Big Hole, where the famous Culinan Diamond was found was amazing. Whilst mining isn’t the most eco friendly of activities, approx 80% of the diamonds found are for industry, so are key. They are also able to reprocess 1000’s tonnes of previously mined earth which modern technology can extract mostly industrial diamonds from. The visit to the shop after the tour was also extremely informative. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour, Very informative - Very informative tour! Lebo was an excellent guide, very welcoming and willing to answer any question. You learn so much about how Pretoria came to be. There is so much knowledge to absorb about the country of South Africa and the city of Pretoria and he did an excellent job. Definitely recommend, especially if you get Lebo!

Amazing trip - It was an incredible expérience ! Visiting the diamand'mines was huge. The guide gave us lot of explications about the process. I appreciate it. And then we went to Pretoria. That was fabulous. The history of the buildings, all the symbols, the dialects, the guide Timoke broke down everythings. We have switched from surprises to surprises. My head is full of history thank you Azalé and thank you Timoke.
