We had a half day tour with Ali. The experience was great. Ali is super friendly and helpful. We love the time spending with him. He is also very knowledgable in the history between Africaaners and British colonial influence, and how did these link to the uprising in SOWETO (that we visited in another tour the day before). He makes us understand more about the historical links between these events, and the current situation in Joburg.

I was so happy to be with a female guide. She was superb and took me around places. She was well versed with the History and told me complete details. Highly recommended.

We found this through Google and can say it was great. We were collected by Tahbong who was informative throughout the day. We visited the Diamond Mines at Cullinan first which was fascinating. Moving then to The Voortrekker monument which celebrated the trek from Cape Down to Pretoria of the Dutch trying to escape English ruling. The monument was something to behold and Tahbong our guide told us of the blood river war with the native Zulu tribe. We had quick bite to eat at the lovely cafe there before heading into Pretoria. Next stop was Paul Kruger house museum followed by going to the Union Building Gardens where we saw the giant Nelson Mandela statue. Our guide has tended to our needs and wishes all day and been thoroughly knowledgeable. He has pointed buildings and landmarks out and has been a fountain of not just facts but stories. Would highly recommend
