Cape Town Tour Reviews
Vasily A.
“The best guide ever!”
Elizabeth was our guide for the day trip to Cape Point. She was incredibly friendly and energetic, pointing out the all the interesting things along the route, explaining them, and stopping in the most stunning locations. We particularly appreciated her knowledge of the local fauna and flora, and it was only thanks to Elizabeth that we got to see so many animals and plants and learn about them - something we did not expect. We also stopped at various cafes a few times, and all of them were memorable, the food and drinks were delicious. Without any doubt we would recommend Elizabeth, and we look forward to seeing her again on our next trip.

“Excellent Tour to Cape of Good Hope”
We were a family of 5 with our own comfortable van and Jonathan as our excellent tour guide for 8 hours. We wanted to see something outside of Cape Town and choose this tour to see the beautiful coast south of Cape Town. Jonathan was very knowledgeable about what we saw and South Africa in general. He was very flexible and made this a great experience for us. The communication before booking was also very smooth. We can only recommend this tour with Jonathan.
