  • Voortrekker Monument - A major attraction on this tour is the Voortrekker Monument. This monument is of great significance to many Afrikaans speaking South Africans, there it stands for Afrikaner Nationalism. The monument is in the shape of a big stone cube. The interior walls depict the story of the Great Trek, a mass movement of Afrikaaner Boers who resented British rule.

We visit Church Square with prominent buildings like the Ou Raadsaal, Palace of Justice and Capital Theatre.

Pretoria half day tour - Our guide for this tour was Cpho (hopefully I spelled his name correctly). He was a wonderful guide, shared so much information and was fun to tour with. Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience !

Great tour with Khutso - We really appreciated our tour with Khutso. We were the only 2 attendees, so we had a private tour! Learning the history of the Dutch in South Africa was enriching. One just doesn’t get this history in detail without traveling to the site.

Half day tour of Pretoria from Johannesburg - I was picked up at my hotel by my guide, Sesso. He's a very personable gent who truly knows the area, culture, and history really well. I really learned a great deal about the history as well the politics past and present in the area. Sesso really made sure that I was able to interact and speak with several of the locals. This enhanced experience even further. I enjoyed seeing the sites around J'burg and Pretoria and learning so much. I absolutely would recommend Sesso as guide.

It happens so that I was... - It happens so that I was only one person in the group, however the tour wasn’t cancelled. Cool, because it was my only opportunity to visit Pretoria during that trip. So without any extras I had a private tour (wow!) and an excellent one. My guide Khutso was perfect, very knowledgeable and helpful, thanks to him for a great day.

Pretoria was worth a visit - We had a very interesting drive out of Joburg to Pretoria. Nice just to see some countryside too. The Voortrekker Monument was worth seeing although the Afrikaaners staffing it did not seem like a happy bunch. After bring greeted with effusive welcoming smiles by so many South African people, white and colored up to then, it wS strange to see a group of folk who didn't smile at all, sad really. The Government building wS also something to see and the town square. Only rather boring stop was Paul Krugers' old home but that might be because we've seen so many pioneer type homes in other countries that they all look similar.

Nice experience even not being able to get off the car in some points - Was nice except for not being able to go out of the car in some points due to safety reasons. A bit expensive for what was offered.
