An interesting tour. Guide was very informative. Safety first and you have a chance to buy a stone from the source.

Fantastic underground tour! George, our tour guide, has been working at the mine for 40 years and has excellent experience and knowledge.

Gorgeous little town with lots of interesting things to see and buy. Worthwile spending a day with family or friends. Many restaurants to choose from. Piacere Italian Restaurant...best pizza and pasta ever. Will definitely go back!

I was extremely disappointed with the underground tour. George, our tour guide, was extremely grumpy and not people friendly at all. He was whispering ag yisis under his breath whenever we didnt understand anything. I would rather go with the surface tour. Our surface tour guide was much more friendly and I learnt more with the surface tour than with the underground tour... The underground tour was also cut an hour short for some reason?

Excellent, informative, recommended for all to visit

The surface tour led by Grace was wonderful and insightful. A wonderful 2 hours.

Enjoyed the history tremendously

A prior booking will save you a disappointment. Two of us arrived for the 12 noon tour but by then with no tourists the tour guides had already left.

Great, informative tour with a real miner.

These folks really were a great help. My travel into Pretoria was delayed and they helped me move my tour to the next day.The tour itself was great. Seeing a working diamond mine is incredibly cool and a rare opportunity. Guide was incredible. Worked in the mine for over three decades and incredibly knowledgeable. Also the humor and good spirit that he injected into the tour was fantastic.The underground mine portion was incredible. Highly recommend the tour, make sure to book ahead!

Very informative

Close to JHB! Nice vibe!! Great place to chill!!

It was really great getting the opportunity to do the underground tour. We kind of booked last minute but the staff were very friendly and willing to assist. You could see that they really know their stuff and show a lot of passion for their job, so the tour was very interesting. Unfortunately since it was on a public holiday the mine was busy with some maintenance work so we couldnt complete the full tour. But the organizers made up for it by giving us a bit of a surface level tour for free.

Went there for a school excursion, very interesting and it taught me a lot about the history of that mine.Unfortunately we didnt get to go inside the mine which was truly disappointing for all of us and we had a good time afterwards at the restaurants but the service was really bad because one of us didnt get our order and we had to leave before we could eat.

Wow! Wow! Wow! To understand the history and economy of South Africa, this tour is a must. Our remarkable guide, Lee, had 40years work experience in this very unique place. There was no question, economic geographical, technical or mining related, that he could not answer. Lee is complete fundi , as we say in SA, and a real asset to this tour company. It is hard to describe what it feels like to be underground: a secret city of vast airy caverns, criss-crossed with narrow guage railway lines and everywhere echoing with the beeps and bangs of production. It was not claustrophobic but you need a medium level of fitness for a good amount of walking in full mine gear. Its a bucket list adventure and worth every penny. My only criticism was the mess of overalls and muddy socks and shoes left in the change room from a tour the day before. It made a very bad impression at the start of what turned into a fabulous four hours

Great mine tours. Worth going there and having a look at the place where the biggest diamond ever was found.

Very interesting however there is no tour guides and the payment is R5.00 per person. They have very interesting objects and descriptions for everything

The birth of Diamonds

Very interesting experience. Really worth visiting.

I live going back in time. Visit is interesting

Amazing tour. The tour guides were very informative and friendly. I gave an extra star because of the wonderful people we did the tour with.

Firstly I must say Cullinan Diamond mine itself is a must see. The guy at reception is very rude to begin with.We do our booking through the internet.And actually there is 2 different tour companies but only 1 of them got authority to go undermine. But that was sorted out. The tour guide didnt introduce himself so we dont know the old guys name. The whole tour was like running around from one side to another,he didnt explain to the group what is actually going on or interact with the group.If we ask questions we didnt get proper answers. He is a very grumpy old man. Sadly we visited the mine but I think you will learn more from Google,than the tour itself.I truly think the money you spend is not worth the tour experience.

For people that are interested in geological project. Is this the place to be. Historical interested people will love this place.

Was a nice tour but bikes needed some attention

Iterresting tours above and below ground with knowledgable guides

It tells me how much and what i will need to see and the availability

Very interesting. Knowledgeable guide. Be prepared to walk....

Our tour guide was brilliant in his facts and story telling about the area and in and outs of the mine. Got much more than I expected, very interesting

Excellent experience and worthwhile to do. Go for the best they have to offer

Very informative experience. Lovely little area.

