We took so many photos, the whole place is amazing. Such a rich history of Kimberley a town not just of diamonds but one of many firsts. The old town is such a treat, especially after the movie. Mr David you, my guy, are the Real Deal. Thank you so very much

Wonderful museum with an informative guide called David who was a blast - pardon the mining joke. My son wanted to see the Big Hole. A real treat for anyone passing through to Cape Town or the other way round to Johannesburg. Stay overnight for a rest.

I've been to the Big Hole before, more than 20 years ago with my parents. But this time I returned with my partner. We arrived just as the previous tour guide had started his tour, so we decided to grab a beer at a local restaurant and wander around the old town before rejoining the tourguide on his next outing. Entrance cost around 140 zar per person for the tour. The story of the big hole is essentially the story of Kimberley and capitalism. The big hole is the biggest man made hole made, ever. Purely for the extraction of diamonds, this period of time was called the Diamond Rush. The tour starts off with a very informative video, that reenacts all the major events of that time and that contextualises the Big Hole for those who will be viewing it. When I came here 25 years ago, the red bridge that is now the lookout point for the hole had not been built, so the experience for those traveling there now, post the De Beers Renovations of the aughts is completely different and definitely upgraded. If you find yourself in Kimberley, take an hour to go view the place that helped establish Kimberley as a town.

The actual price for this visit was ZAR140, and that will include a 20 min movie, a guide to show you around and you can walk the "old town". Its a brilliant museum and worth the price indeed. To get some knowledge about the hole itself, and the history of mining in Kimberley was fantastic, and the idea with the old houses to get an idea of miners lives was exiting. You should indeed treat yourself to this museum if you are in Kimberley. There are shops and refreshments at the museum.

As part of our blue train 🚂 journey from Pretoria to Cape Town a stop is made here. The largest man made dug diamond mine. All that work and human suffering for 3 tons of diamonds 💎 over the years. Our tour guide Suzanne was really good and we enjoyed our trip.

Daniel was our tour guide at the Big Hole and he made the experience unforgettable and unbelievably fun! He explained everything so well and made it feel as if we were living in that day and age! Would HIGHLY recommend him!

Our second visit to The Big Hole and second time on the tour. David our guide made it very entertaining and informative engaging all those on the tour with fact and fiction - a very funny man. The replica township is a must either before or after giving you that true insight of stepping back in time. The pub in the “town” centre offer excellent pub grub.

The Tour guide, David took us through a remarkable finding of the big hole which is a renowned world wide Diamond mining field that created work opportunities to the people of Southern Africa. David is more skilled on the presentations he made about the big hole wish him all the best on all the works of life.The Tour guide, David took us through a remarkable finding of the big hole which is a renowned world wide Diamond mining field that created work opportunities to the people of Southern Africa.

A must visit! Our tour guide, David, had a good sense of humor and made it an enjoyable experience for all ages. He even made sure to include the little ones so that everyone could enjoy it and get a great view of the big hole and the museum. This is a great experience for families, friends, couples and even people going solo

Grew up in Kimberley and have been to the big hole many times but never with a tour guide. And I must say with this visit our tourguide, David was excellent!! We really enjoyed it and even our 5 year old was listening and enjoying the experience. It is a bit expensive, but everything is clean and neat. Recommend updating your prices on The Big Hole website. A must visit!
