I am at home and can do short day tours on short notice if that is in the Garden Route area - Swellendam to Mossel Bay.
If I need to pick up at Cape Town Airport I will need three days in advance and there will be an additional transportation fee.
I have travelled a great deal around the world and different cultures and food is the highlight in my life. I have decided to change to this way of living and if I can share my knowledge, experience, humor and being your best tour guide ever, why not? South Africa is a great warm captivating country - and so am I. I have experience and knowledge in Culture Sites, but the Winelands, Karoo, Namaqualand and the beaches all fall in my interests and expertise.
