The Cullinan mine is an ideal place for tourists to learn about the history, tradition and process of diamond mining. I think South Africa should be visited to learn about its natural resources. The skilled guide here showed us everything so I highly recommend it.

Visiting the Cullinan Mine was an amazing experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. I came to South Africa for a tour and this was the first time I went to see this mine, it was a great first time experience in my life. I will definitely come back here again. Thank you to the guide and the company.