Very educational. A must experience.

How wonderful to be able to see a real working mine, made possible by a retired mining guy who could make it safe and share his knowledge - a really fabulous tour.

Something different for the kids to see. You can only do the surface tour with young kids - you need to be over 16, to be allowed on the underground tour. The initial exhibit area is a bit eclectic and neglected. The guide was helpful and engaging. Once youve entered the mine (in an open Safari viewing vehicle), you may not exit the vehicle. Security is their biggest concern. You drive by the old industrial units, hear about the new units, and drive near to the edge of the enormous open cast scar of a mine - its wide and deep ! The kids were given little pieces of processed kimberlite to play with (so they could hunt their own diamonds), and they got to see a resin model of the uncut Cullinan diamond. Overview: the tour is a somewhat interesting diversion for a couple of hours, worth doing if your say based in the local area, but I wouldnt rate it as a must do if youre a normal tourist coming from afar.

Very good and attractive to my friends

Its a lovely place to be with a great exposure of learning the aspects of mining process and understanding it better

Interesting but not a whole lot to see when the mine isnt operating (weekends). Check hours and ask what you will be able to see.

A self guided tour by professional guides. One gets to learn about different types of diamonds and going underground with mine workers makes it a very exciting experiences

Amazing tour of the mines 763 meters below . Really interesting how they operate and how the miners work. Hope to go again sometime.

A live mine visit. It shows the conditions under which people work and also the entire team down there at level 763 is so courteous. Dont miss it.

Gr8 experience. Very interesting and meaningful information

Great old buildings nice little restaurants and diamond mine tours

Unique experiance. Friendly helpfull staff

Informative, intersting tourist destination and heritage site

Only worthwhile if you did a guided tour and not a walkthrough

A place recommended. Specifically the 3 hour underground tour.

The only diamond mine in the world where tourists are allowed on the mine while the mine is still productive.

Takes a while to get there through an alternative route. Pretty little village with mainly restaurants, some antiquities and jewelry and two museums so that you can get the idea if what it was like in the beginning.

Very informative.. Anton awesome guide

The good thing with them is that you get to go to an underground mine while is in operation .I feel they should hire more guides going underground,none than that is a good place

Good valuable info, could use a golfchart though..

Lovely. Anton the tour guide is great. Very friendly and knowlegeble.

Such an awesome family outing!😎

Awesome place had so much fun

I have a nice idea for the cullian mine.What about somebody make a movie about how the diamond was discovered those years do you agree

Nice place to visit

Too expensive was not able to do tour we wanted to do.

Very nice and very informative

Compares very well with Kimberly and is on the doorstep of millions of Gaugtengers

The biggest hole youll see in your life.

Well worth visiting

Always love driving out here.

Shop around. There are a couple of tour operators in town.

Educational and fun tour

Old mine village charm

Although we did not go for the actual tour, the town was nice, although the current alternative route is on dirt and requires some careful driving.

Very interesting

Great day out

Great outing for the family

Very informative!

Did not go on the tour but visited the view.

Quiet place to be

Awesome place to explore

Place to visit surface and underground tour

Very nice

Wasnt here, just drove by

A very disappointing tour 😡

A must do while in Cullinan.

Beautiful shops and entertainment

Awesome day

Interesting info

Something different

Good

Everything is quite explicit

Nice!

Nor for me

History

Cullinan mining

Visit Cullinan diamond mine is definitely worth it. Guided tours start with some history and then show you everything from the mine. Nice view of the diamond pit. Outside at the entrance there are several small cozy restaurants. There is a shop to buy a diamond ring on site and the grinding process can be viewed from behind glass. If you live in South Africa, they will later deliver the finished diamond to your home! Recommended!

An interesting tour with lots of useful information on the extraction and processing of diamonds

Nice tour, initially totally outdated advertising film, then walk to the mine site. There is an introduction about diamonds and then you go over part of the terrain.

Its worth a look.

Really fascinating and interesting. The phone cannot be carried inside as it could interfere with the devices of the explosives.

Super interesting, skilled guide, delicious shop

Beautiful surface visit. Very interesting

A very interesting tour

Interesting visit to the mine still in operation.

Okay
