Diamonds are the girls best friends - It was a very nice and interesting tour. You get an idea how difficult it is to get the diamonds out of the earth and the techniques are impressive.

Diamond Mining explained in detail! - Pastor was a fantastic guide..punctual..tour was very informative…I learned a lot about diamond mining. The town is very small but has a nice lunch cafe..they have a showcase with a few diamonds in them from the mine for sale..I now know the ins and outs of diamond mining in South Africa!

Fascinating and informative mine tour - One hour drive each way to Cullinan Diamond Mine. Two hour surface tour of the mine provided by a trained mine employee. During the tour we learned about the history of the mine, the extraction and processing of the famous Cullinan diamond ( largest in the world), and how diamonds are mined, processed, and graded at the mine. We walked across some of the mine property to view the older mining machinery as well as the massive open pit where diamonds were originally extracted. Mining operations are currently continued underground, but underground tours are no longer available for safety reasons. We found this to be an informative and educational tour.

Great day out. - I was the only one on the tour in a car with Pastor. We first drove to the Cullinan Diamond Mine from Johannesburg. Went on the mine tour had lunch in Cullinan. After that we drove to Pretoria and visited the sights there. The final stop was the Voortrekkers Monument a very impressive building. Dropped off back at my hotel in Johannesburg. Pastor is an excellent driver and guide with a good knowledge of South African history and current world events. Overall an enjoyable day out.

Sensational Tour !! - Today’s tour was one of the most amazing and informative tours of our lives !! We have used Viator on multiple trips in the past and they have all been good experiences. Today was by far the best thanks to our tour guide His knowledge of the history of South Africa and the entire region was exceptional!! He completely and patiently answered every single question we asked. I can’t say enough about him. Just an awesome experience

Terrific tour and guide - Well worth taking this trip if you're interested in South Africa history. Learnt so much, with the guide, Paster, sharing an extraordinary level of knowledge about what happened when and how it fitted with things viewed on the tour.

A Special Day of Mine - The tour was an amazing slice of history in South Africa. Mining is very important to South Africa and on this tour you can experience one of the most important Diamond mines in the world. It was very exciting to put on all the gear and dress like a real minor for a day. The tour takes you underground to view the inner workings of a diamond mine. I enjoyed every minute. The 2 tour guides were excellent. Pastor picked me up and gave me an excellent overview and history of the mine. At the mine Lee, a retired miner from the mine who had worked 41 years at the mine gave us the tour underground. He made sure we had all the safety information required and the once underground gave us a detailed explanation of the history and inner workings of the mine. I recommend this tour as one of the best tours I have ever been on. There is a lot of walking in heavy boots and sometimes wet slippery surfaces. It is a full on tour so it might not be suited for people with mobility problems.

Choose this tour and guide - Wonderful day spent underground in the mine and Petoria. Pastor was a wealth of knowledge, nice, and timely. As for guides, he was the best we’ve had in four days of touring.
