A day of Culture, Education and Fun - I'm so happy that I booked this tour. From start to finish it was delightful. Albert of Pure Diamond was great. He was engaging, informative, professional and friendly. The Lesedi Cultural Village tour was insightful, fun and lunch was enjoyable. The Cradle of Humankind tour was educational and a wonderful experience. Try it and you will not be disappointed.

Great day exploring the Cradle of Human Kind - We visited Maropeng & Lesedi Cultural village with Mr Solly as our guide. Both locations were excellent and so interesting. Mr Solly was a fantastic guide, very relaxed but knowledgeable and drove us safely around. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great trip!

My husband and I booked a... - My husband and I booked a tour “Cradle of HumanKind” and “Wonder Cave” yesterday. We had “Albert” as our guide, he was very informative and patient with us. Picking us up @ our hotel 1pm, returning @ 7pm. Thru out our tour “Albert” explained the culture and history of South Africa. I had read the other reviews and we found them all accurate, about this tour guide. We flew in from the United States 2 days ago and this was our first tour here. Thank you “Albert” for making it so special. We have felt safe and welcomed here. Hoping to have you as our tour guide again.

Lesedi Village - Loved the picturesque drive through the rolling hills enjoying the view. Upon arrival enjoyed a wonderful tour of the museum and a ride back in time of civilization. On arrival to the village what a wonderful experience being greeted with native singing and dancing. The journey through the village explained the differences in the numerous cultures.

Incredible Private Tour with a Knowledgeable, Professional Tour Guide - We went on a private tour of Johannesburg and Pretoria with Albert. The first day was so incredible that we hired him for an additional day. We wanted him for a third day, but he was not available. Albert is attentive and professional, has an incredible knowledge of the history and politic scene of the country, flora, fauna, peoples and their culture and traditions. Every where we traveled, it was apparent that he was well-known and respected in his profession. It was such a privilege to have this man as our guide because we felt safe and well taken care of throughout our tours.

The attractions of the... - The attractions of the tour were all very nice and interesting. Our guide, Gabriel, was very helpful and shared a lot of information. Unfortunately the car we traveled was not good. Old, small, no airconditioner (it is very hot in January) and the worst, there was no seat belt for the people on the seats behind. The tour was a big trip through highways and this is a very insecurity way to travel. When returning, the car begins to make some weird noises and we were really afraid of it could not bring us back to the hotel.

We were pulled over by... - We were pulled over by men who said they were police and they asked for our stamped passports. A photo of our passports was not sufficient. The driver had an expired vehicle registration. We suspect it was a scam and that they were looking for a bribe. Very scary! We would have appreciated more time at the Cradle for Humanity.

pick a different operator - I'm still on the tour right now while writing this review. Obviously not going well. Skipped portion of the first part of the tour and now also apparently running late to the second part of the tour.
