Great day in Sun City - We had a great day in Sun City! Willy, our Guide, is excellent. Available and friendly. He taught us a lot about South Africa, about Sun City. We had listened well to take the quiz at the end of the day. The children loved the little cruise on the lake, the lost city, the beach. The scenery was super beautiful. Next time we will stay there several days! 😊

Sun City Tour - Sun City was beautiful and I am so glad I did the tour. However, the company I used was awful. 1. The departure time was said to be 30-60 minutes before 6:30 am. I never got a confirmation of the time. I left 4 voice mails and three emails on the Sunday I got into Johannesburg. Even if they don’t work on Sunday’s, they had weeks before to let me know a time. I got up at 4:30 to be ready for a 5:30 departure. At 6;19 am I got a message that they would pick me up at 6:30. They arrived at 7:00. 2. I had been waiting an hour and a half, I was thirsty. Bottled water was to be furnished in an air conditioned vehicle. There was no water, I asked if I could stop and get some. I paid for a bottle and thought I would be nice and got the driver one too. 3. We head out and I find out there is no air conditioning! 4. On the way back I am dying in the back seat and I have about a half bottle of water that is hot. The driver asked if he could stop and I said sure as I needed to stretch my legs. He goes in and buys water for himself, not even asking me if I wanted any. 5. He got lost on the way to my hotel and we drove for 30 minutes. I told him that was my hill behind us. He finally turned around and we started towards it. 6. He said he didn’t want to take his car up the steep hill, so I had to get out and WALK up the hill to my hotel. I was baked and thirsty, and I literally drug myself to my hotel. Mount Zion tours is terrible. They advertise one thing and did not deliver!
