Often overshadowed by its neighbour Johannesburg, Pretoria is the
administrative capital of South Africa and a city well worth
exploring on a guided Pretoria city tour. Known as Jacaranda City
for its thousands of purple-blossomed trees, Pretoria is steeped in
history, architecture and cultural significance.
Pretoria City Tour Highlights
Your Pretoria city tour with Ates Africa takes you through the
city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Union Buildings – the
official seat of the South African government – the Voortrekker
Monument, Paul Kruger House Museum and Church Square, the historic
heart of the city. Along the way, your bilingual guide will bring
the history of the Boer Wars, apartheid and post-apartheid South
Africa to life. The Union Buildings are one of South Africa’s most
impressive architectural landmarks, set on a hill overlooking the
city with sweeping views across Pretoria. The Voortrekker Monument
commemorates the Voortrekkers who left the Cape Colony in the Great
Trek of the 1830s and 1840s.
