Good day. I'm an experienced tour guide/operator for 29 years, specialising particularly in private tours in Cape Town, the entire Western Cape, Garden Route and all other regions in Southern Africa. I love working with tourists from the East as my fore-fathers hail from Southeast Asia (Malaysia). I am a former journalist and photo-journalist and have covered virtually all aspects of newspaper journalism, from sports to news, fashion, business, politics and crime. Tourism is now my passion and I enjoy showcasing our beautiful country to the outside world.

I love what I do. I love my part of the country and live in one of the most beautiful countries and cities. I can say this after travelling too. I am not a fan of wasting your time (or mine) standing in long queues. We have about 4 places where you may need to do so. Otherwise I take you to the little known but beautiful spots to enjoy. Let me know what your favourite things are to do, and I can design a tour around this (eg art, museums, nature, animals, wine). I will design anything from one day trips to 5 day trips. I also know a fair amount about the Xhosa population and can show you a lot in this regard. I am fully vaccinated and have received my booster. If you need an airport transfer - please ask. If you want buy a wooden item - please ask.

Paul Z.
Perfect day, my name is Paul. It is needless to say, but – I love wine! I am a professional sommelier, having worked in the finest restaurants in the bustling tourist city of Cape Town – ensuring visitors from all over the world experience the best that South Africa has to offer. That’s what led us to start tours. I was constantly asked for and referred to by people for recommendations for wine farms to visit and a personalised tour. One private tour became two, two became four, and now we put smiles on people faces almost every day. We are 2 qualified certified guides in the Western Cape, husband and wife. We've been in this journey doing these tours since 2020. We've now gained experience in Safaris, tours down the Peninsula- Cape point + Boulders beach, cultural tourism+ township tours. We would love to host you, and give you a memory of a life time!

“Bester erster Tag in Kapstadt ”
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.
