Hello and welcome to Cape Town! My name is Collen , a passionate and accredited tour guide based in the Western Cape.

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.

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.

“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.

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

“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.
Jonathan T.
Dear Lone. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review!It was an absolute pleasure guiding your family of five along the beautiful coast to the Cape of Good Hope. I am so glad that the comfort of your van combined with our flexible itinerary made for such a memorable 8-hour journey together. I always love sharing insights about South Africa and what we see along the way, so hearing that you found the tour knowledgeable and smooth means a lot to me.Thank you again for your highly valued recommendation. I wish you and your family all the best, and I hope to welcome you back for another great adventure in the future! Warm regards, Jonathan.
