Well organized tours - I made 2 trips with Solly in October, 2022! Very well organized. I visited Pretoria and also the Cradle of Civillization. Both places deserved the visit! So do not hesitate to contact the company if you have some free time in Johannesburg!

Great tour - Had a great time visiting Pretoria today. Solly is a very friendly knowledgeable guide. I was picked up and dropped off at the hotel. Unfortunately pick up was a little late due to traffic but Solly made sure to contact me to let me know he would be a bit later. Great tour when you want to see the highlights in Pretoria! Solly is a very enthusiastic guide which made the tour even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend booking this (or other tours) with this company!

Great Tour! - This was the second tour that I took with Solly. I really enjoyed seeing the sites of Pretoria. In particular, I enjoyed getting to the Voortrekker monument where I was greeted with both history and a panoramic view.
Overall would highly recommend this tour!

A Fantastic Day out in Pretoria! - Had a fantastic day out (8th Feb) with Solly to take in the sights of Pretoria. It was a very informative day learning about the history of South Africa & Pretoria. I would highly recommend this tour and will be using the tour company again.

Visiting Pretoria and its sights - This was a lovely tour with a very knowledgeable guide who accompanied me throughout the tour. He allowed me time in each location to wander and take as many photos as I wanted without rushing me through. The tour was not as long as advertised (6 to 7 hours); we were actually finished in 4 hours which allowed me to do other things later in the afternoon.

Pretoria has limited tourist sights - Victor our guide was very good & informed on history & politics & current affairs... Pretoria sights are however very limited as there is only the Voortrekker monument & Paul Kruger house which is not worth visiting & outside view of Union building... So 2 - 3 hours is enough

Vortrekker was worth the trip - Vortrekker Monument was fantastic. Kruger house was ok, but badly maintained.
Pity that safety prevents to leave the car downtown.
Huge set-back that the Union was closed due to some previous demonstrations making the tour a half day rather than full day.
The guide was good - very skilled and fun to be with and not to blame for the shortened version.
