Step by Step
Immerse yourself in Pretoria' s origins with a tour designed to show you its rich cultural and political heritage. You'll start with a visit to the Voortrekker Monument, erected in memory of the Afrikaner pioneers, and from its viewing platform you'll enjoy unforgettable panoramic views of the city and its hills.
You will then move on to the Kruger House Museum, the original residence of Paul Kruger, President of the former South African Republic. Walk through its rooms filled with period furniture and learn about the life and leadership of this key figure in local history.
The heart of Pretoria beats in Church Square, a square surrounded by colonial buildings such as the former Netherlands Bank and the Palace of Justice. Here you will see the statue of Paul Kruger and understand the political evolution of the city since its beginnings in 1652.
To close the tour, you will go up to the Union Buildings, a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture and the current seat of the South African Presidency. Stroll through its landscaped gardens and take in the view of Pretoria from the top, while your guide explains its significance during the democratic transition.
This private half-day tour is ideal for travellers looking for a deep dive into Pretoria' s history and heritage, with the flexibility of a personalised tour and the convenience of pick-up from your accommodation.
