The tour itself was quite interesting, would have loved to had more time to explore the town of Cullinan itself with all its little shops. The diamond shop was a bit of a disappointment it was very limited however the one jewelry shop in the village was excellent Prima Lux!!! The driver we had went above and beyond for us and it was greatly appreciated.
