Experiential historical Pretoria city tour, with a twist!
This beautiful land would not be what it is today without the legends who lay down their lives in sacrifice for it. It is these South African icons that the “Untold Stories” Day Tours serve to revere, while giving visitors the opportunity to literally experience history through an immersive walk back in time. Tour guides have been carefully selected to charismatically simulate the figures they have taken on as alter-egos. They have intimately studied and adopted every detail of their character, including their dialect, dress and life experience. Guests have the opportunity to meet and engage with a historic pioneer, and to get answers to questions never before posed.

Pack your wagons, load the oxen and prepare to ‘trek’ across a city where jacarandas are seasonally in bloom; buildings architecturally significant and where a nation gathers to celebrate freedom and liberty. Experience how this town earned its place as the executive and administrative heart centre of South Africa, host to the country’s most prominent trials, and witness to Nelson Mandela’s swearing in as the nation’s first democratically-elected President in 1994. Guests join their guide, in the character of a historic pioneer, and go back in time. Trek in the wake of great leaders, from the Voortrekker Monument to Church Square and the Union Buildings.
