A drive through of the city to give you an idea of city life in the central business district, We also pass through Hatfield our University town.
Amazing experience with Shane. A good blend of professional and ethical values. He has good knowledge of history, etiquettes, places to visit, which normally other guides do not share with tourists.
Shane is very experienced guide,he took us round the place,and informed us even minute details ,he is well mannered and knowledgeable,we would recommend him to hire his services to anyone who wants to visit south Africa especially Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town,you will not find such a decent fellow as a guide,his driving skills are par excellence....
The day trip was outstanding. The 2 hour surface tour of the Cullinan diamond mine was good , and the little village interesting with great coffee. We saw the major sites of Pretoria with our guide’s stories about growing up there. The Voortrekker Monument and museum were very interesting with Shane’s commentary about the history and displays, and his inside knowledge. Great views from the top. Shane is an excellent guide , very pleasant all day and gave us lots of interesting history, facts and stories about South Africa. The drive passed quickly as he answered our questions. Good value, a highlight of my time in Johannesburg, highly recommended.,
It’s only a transfert ! The mine is stopping, we saw nothing. Be careful, IT’S NOT A UNDERGROUND TOUR When we reserved, we thought it was but no ! Don’t trust photos Shaine is a good guy.
We enjoyed visiting Cullinan mine with Shane. Everything was well organised and run. We had a nice lunch in nearby coffee shop suggested by Shane. It was a short, but enjoyable trip. We highly recommend this tour whilst staying in South Africa.
This was a truly outstanding tour. Cullinan (now Petra) Mines was very interesting and my guide was an excellent host - very friendly, personable and helpful. He deserves to be congratulated. The mine’s guide was also very knowledgeable. I have travelled around the world several times and found this tour amongst the very best.
What a fun tour and our driver Shane was great. The tour ended a little early and Shane went above and beyond driving us around showing us different sites.
We really enjoyed the surface and underground tour of the historic Cullinan diamond mine near Joburg, South Africa. The guide Leo was a former manager of underground mining and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The tour was easy physically and very informative. We really appreciate Petra allowing these tours to take place.
Thoroughly enjoyed getting underground at the mine.Shane was a great host, he confirmed pick up location and time in advance and then entertained us en route with lots of information about Johannesburg, Praetorian, and the history of mining in the area. Showed us around the mining town before we headed underground with Leigh who was clearly very knowledgeable about the mine operations. A very interesting day.
This was an amazing experience. Traveling more than 763 meters into the earth was fantastic! Knowing that all of the Crown Jewels were found in this active mine was incredible. We watched these hard-working men and women tirelessly dig and supply the world with beauty. My guide was very educated and you were able to purchase diamonds for incredibly cheap prices!
A very interesting day, where we learn a lot about the history of South Africa and its industrial and territorial conquest. Perfect for all history and art lovers, and for all curious in general.
Beautiful visit, very interesting! The guide is truly amazing, gives lots of advice and is super prepared! It was truly a pleasure getting to know Shane
