Our tour guide, Simoné, instantly won us over with her warm and friendly nature.

She effortlessly transported us back in time, immersing us in the rich tapestry of the past. Every step of the tour was laced with captivating anecdotes and intriguing tales that brought the historical characters and events to life. It was like we were witnessing history unfolding before our eyes.
The McHardy House itself is a true treasure, and Simoné's passion for its preservation was evident in every word she spoke. Her attention to detail was commendable, and she didn't miss a single opportunity to share interesting insights about the architecture, decor, and the McHardy family's legacy.
What stood out the most was Simoné's ability to cater to our family's diverse interests. She was incredibly attentive to each member, making sure that everyone felt engaged and involved throughout the tour. Even the children were captivated, and that speaks volumes about Simoné's storytelling skills.
We left the McHardy House feeling enriched and grateful for the experience. Simoné's guided tour was an unforgettable journey through time that left us with a deeper appreciation for Cullinan's history and its significance as a diamond mine.
