We went for the full tour which included the women's jail and the old fort . It was quite the eye-opening experience. Our docent, Angeline, was very knowledgeable and was open to us asking questions. Although No. 4 is a small place, we could feel how rich in history it felt, with it's walls being privy to the suffering of so many. The weight of the place fell heavy on us. The constitutional court nicely juxtaposed the old jail and we could see very deliberate architectural and design elements to contrast the history of the place, building a new future. The old fort and women's jail also provides another glimpse into the past. Overall, it's a wonderful experience and highly recommended. Tips: Bring snacks as there is no where to buy snacks in the area.

It was an amazing experience. The entire place is loaded with the huge history of South Africa, which continues to this day with the highest court in that country. I recommend the guided tour with a highly knowledgeable guide who can answer all my questions. I highly recommend that place for locals and tourists who wanna into the history of South Africa. It was an interesting experience that let me start to think a lot.

Really enjoyed the history and significance of this location. It is well worth visiting with a knowledgeable tour guide who can explain the relevance of the buildings, art, and people who are represented. Make sure you have lunch at the Prison Kitchen if you have time. It is well worth it!

Friendly tour guide. Thanks! Place is well kept and informative. The constitution court and the old fort are some of the prettiest buildings in SA. Nelson Mandela and Gandhi museum was also cool!

It was such a fruitful colloquium, very informative and such an eye opener, in the sense that it became clear to all participants (I hope) what BELLA Bill is? And what BELLA Bill is not? The fact that it is not a new Act but an amendment to our South African Schools Act to close gaps that have been identified. And for sure we, the people say YES to Bella Bill!

I really appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere here. The live shows are always top-notch, and it's such a cool place to chill out at. I've been here for two shows, and it's fantastic.

I was lucky to find someone to pay for me in exchange for cash. I strongly advise you to book tickets online in advance. Constitution Hill is a true repository of South Africa Apartheid history. My guide made the recollections lucid and almost left me emotional. The conscious thinking behind the construction of the Court is massive creative thinking.

A bitter-sweet experience as we go back in time to re-live our country's history. It was overwhelming but also very educational and informative. Apartheid did not prevail and that to me is victory!
