Informative and exploratory - Our Driver was superb, very helpful, prompt and friendly. The tours were informative. It is however very sad that an ex-political prisoner gave the tour of where he once was imprisoned. His contribution to the new South Africa is very valuable and he should be compensated much more than being a tour guide at his old prison
