After picking you up from your hotels at 8 am, we'll drive to the Cullinan Diamond Mine, taking approximately 1 hour.

Upon arrival, you'll be taken on a guided tour of the surface of this 100-year-old mine. You will observe the large shaft, which is over 1000 meters deep.

For about 2 hours, you will learn about the formation of diamonds, from their origin to their transformation into jewels.

This mine is notable for the discovery of the Cullinan diamond, known as the Star of the South. The tour will address questions about its weight, the fact that it broke into hundreds of pieces, and its significance in the British monarchy's coronations.
