2 Different Experiences in One - Lesidi Cultural Village is a fun, intresting experience to learn about different African tribes and their life style. As someone who did not grow up in Africa, I learned a lot. The presentations are entertaining and the dancing is fantastic. Cradle of Humankind is another gem. This discovery and the museum have provided an update to the evolution of all of us and presented in an interesting way.

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 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...)

Tour was not completed, the vehicle was not safe and broke down in the middle of the road. I am waiting for a refund from the company - Right at the beginning the vehicle was late and the original guide was not present. We continued with little guidance until the first tour, where the original guide picked us up with a vehicle that was in no condition for use and safety. The vehicle broke down in the middle of the road, releasing a lot of smoke and we were afraid it would explode. The road was without a shoulder and we stayed in the sun for a few hours until local residents gave us water. We didn't make it to the second location!!!! The rescue arrived in a car for 5 people, but there were 5 of us, and there would only be room for 3 people (as there was already the driver of the vehicle and an unknown passenger). My wife came back on my lap and the van driver in the trunk of the car. Unfortunately, the experience was not good and I hope at the very least that we will be reimbursed, as it is the fairest way to return the part that was not fulfilled and compensate for the psychological distress we had!

Very disappointed... - From the start of our activity, the guide did not arrive on time and barely apologized. The first activity took place with little explanation/translation. When this was the case we didn't hear much (he only whispered without articulating). He was often on or on the phone. He left us alone for more than half of the activity and then said we were late when coming back to pick us up. Which means we missed 45 minutes of the next activity and this without apology from him or compensation. He forced us to pay for his meal without even informing us (which is the minimum). Very disappointed with the service, especially given the price. I really don't recommend. Fortunately we had other experiences with guides who were great!
