          Great Tour and Experience, perfect guide
          We only had one day to visit Johannesburg and Pretoria and this visit was just what we needed. Pastor is an excellent guide and person. He answered all our questions and gave us a lot of information. We started visiting Pretoria then Soweto and Johannesburg. We had lunch in the cafeteria of the Apartheid Museum. I would like to thank Pastor for everything. He did a great job and if we ever come back to South Africa it will be a pleasure to do more visits with him again. Highly recommended tour.

          Worthy to visit the Safari park
          It is only 1 hour trip to the Safari park. It is worthy to go there for visiting lions. There are also feeding and photo time with giraffes. The souvenirs at the park is also great. We would like to thanks guide tour Pastor for bringing us to the trip.

          We were able to see so much more than we intended! We were also able to get lunch at a good restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience.

          Under Impressed
          I'm not sure which half day tour we got, but it wasn't as described. The guide said we couldn't go to Capital Hill, as they were having a concert there that night 6/25/23 and it was closed off. Didn't go to Mary Fitzgerald Square, as didn't drive over Mandela cable bridge. Didn't spend an hour at Carlton Center, but just drove by it. We were dropped off and spent 2 hours at the Apartheid Museum, which I had no interest in seeing. I'd have rather gone to Gold Reef City Casino and amusement park across from the museum. I was in Jo'burg 35 years ago for half a day and saw much more at that time, even a ballet that evening. Thought it was odd that the guide asked if we were from a "red" or "blue" state and later if we were a "couple".

          Amazing, Deep and Informative tour
          This was my first visit to South Africa and I was very keen to have an in-depth tour. Pastor is a very enthusiastic guide and his knowledge of the history of Johannesburg, Pretoria and Soweto will immerse you in the stories he shares. Every time we pass a major attractions, buildings or even roadside graffitis, Pastor is able to bring to life the histories, culture and interesting stories behind it all. The tour is also very well organised and the whole tour is safe. If you are new to South Africa and don't want a simple tourist attraction, but need a guide with a wealth of knowledge of culture, history, and even politics, economics and local stories, I highly recommend Pastor and thank you for your company and sharing throughout the day. I hope to be able to have the opportunity to have you to introduce more interesting places in the future!

          Fabulous
          The city tour was excellent! Our guide and driver (KG) was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, interesting and able to answer all our questions. We were picked up where we were staying and dropped back at the end of the tour which was very convenient. Highly recommend this tour!

          The guide and chauffeur, a lady under the name of kgaogelo (KG), was cool and very plaisant as well as an excellent driver. The tour was well designed and perfectly timed, a lot of information was provided as we progressed. I strongly recommend this tour, KG is top!

          Our stay in Johannesburg
          We stayed in Johannesburg for a few nights and we did some day tours through this company and I would definitely recommend it if you’re thinking of it! (We did the cradle of human kind, Pretoria, lion park and rhino park tours with them) Our guides were very informative and answering all our questions. They were also incredibly accommodating - we decided at the last minute on the last day that we wanted to also visit another attraction. Despite it being very last minute - they arranged it for us with no complaints at all. We really appreciated their flexibility - it made our trip so much better! - our two guides were Pascar and KG, thank you to them!

          Comprehensive and informative, comfortable private tour
          Pastar provided an excellent tour! I only had the day, and we covered Joberg, Pretoria, Soweto and the apartheid museum. It was a very comprehensive tour, and it was a very comfortable way of getting around all the cities. Pastar is so knowledgeable, and he gave so much history and detail in the car and at each destination.

          Apartheid Museum and Soweto tour are a must-see
          The Apartheid Museum is an absolute must-see experience. A visit to Johannesburg is not complete without a tour of Soweto and Mandela's home. Our guide, "Pastor", was knowledgeable about the detailed history of apartheid.

        Pretoria is a very beautiful city, especially when the Jacarandas are in full bloom in October. There are numerous historical buildings and museums to explore and fantastic restaurants to enjoy.

        We advise our guest to book in time so that we also arrange our guides to pick them up but if you book your tour 2 hours before the start of the tour and expect us to pick you up,we are a tour operator and we must be able to plan our tours. There is an option to cancel the booking on Viator if we cannot honour that booking but please to avoid unnecessary reviews guest need to book their tours on time to avoid disappointment. It's not our fault that you book the tour 2 hours and expect us to run to Pretoria to pick you up,it's unfair to us. Make arrangements on time. Did you notify us since you book your tour at short notice. Make arrangements on time next time to avoid cancellation.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
