Amazing experience - I saw and learned lots of things thanks to Pastor. Amazing experience that enabled me to know more about Pretoria, Cullinan mine and more generally about South Africa !

Great Guide! - Our guide KG was so knowledgeable and shared her passion for history with us. While the surface tour of the mine was ok the Pretoria tour was fantastic!

Interesting and informative day out - This was a great fun and informative day out. Pastor our guide collected us by car for the trip. Pretoria was very interesting, helped by detailed commentary from Pastor and the Voortrekker monument is just an amazing building. We were unable to drive to the Union building due to multiple police roadblocks. The diamond mine was eye opening and the guide at the mine was also very knowledgable and informative. We were surprised that an alcohol check was required by visitors, in the same way it is for staff at the mine. Great food at the Lemon Tree cafe in Cullinan after the tour before being taken back to our hotel.

Interesting day out - This tour was excellent. Pastor our guide was very knowledgable and gave a great historical perspective to our tour.

Beautiful day ! - Beautiful day discovering Pretoria and mines; Pastor was a competent and friendly guide. To be recommended

Worth doing - We took a full day tour from Johannesburg. Our driver, Pastor, who brought us around Pretoria was extremely knowledgeable about the history of South Africa and Pretoria in particular. He was a very safe driver and was very patient with all our questions. The Cullinan Mine part of the tour was very interesting and it was great to see the models of the various famous diamond etc. in the museum. However, we were not impressed with the guide. She could not answer any of our questions and had no more information than we could read in the museum etc, disappointing. We were also a little disappointed with the selection of diamonds in the shop though the guy there was very pleasant, helpful and informative . Overall the trip was value for money and we were happy with it and would recommend it.

The guide Kgoagelo... - The guide Kgoagelo Mogotlane was punctual and very knowledgeable about the city and its history. The guide took care of our safety. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit Kruger's house. Everything went as planned and thanks to the guide's good driving, we made it to the concert on time and safely. If you are spending a few days in Johannesburg we recommend this tour.

Pretoria and Cullinan Mine Tour - The Cullinan mine tour is informative. Only my wife and I were in the touring group. The Petra Diamonds tour guide showed us the facts about diamond mining and answered our questions. Our tour guide, Pastor, picked two of us from the hotel, brought us to a few attractions in Pretoria and then brought us to the mine. During the driving time, Pastor introduced some intersting facts and answered our questions about the political and economic situations as well as historical and cultural issues. He is knowledgeable. I would like to give him five stars. The reason why I give only four-star to the whole tour is as follows. On the document provided by Viator, along with the booking reference number, it showed the date and a time of 8:00 AM. In my mind, I assumed (by mistaken) that we would be picked up and sent to a gathering location, from where the tour would start at 8 AM. When we arrived at the hotel two days before the tour, before we entered our room, I asked the receptionist to help me get in touch with Mhlanganis Travel and Tours and ask for the pick-up time. The hotel receptionist called and asked the tour operator. She said that the other end of the line, with a name, said the pick-up time was 8:30 am. As I entered the hotel room and checked the email messages in my Notebook, there was a message from Viator, time stamp at 5:28 pm. The Mhlanganisi Travel and Tours told me to wear closed shoes and bring our passports. I answered at 9:06 pm to confirm the requirement and also asked “What time are you coming to pick us up?” I have not received the answer or any other message from the tour operator since then. I felt uncomfortable about that late pick-up time. So, on the next day, which was the day before the touring day, I asked another receptionist to check again. I heard that the time was eight o’clock. The hotel receptionist tried to explain my question and was shocked by the wording used by the operator in the touring office. She slowly put back the phone and said “He’s so rude.” We felt uneasy about this incident. However, the tour guide did show up on time at 8 AM to pick us up for the interesting tour.

Cullinan Tour - The tour is awesome. I like the Cullinan Surface tour the most. The presentor at the mine is good. Our tour guide/driver-Pastor is knowledgeable and with sense of humour.

Avoid this tour operator - Tour guide could not be bothered to wait 2 minutes in hotel reception for us and left without us. I had to payout more money to someone else to take us. I received a confusing Text night before from another tour operator leading me to believe my tour began at 9am and not 8am as previously indicated. I have asked for a refund without success.
