Gold Reef City Heritage Tour comprises:

Rich Beginnings

We invite you to join Veli, a modern day school boy as he takes the journey of a life time in the company of Joe, a well weathered prospector from the late 1800’s.

Museum Houses

Mr Ohlthaver's House. If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to be a mine official in the good old days, here’s your chance to join Veli as the dinner guest.
Dowse House. Wander through the corridors with Veli as you learn about home-schooling (without the internet).
Oosthuizen House. A “ghostly” experience awaits you as you stroll down the passages of time, where you will see what it was to ‘waste not, want not’.

Gold Pour

Liquid gold–there’s nothing quite like the magnificent glow that emanates from the molten liquid. This is an experience of the heart, soul and mind that you will never forget.

Underground Mine Tour

Descend into the depths of the earth and discover the riches of our history. Experience the heart stopping feeling of travelling deep below the surface. Feel the cold air and touch the rough rock that holds the wealth of a nation.
