“Le tour a été très agréable, grand merci à Yves. Il a été ponctuel, patient, flexible (réservation tardive acceptée sans soucis). Il connaît bien l’histoire de la ville de Pretoria et la partage tout au long de la journée mais sans en faire trop. Les arrêts sont bien définis et en une journée on a vraiment l’impression d’avoir fait le tour de la ville de Pretoria. Je recommande vivement cette activité.”
