About Tour Guide Elizabeth D.
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.
Important
I can guide in Cape Town, Western Cape, Garden Route, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng.
I can also do a few evening meals with you. I like you to taste the different tastes that Cape Town has to offer.
I can do airport transfers on request.
Tours
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

This is a long day. We travel down the eastern side of the peninsula and back on the western side of the peninsula. We take in sites, history, funa and flora, animals and the sheer beauty of the Cape Peninsula. We drive the most scenic drive in the Cape as well.
Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Wine and Gardens
First stop is the University and historical town of Stellenbosch. Then a wine farm with mazing views. Then lunch on a local farm. Through to Franschhoek. Back via a 300 year old garden which is spectacular.
Table Mountain, Bo-Kaap and City Centre
Take the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain. Have a walk around to viewing points. Come back down and experience the Company Gardens with museums, churches and gardens. Then onto the Bo-Kaap. These are the original slave quarters and now populated by mainly the Muslim descendants. Beautiful brightly coloured houses. Then have lunch at a traditional Malay restaurant and sample the local cuisine.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens and wine estates
The gardens will cover areas for those with sight impediments, What is currently flowering, plants with healing properties and the original structure of the traditional African abode. Next is Lady Barnard’s Bath and Cycad hill and natural Fynbos. Then possibly sightings of birds. Then the Canopy Tree Walk and Enchanted Forest. The concert lawn and more. Lunch will either be taken here or at a local deli. Then wine tasting and/or wine farm history and buidlings.
Wild flowers of the West Coast
In late July to the end of September the wild flowers up the coast put on the most amazing show of nature. This depends when the rains start as they come out after the first rains and need good sunny weather to open up. August and September are the best months.

“Walking tour to V & A Waterfront”
We booked the tour to V & A Waterfront with Elizabeth. She was absolutely amazing. She picked up at our hotel and drove to the V & A Waterfront, where we spent the whole day. It was a beautiful day. She is knowledgeable and introduced us to the landmarks that make up the area’s history, including the Clock Tower, , the Clock Tower District, the Robinson Dry Dock, the Zeitz MOCAA Museum, the yellow frame, the sculptured animals, the Swing Bridge, the gateway to Robben Island, the Two Oceans Aquarium. She was not in a hurry, she let us take our time. We had wonderful photos, specially on that very day when Table Mountain was visible in the background. She advised us the restaurant where to eat, we had our lunch at the V & A Food Market , which is near the Nobel Square. She even came to shop with us at the Watershed, which specializes in South African arts and crafts. I firmly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tour in Cape Town. If ever, I go back to Cape Town, I will certainly book my tours with her

“she gives her all!!!”
Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. she is socwarm and friendly. We booked her tour to Hermanas. It was the most enjoyable day! She picked us up promptly at our hotel we drove along the scenic coast. it was so beautiful. Elizabeth pointed out everything along the way-sites, birds, flowers, monuments…. she told history of the area. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her country. We spend the day driving and stopping along the way to see a cool little things, did some whalewatching from the shore, did a little bit of shopping had lunch at a great little restaurant overlooking the water, saw the Penguins. We were in no hurry and Elizabeth was very flexible, didn’t rush us or hurry us, let us take our time, and we actually got back to our hotel like two hours late. And it didn’t cost anything more. We enjoyed her so much that we hired her for another day and had her take us around Cape Town, a tour where we pretty much custom picked what we wanted to do. There’s a great little sites in the city and she took us to a restaurant where we had some amazing authentic South African food. Elizabeth grew up in the area so she knows everything about everything. She even gave us advice about where to eat that was close to our restaurant, how much to pay for things, what things to buy that were worth it, prices that were not worth it etc. she even told us that we could text her at any time for any advice on anything that we were doing on our own . We can’t recommend her highly enough!!! she gives it her all! We more than got our moneys worth, and if we ever go back to South Africa again we will definitely take advantage of her services.
