Collen hat uns an unserem ersten Tag in Kapstadt begleitet. Seine angenehme, nette humorvolle Art hat uns einen wunderbaren Tag beschert. Wir konnten von Anfang an aussuchen, wohin wir gerne wollten und Collen hat uns die schönsten Ecken Kapstadts gezeigt. Wir können ihn absolut und wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

“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.

Elizabeth D.

Thank you so much Vasily. I am waiting for the two of you !!!!
