- Get a meaningful introduction to Pretoria without committing to a full day
- Gain a deeper understanding of South Africa's political history with commentary

The voortrekkers museum with the beautiful view over Pretoria and surrounding gardens. And the super friendly guide Ben Modisane, he explained everything clearly and calm. He even brought me after the tour for my Hotel to the train station. Super.

Well organized for touring the most important aspects of Pretoria.
We were alone in the car with the guide, which is very comfortable.
