The tour was great, we had a really fun time! Our guide Tinashe was well informed about the historical sites! I particularly loved the Train Musuem, where we got to view Cecil Rhodes’ personal train. I would recommend the tour to anyone visiting Bulaway

The Natural History Museum should be deleted from the tour. At the US $10 admission price, it simply isn't worth it. They should have paid me to go there! The balance of the tour is okay. The guide is very good, very knowledgeable. The Railway Museum is a highlight of the tour. Also, the Nesbitt Castle is excellent, and it's a nice thing to enjoy at the end of the tour. In conclusion, the guide is very good, and the tour is okay, but the Natural History Museum is a rip off, and I wouldn't recommend going there at all.
