The guide lives and grew up in Pretoria so there will be lots of interesting stories of his school years 40 years ago and playing sports for the national and provincial teams. The Voortrekker monument is not only beautiful, but it's also very interesting and the guide will be able to give you the history of South Africa and answer all questions about the past. The new museum as a big hit with original artifacts from the 1800's. This is the history of the Dutch immigrants who trekked through South Africa fighting many wars and eventual opening Johannesburg and surrounding areas to the GOLD RUSH Our first President of South Africa Paul Kruger shows of his house as an example of the rich in those days. The Union Buildings is a Herbert Baker designed building and a must for anyone visiting Pretoria and South Africa. Come see the beautiful huge Statue of Mr. Nelson Mandela The tour gives you a fantastic historical and cultural experience and is a whole lot of fun in Beautiful Pretoria

Shane was knowedgable and friendly. Tour was shorter than described. Shane did drive us to the airport for an extra 400 rand.

The guide was excellent, very informative and friendly and the museum was really good and worth a visit. I rated it low because it’s the only place we visited, if it wasn’t for the guide it would hzz as be been lower.

Shane is an excellent tour guide who was very easy to get on with from the start of our tour. A very interesting chap who is also full of information about the history of Pretoria and the sites. We would highly recommend this tour as you get to see the highlights of Pretoria (at your pace) including the very interesting Voortrekker monument and the Union building with the impressive Nelson Mandela statue. We were very happy that Shane was our guide & very much enjoyed our tour of Pretoria.

Shane was a great tour guide. I travelled solo and had a great time. The Voortrekker Monument was fascinating. Loved going there and driving through Pretoria and hearing the history was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip. Really enjoyed the day! Thanks!

We decided to visit Pretoria and had an enjoyable tour with Shane. We started off at the Voortrekker Monument. It is mostly curated from the Dutch perspective, but there is a lot to see and the collections are very nicely done. Next, we visited a South African military museum. At the Union Buildings, there was a wonderful photo opportunity near the gigantic statue of Nelson Mandela. Shane also took us to the embassy row, and he talked about his role in helping to implement the security of an important building. We ended our tour with a visit to the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Shane spoke with a security guard who allowed us to view the inside of the stadium, and we took a few pictures. Thank you very much Shane for a memorable tour!

Shane drove all the way to Johannesburg from Pretoria, where he is based, just to host me on a tour back in Pretoria! He's a true lover of South Africa & is unabashedly proud of the culture & landscape of this country, especially so towards his home city of Pretoria. He is very knowledgeable & insightful about the history & background of the city, & is willing to go the extra mile (literally!) to show the beauty of Pretoria through his eyes. I highly recommend going on his Pretoria tours, as well as the other tours he offers for the nature reserves in the country. 10/10!

Shane thank you so much again for showing me around in your beautiful country. I was travelling solo. Shane was absolutely professional and I felt so safe and comfortable the entire time, it was just the two of us on the tour. I highly recommend having Shane as your tour guide. I can't wait for my next trip. :) I did my tour at the end of 2023. Better later than never with my review ;) Hope you have been well. Cheers, Vivian
