Our driver and tour guide , Oupa, gave us an amazing tour because he gave us a very all-round explanation of the entire history of South Africa. He was also willing to share answers to whatever questions we had, which was much appreciated.
It was indeed a memorable trip that we have experienced with John. He is very attentive and knowledgeable and was able to share fascinating historical and cultural insight passionately. The pace of the travel that he planned for the trip was perfect without feeling rush and also not missing a beat that what we have to cover. John you have created a true memorable experience for our trip.
Great half-day Tour with Oupa! Can only recommend!
Turned out to be a private tour for my wife and me. Great overview of the city, and uncrowded stops at all the key points of the tour. Hilo was personable and very knowledgeable.
Our guide, Tsholo was fantastic. Very attentive, and knowledgeable. We had great conversations, learned a lot and really enjoyed our tour.
Had a great trip with Tsholo! Very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend this tour for easy of mobility. Each place offered a unique insight into the history of South Africa
Our tour guide Tsholo was fabulous!!! He picked us up promptly at our hotel and happily greeted us. We drove in a very comfortable vehicle and saw many sites of interest. Tsholo was very knowledgeable and all the history was so interesting. So much more interesting than I thought it would be. We never felt rushed and highly recommend this tour!! Thank you Tsholo for a wonderful afternoon!!!
The tour guide was so informative. He answered all of our questions. We had great discussions. We saw some very important historical sites Our guide Tsholo was excellent
We had a great time with a lot of really interesting information of the history of South Africa. Our great guide Tsholo was very informative! Thanx!
I really enjoyed my day in Pretoria with Tsholo. He knew a lot about the history and all the places we visited and I felt safe at all times. I highly recommend the tour with him!
I so loved the Joberg & Soweto tour I booked a tour with this company again. I was fortunate to get Tsholo again on a private tour and we explored Pretoria. This was the story before the creation of Joberg and it pulled the day before history together. I was 100% in great hands and listened to the amazing story of how two republics became South Africa.
Great experience, learned so much about the history and legacy of South Africa development. Impressive sightseeing and inspiring stories of the region. Would absolutely recommend this tour and super guide Thsolo! Thanks a lot!
I wanted to see Pretoria again after almost 20 years since my last visit. Well, it was not what I had expected, so I was a bit disappointed with the trip (but not with Stephenson Adventures). Nelson, our tour guide, provided excellent service, but the city seemed less clean and safe than I remembered. There were squatters near the Union Building, which was quite different from my previous experience. Additionally, Kruger’s house, though interesting to see, requires urgent investments; otherwise, it might collapse. Freedom Park was pleasant, but there wasn’t much to see. The highlight of the day was definitely the Voortrekker Monument, which left a lasting impression. In my opinion, if you find yourself with a spare day in Johannesburg, consider rather booking a hotel in SunCity for an extra day.
To start, Steve picked us up from my hotel and provided me with some snacks and a drink. Steven is very professional and attentive in his job with his clients. It was an unforgettable encounter during my stay in Johannesburg and Pretoria where he guided me and showed me around during these two full days. He is simply brilliant! Everything was organized and scheduled. At my request He was friendly and very good at explaining all the details and history you need to know for Johannesburg and Pretoria during the two day tour. Driving through the heart of Joburg and Pretoria was amazing. The car was very comfortable, including the water bottles and the air conditioning! These two day trips are highly recommended to all with Steven who is the best guide I have met during my many visits to Joburg he will remain my guide at each visit. Review of: Pretoria and the Elephant Sanctuary and Johannesburg Exclusive Guided Day Tour in Magnificent VIP By dint of knowing us both over the days, we have become friends. He provided me with information about places to visit beforehand so I knew where and what I was going to visit, and he showed me places off the tourist trail, I saved the best for the real experience. I will renew with him in a next trip very soon for 15 days with him in VIP for Kruger and Kwazulu Natal
The historical nature of entire and the beauty city. And the fact that my guide knew so much. I feel capable of telling any one who hasn't been to Pretoria the history of the city.
We were traveling with Oupa in Pretoria. Great leadership and fabulous historical explanations. Thank you very much! We are looking forward to the next tour with Oupa.
Excellent tour with oupa .He explained everything fantastic, especially for me in clear English. I'm totally thrilled. Can I recommend to 100..
The tour was great! Oupa showed us a lot and explained it. He took time for every demand and every photo. We can only recommend it to anyone! Mega nice and informative trip!
Our guide Tsholo picked us up at the hotel. We visited Pretoria’s sights, including the Voortrekker Monument which he knew very much about and which gave us a large portion of South African history. Through this guide tour, the stay gave us so much more!
