Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Veliswa was a friendly guide who. Suggested a popular route and made us feel safe on the climb up the mountain. Chose an easy pace on a hot day. Would have liked a little more information about the mountain as we climbed or stopped for breaks."
"Veliswa made us feel really comfortable on the Table Mountain hike. She was warm, knowledgeable, helpful and just generally a great guide. We would recommend her for any tours around Cape Town! Thank you Veliswa! "
"I had such a great hike with Veliswa and I really appreciated all the safety measures she took to ensure a safe hike. I also enjoyed learning a lot about the land and it’s culture. And she was generous enough to ensure a convenient pickup and drop off and also answer all my curious questions about SA culture. "
"Thanks, for a nice experience, receiving fantastic view on top of Lionshead. Veliswa also is a nice person to spend time with. She is strongly recommended as a tourguide."
"We started out booking Elizabeth for our first day in Cape Town but ended up staying with her for 3 days! She personalized our tours and went over and above to make sure we seen as much of Cape Town in 3 days as we could… she has become our South African mother and we are looking forward to going back to spend more time with her! She made our trip amazing!!"

"We loved every min. Without Elizabeth our trip wouldn’t have been as wonderful as it was. She made all the difference. We love her and will miss her. Hopefully we will get back there. Thanks for everything. "
"We loved Jared. Simple. He's just brilliant. Our trio from London had the pleasure of being shown the delightful sights of Capetown with Jared. We couldn't have asked for a better day. There are not enough superlatives to describe him. He's lovely and we gad the best tour. Book him if you can. Thank you Jared. "
"I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to South Africa. I was traveling on business, but managed to squeeze one extra day in for exploring Cape Town. One day is absolutely not enough, but with Elizabeth’s knowledge of the city and sights - and her expert planning - I managed to see sooo much! If you’re looking for a guide that knows all the sights in and around Cape Town like the back of her hand, can explain both history as well as the current state of affairs, can plan the most efficient use of your time, and is just incredibly kind and pleasant - then she is your gal! I would love to return to Cape Town, but only if I get to go with Elizabeth. 😁"
"Even though we had absolutely no visibility, I had a great hike up up Table Mountain with Veliswa! She sacrificed part of her daughter’s birthday to come guide this hike. I truly appreciate her effort in this and looking out for my safety. "
"WOW….from the point of booking, Sebastian’s communication and arrangements were perfect in every way. My wife and I have just returned from a two week tour around SA and were finishing with a few days in Cape Town. As all visitors to Cape Town will know, there are lots of things to see, and knowing what to do can be the biggest challenge. We decided to use the services of Get Locals and after researching the various guides available, we selected Sebastian, based on his previous reviews. Well, call it luck or good judgement, but we hit GOLD when making our decision. Sebastian met us at our hotel on the Waterfront and after a brief discussion we embarked on one of the most interesting and memorable days we have ever had on a holiday. We will be returning in the next two years with our our “kids” to enjoy the wonders of South Africa with us, and the first thing we will do is to book Sebastian for a couple more days. We cannot speak highly enough of Sebastian and would certainly recommend booking him for the day or two. A very knowledgable, level headed and charming man 10/10 👏👏👏 "
