It was a really interesting tour, Gabriel is a very knowledgeable guy providing an excellent insight. If you have available 4-5 hours, strongly recommended :)

Gabriel is super nice and funny. He gave detailed explanations of the spots and was patient in answering questions. He has good driving skills too!

I believe the tour is worth doing, especially considering the historical significance of Pretoria. The guide (possibly Solly--given the same Whatsapp number) and his driver were pleasant and provided a good amount of information about South Africa and the sites we visited. In particular, his guidance at the Voortrekker Monument was excellent—he was engaging, informative, and clearly passionate about the site. Both he and the driver were enjoyable to talk to throughout the day. However, I was disappointed by the latter part of the tour. At the Kruger Museum, Church Square, and the Union Buildings, the guide seemed preoccupied with personal matters and was far less engaged. At the Union Buildings, I had to take the initiative—choosing where to go and asking questions—because he offered little explanation or context. As a solo traveler paying a premium rate ($126), this was frustrating and made me question the value of the tour. If not for the memorable experience at the Voortrekker Monument, I would have considered it a waste of money. By the end, I found myself thinking I might have been better off just using Uber to explore the sites on my own.

Our tour guide Victor was excellent. We could experience the city through his lens. He and the CEO of the travel company, Solly accommodated our needs. Anna

Highly recommend. Pretoria is completely different from Johannesburg. If you want to know more about Voortrakkers (first Dutch pioneers), history of the first South African republics, Anglo-Boer wars and just to see great samples of 100+ years old building - this tour is for you. Big thanks to DJ Bobo- great guide giving a lot of details about historical places and above.

At first I wanna say that seeing Pretoria is an absolute must if you’re visiting Johannesburg. It will let you understand better the history and the culture of the South Africa. And now I’d love to say a special thanks to Solly. He’s not just a guide, he’s your travel companion! We had great conversations, he told me a lot of things I had no idea about, he knew an answer to every single question of mine. Such an enriching experience!

Had a fantastic day touring w Bobo to a combo tour. It went to the city of Praetoria and Cullinan diamond mine. He is a fantastic driver and guide and we were able to cover a lot during this day. Personable and friendly. Although these are meant to be small group tours it turned out I was the only one and find that they continued with this tour anyway. I am beyond greatful for this exclusive experience. I would not hesitate to use the company. Also Solly is great to work with and was able to book a last minute tour as I had an extra day. 10 stars out of 5.
