An experience I will never forget!
I am so grateful and blessed that I had the opportunity to visit this cultural experience. I learned so much about the different tribes and how they lived and what they had to endure on a daily basis. The lunch was exceptional.

Unforgettable Experience with an Exceptional Guide – Lucky Mtsweni
I don't usually write reviews, but I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to share our incredible experience with our tour guide, Lucky Mtsweni. From the moment we began our tour of the Lesedi Cultural Village to our private excursion through Soweto and the Apartheid Museum, Lucky’s deep knowledge and infectious passion for his country made all the difference. His ability to bring history to life, paired with his warmth and engaging personality, turned every stop into a meaningful and unforgettable experience for both me and my husband. We learned so much, and it was evident that Lucky truly cares about sharing the rich culture and history of South Africa. I wholeheartedly recommend the tours offered by Exploriana Tours and Safari, and if you get the chance, please request Mr. Lucky Mtsweni as your guide—you won’t be disappointed!
Response from the operator: Dear Sharon. Thank you very much for taking all your time to write the review,much appreciated. It was nice being with you ,hope to see you again in future. Stay blessed

Best Tour Guide
We arrived in South Africa with a group of 20. Lucky was our tour guide in Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Soweto over a four-day span. His knowledge of the country and its history was stellar!! We toured Nelson Mandela's home, Hector Peterson Museum, The Mandela Statue at the Union Building in Pretoria, he also took us to Lesedi Cultural Village, he showed us the good, bad and ugly of Soweto's townships, and Constitution Hall. He also took our group to two authentic South African restaurants for lunch (Sakhumzi and The Harv Table). Both offered delicious meals and great service. He answered all questions from our group and displayed a passion for his job and the service he provided. The thing that made this tour most memorable was, I told Lucky my husband and I use to live in Pretoria in 2013. A asked if he could drive us to our old street and allow us to walk on the street one more time. He googled the address fulfilled our request and we were in heaven and forever grateful. If I were to return to South Africa with a group, I would use Lucky without hesitation. He is truly the best in the business. I highly recommend Lucky and his services.
Response from the operator: Mr/Mrs Terran ,thank you for taking your time to write this review, much appreciated. It was an honor to take you around n show you my country. Hope to see you soon.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pretoria.
How much does Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pretoria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pretoria is not rushed.
Is Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pretoria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pretoria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pretoria and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pretoria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pretoria?
+
On Outty we rank every Pretoria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soweto Cultural Walking Tour with Lunch, Guided Bicycle Tour of Soweto with Lunch, Johannesburg and Soweto tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pretoria?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pretoria?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner?
+

Does Lesedi Cultural Village Tour with Lunch or Dinner include hotel pickup?

+
