This tour company did a great job. This tour company was very reliable, on time, and took good care of us. However, Marupeng is not really a museum.

Our tour was excellent because of the knowledge and personality of Charmaine. Sites can be seen with anyone but the experience memorable because of the guide. All the amenities we could ask for were provided and questions answered no matter what we asked. We also had a second tour with Charmaine which was excellent, informative, enjoyable and memorable.

Transport: minibus, AC, 1L water, driver on time. Sterkfontain Cave: group of 8 people, ~1h walking in the cave, very good guide. (FYI: A claustrophobic lady among us enjoyed it as well.) Visitor Centre: plenty of interesting information, BUT presented in an quite annoying manner. About the same sound intensity as the dance floor of a nightclub, multiple automated narrating voices interfering, a ~5min "boat ride" like in a cheap amusement park. Still I enjoyed refreshing my rusty school knowledge about evolution. In the building you walk around at your own pace, for me ~1h, only few people around.
