Fantastic Cape Tour experience

Andrew_B, Mar 2024

Tania gave us a truly memorable day and went the extra mile ( literally ) to show us all of the sights and points of interest from Capetown to the Cape and back again . From her initial contact to confirm our booking and pick up point until the end of the tour she was friendly , Knowledgeable, efficient and informative throughout. We would never have spotted the Ostriches ourselves ! We were so impressed that we booked a separate tour with Tania to visit the wine region. Andrew Black

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Andrew, your 5 star review is much appreciated. I loved having the three of you on tour. Thank you for booking the wine experience as well. Please send Sarah and Victoria warm wishes from me. Tania

Fantastic Cape Town

LeeEtta_B, Mar 2024

Tania was great! Personable friendly and very knowledgeable of the area! One of the best tours we have ever taken! Highly recommend. We saw baboons penguins ostrich and antelope in the wild. Fantastic! Cape Town was beautiful! Thank you Mrs Bean😂

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I appreciate that you took the time to write this wonderful review. Your kind words about your day with Mrs Bean means so much. The animals really put on a show for us. Memories of a life time.

Great day! Great guide!

Roberta_H, Feb 2024

Tania’s friendliness, her knowledge of the beautiful places we saw, her ability to tell you interesting things without blabbing constantly and boring you. We had a great day. And her kindness in calling to return a lens I left in her car.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for your review and for choosing us to do your tours. I enjoyed our conversations and it was a pleasure to be your guide.

Excellent Day Trip Exploring the Southern Cape

Robert_M, Nov 2023

I really enjoyed my tour of the south cape with Tania. The scenery was spectacular and we were very lucky with great weather. Tania was informative about much of the historical spots and the geography of the peninsula. Loved it. Well organized? Yes Punctual? Yes Good value? Yes Left happy? Yes

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you, Robert. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. You are such a well traveled person. I've learnt a lot from you too. Only 11 countries to visit before you reach your 100th mark. Enjoy the adventure and please keep us posted on your sojourns.

Amazing

Karen_M, Aug 2023

I had SUCH an amazing day with Tanya, it was more than I hoped for in a day tour! She had so much knowledge of the history, the plants and animals, and just wonderful banter as we drove. I got to see so much of Cape Town and it was so personal—highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

I was so happy to see your 5 star review, Karen. It was a privilege to share Cape Town with you. Thank you for your kindness.

Expensive four what was on offer

Poppy_M, Jul 2023

Even though Tanya was very knowledgeable I found she didn’t stick to the itinerary and I missed out on seeing Cape Point. She often went off the beaten track to show me something that took too long and was of no interest to me. I was not provided with a water bottle as mentioned in the inclusions. Tanya also got the date wrong and came a day early. We spent too long at the botanical gardens even though it was interesting it was just the same species of floral. I also thought that the private tour was far too expensive for what was on offer

Wonderful Guide and trip

Justin_S, Jul 2023

Tania was an excellent tour guide! She was pleasant and informative about all the South Africa questions we had. She went put of her way to show us animals and sites we had never seen before. It was a great trip for our first day in Capetown!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello Justin, thank you for this special review. I tried mailing you, but I think the address is incorrect.

Wonderful day exploring Cape Town

LisaMarie_C, Jun 2023

Tanya was wonderful, very knowledgeable and a delight to spend the day with!! Her good luck even allowed us to see two whales, the first sightings of the season!! All of the stops were wonderful, lived the gardens, and Tanya can tell you about every bird and plant!! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour. The whales was such a bonus and I will not forget the moments we had together. Enjoy the rest of your adventures.

Great experience to see the important parts of Cape Town often missed.

Hope_D, Jun 2023

Tania was a great guide. She shared a lot of history, knew the right stops and places to visit, and made even a rainy, foggy day one of my best days in Cape Town!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you, for choosing me to do your tour, Hope. I appreciate the time you took to write a review. It was a privilege to share Cape Town with you and I do hope our paths will cross again. Your enthusiasm for the nature and animals we saw is contagious.

Such an amazing day!

Vanessa_R, Apr 2023

I highly recommend this tour. There were 13 of us traveling (8-77) so having the private vehicle was awesome. Mark was the perfect tour guide. He was friendly, knowledge, accommodating and kept our large group moving. He knew all the perfect routes and places to stop for amazing views. He even got our party a last minute reservation for lunch. I would request Mark if we return to Cape Town.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback, Vanessa. We hope to take you and your family on tour again one day. I'm happy you all enjoyed the day around the peninsula.

Amazing day in Cape Town!

Tina_A, Apr 2023

This was an absolutely wonderful tour! Tania arrived bright and early and created a custom all day tour based on what we wanted to see. Since we only had a couple of days in Cape Town there was a lot to do. Tania went over her plan for the day with us and off we went. to say we packed a lot into the day would be an understatement. We managed to to see Penguin Beach, Cape of Good hope, hit a winery for wine tasting, Simon's Town, Chapman's Peak Drive and much more. Tania took us to all the best spots and even a few hidden local gems. She was personable and professional and we truly had a wonderful time with her. My family and I would highly recommend booking with her. You won't be disappointed!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

It made my day when I read your wonderful review. Thank you! You made the Peninsula and Wine Tour so much more fun. Thank you for recommending our tours. All the very best for you & family. Tania

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Namaste Deepika, Our hike together at Cape Point is something I won't easily forget. We had wonderful conversations and you made the day interesting and fun. Thank you for the 5star review. Hope to see you again in April.

Outstanding guide

Shaun, Aug 2022

Our guide was so pleasant to talk with, very knowledgeable about the area, and very helpful/flexible in keeping our young son interested and showing us all of the amazing sights. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great personal touch on visiting the Cape.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you Shaun. I'm happy you enjoyed your experience. We appreciate your review. Warm Regards to the rest of the family.

Fun and personalized tour of Cape Town

Marlo_V, Jul 2022

Our tour with Tania was incredible. Tani has great energy and a great sense of humor while knowing so much about the sights and history. Tani assured we saw and did exactly what we wanted and was flexible with the schedule. She kept the day fun and interesting!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Marlo and Jeremy Thank you for your warm comments . You were amazing and easy to show around and I thoroughly enjoyed your company. If we ever visit your great state of California we will come and say HI to you. Take care and hopefully we will meet again. Warm regards TANIA

Best tour of Cape Town

Rob_C, Feb 2022

Mark was fantastic! He is very knowledgeable about Cape Town. He knew the best spots to go to and knew the history behind each place. He was also very flexible and tailored the trip to best suit what I wanted to do. I can’t recommend Mark enough!!
