The tour was an amazing slice of history in South Africa. Mining is very important to South Africa and on this tour you can experience one of the most important Diamond mines in the world.
It was very exciting to put on all the gear and dress like a real minor for a day. The tour takes you underground to view the inner workings of a diamond mine. I enjoyed every minute. The 2 tour guides were excellent. Pastor picked me up and gave me an excellent overview and history of the mine. At the mine Lee, a retired miner from the mine who had worked 41 years at the mine gave us the tour underground. He made sure we had all the safety information required and the once underground gave us a detailed explanation of the history and inner workings of the mine.
I recommend this tour as one of the best tours I have ever been on. There is a lot of walking in heavy boots and sometimes wet slippery surfaces. It is a full on tour so it might not be suited for people with mobility problems.
