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.

“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.
