          A fascinating and eye-opening experience
          KG was my guide and somehow I was the only one who booked this day so I got a private tour! What an experience. I can’t believe how much was fit into one day. If you’re looking to get a glimpse into the history of South Africa - the good and the bad- and see the vast array of differing living conditions in Pretoria and Johannesburg this is the tour for you! I was born in South Africa, but moved away at a young age so I did not get a chance before to learn all this. It was emotional to hear and see, but also learned how far South Africa has come since the worst days and am hopeful for the future. KG is extremely knowledgeable and had so much more to share beyond what is at the museums/monuments you go to. As there is so much information to learn, I found hearing it all from KG then see the apartheid museum made it so much easier to connect all the events. Anything that I didn’t understand or had further questions about she also happily answered. Would recommend to anyone coming through this area. Including locals (my family I was staying with had not heard of some of the things I learned). Lastly, I’ll mention that as a solo female traveller I felt completely safe the entire time. Thank you!!

          An amazing day tour to Pretoria, the capital city of South Africa.
          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.

          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.

        Pastor was the guide and he picked us up from our location & dropped us back after the trip. Lunch was also provided. He was an amazing guide and took care of our needs throughout the trip. The safari tour itself was way beyond our expectations. We gotto see many wild animals & were super thrilled. I would recommend this trip and pastor to anyone wanting to visit Pilanesberg Forest! I’d give him 5/5 👏🏻
