It was very moving to hear about the experiences of the political prisioners imprisoned at Robben Island. We felt the Diamond tour was more geared to marketing the products on offer and less about the history of diamond mining. In reality the diamonds and gold played a very key role in the political history of the country. Our guide was very well informed and willing to change and adapt the tour to suit our needs.
