Simply the best!

Jen_S, May 2024

Our guide Danson made this trip one to remember! From start to finish Danson was informative, entertaining and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day. We felt his knowledge of the history, culture and heritage of South Africa, good and not so good were shared with us. We certainly hit the jackpot when Danson turned up to take us out for the day exploring in, around and out of Cale Town. Thank you for an amazing day.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Jen We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and are glad that you enjoyed touring around the Cape Peninsula with us and your guide, Danson. It makes us extremely happy that he was able to provide you with such a great experience, thank you for acknowledging his efforts. Thank you for having taken the time to write us such a glowing review. We hope to hear from you soon. Have safe travels. Kindest regards.

Cape of good Hope, Boulders beach, Penguin colony

Aneury_F, Apr 2024

This was an amazing experience. Had the honor to enjoy this private tour of the three locations specified on the title and they were all great to visit. Cape of good hope being the top attraction of the entire tour. The hike up to the lighthouse is worth every drop of sweat and steps you take up. All I can say it’s a breath taking view from the top. I can go on and on about how magnificent this tour was, but if you’re looking for private time with a tour guide this is it. I had the pleasure of it being led by Jossie, who was nothing short of great with explanations and explaining things. She even made a slight adjustment to the itinerary so we were able to catch the amazing sunset Capetown has to offer. Once again you will not be disappointed!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Aneury Thank you so much for the glowing review and for having chosen our services. We are thrilled to learn that you had such an amazing trip with us and one of our knowledgeable guides, Jossie. We will relay such a beautiful review to him. We love hearing about our guests' experiences, and we are happy that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery that the Cape has to offer. It will be a great honor to host you again for another wonderful experience. Enjoy all your future travels. Thank you.

Amazing Peninsula Tour with guide, Xochilte Botma!

Maureen_K, Apr 2024

We took a Penninula Tour with Xochitle Botma, who was absolutely amazing the entire trip. She brought the peninsula to life for us, providing information and insights about every stop. The vehicle itself was spacious and immaculate, the tour stops were well thought out, and the pace was wonderful - enough time for pictures and no wasted time. We learned so much! I could not recommend this tour, with Xochilte, enough. So very grateful to have had this experience. Thank you, Xochilte!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Fantastic tour with Kelvin!

Katherine_T, Feb 2024

Kelvin was a great private tour guide. We had already seen a couple sights so he adapted our tour accordingly as well as working around a lot of road closures due to the President's speech in Cape Town. Not only was he a font of knowledge about the main tour attractions, he spotted wild animals for us and knew just where to take the best photos (and took many of us so we didn't end up with just selfies). We were all day with him and he provided info, appropriate to our knowledge and interests, all along the way. We really enjoyed spending the day with him. as a person. At each stop we didn't feel rushed but we were able to clearly take the time we wanted to enjoy at our leisure. We stopped for coffee and restrooms and then stopped for lunch at Cape Point. Because we requested a later start to the day, he didn't suggest an alternative location to stop but did offer choices at the Point and our lunch was quite good. I was happy with our communications with the company as I ultimately changed several things about our booking--the date, the pickup location and the time. Furthermore, they gave us good guidance on what we needed to bring as well as alerting me realtime via whatsapp when Kelvin arrived at our hotel for pickup. The vehicle was comfortable, pretty new, clean and stocked with water and maps for our use. Although we only had two of us, it was a mini van and would have been comfortable for a group of 4 or 5. Earlier in our trip we had a rental car but elected to do this tour instead of driving ourselves and we were so happy with that choice. We were able to see so much more, understand the area and not struggle with navigating especially when there were road closures. This was well worth doing!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Katherine As a company, we have to admit that we are filled with immense joy and a great feeling of accomplishment to note that you had a fantastic experience with one of our guides, Kelvin. He is a gem, we will relay such a beautiful review to him. We strive to provide the best possible experience to all our guests and we are glad that we have achieved that with you. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing to travel with us. Your recommendation of our services to others is much appreciated. We hope to hear from you again soon. Have safe travels. Best regards.

Unforgettable experience

IvetteTahis_R, Jan 2024

It was an unforgettable experience. Kevin our tour guide has become more than a friend, he's our family in Cape Town. Not only his knowledge of Cape Town and professionalism is beyond excellent but his kind heart too. Kevin even helped us when the cruise ship left us in Cape Town after being dropped off, not his fault but paperwork issues at check in. He drove us to the airport and made sure we were safe. What a great experience! Thank you friends and see you again!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Ivette It is always a bliss moment whenever we read such beautiful reviews of our services. We are thrilled to learn of what a brilliant day you had with us and your guide, Kevin.

The best part of our trip to Cape Town

Esther_M, Dec 2023

This tour was the highlight of our trip and was amazing value for our four person private tour. First and foremost, our tour guide Kelvin was fantastic and made the trip truly unforgettable. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable about everything ranging from the city, the plants and animals, and the local history. Kelvin had an amazing eye for spotting animals when we drove through the Cape of Good Hope and made sure we got to see all the animals that were out that day. We saw penguins, baboons, ostriches, elands, and a rock hyrax. We were able to customize what location we visited and the schedule never felt rushed. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone as it is the best way to see and learn about the region.
