With Shane in Johannesburg is like to be in safe hands - 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.

Outstanding tour of diamond mine, Pretoria and Voortrekker Monument - 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.,

Excellent tour from beginning to end - 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.

Blue diamonds - 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.

A great underground tour of the famous Cullinan diamond mine in South Africa - 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.

Tour to Cullinan mine - 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.

So disappointed - 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.
