    The absolute best!

    "We had a perfect day with Chris. His communication before the trip was very clear and he was even a few minutes early. He easily changed a few things on the itinerary to meet our needs. He was extremely knowledgeable and very fun! I highly recommend booking a day with Christopher! "

    Sheri about Elizabeth

    "Elizabeth was a delight. She even picked us up at the cruise terminal a day early to take us to table mountain as the weather was going to be bad the following day that we had booked. She knew so much history about Cape Town and was a pleasure to spend a day and a half with. She made sure we could get to everything that we could do and gave excellent ideas to keep us safe."

    Brilliant Guide

    "Sebastian was extremely knowledgeable and most pleasant guide we have met in recent years. The whole day was a pleasure, and he suggested restaurants for us to experience after the tour, which we did. Can't recommend him more highly. "

    Great Cape Town Tour

    "We thoroughly enjoyed an 8-hour tour with Sebastian who had to be flexible right from the start bc Table Mountain was socked in by fog. Sebastian was perfectly on time meeting us at our hotel. He made sure we hit all the highlight destinations but rather than simply recite a bunch of dates and statistics, he truly gave us an inciteful and meaningful account of living in South African from a native son. We learned so much from him and had a terrific running conversation. It was a day of fun and laughter and reflection and got our trip off to an amazing start."

    Above and beyond

    "I have used WithLocals all over the world, and Elizabeth was among the top guides. Having grown up near Cape Town, she knew of all the hidden spots that makes hiring With Locals such a treasure. She had many treats and surprises for us scattered throughout our day with her, which was very sweet. Above and beyond refers to when she came to our hotel at the end of a very long day and spent the time using her own bubblewrap and tape to wrap all of our souvenirs, even wine bought elsewhere. You'll have a blast spending the day with Elizabeth. "

    Amazing experience

    "Elizabeth, our guide ,was truly fantastic . We had the best experience over three days . I want to afford Elizabeth the highest accolade and recommend her to you unreservedly. She took us to look places away from the crowds and tailored the itinerary perfectly to suit what we wanted to see. She is outstanding and her knowledge is phenomenal. This entire tour was conducted so professionally and peppered with humour and kindness. "

    Exceptional Experience!

    "Our tour guide Theo made our time in Cape Town a memorable and exceptional experience. His depth of knowledge of South Africa and Cape Town was impressive. Most importantly, Theo is a good person. Upon meeting the first time, I perceived that he was genuinely thoughtful and friendly. He made our time in Cape Town truly one of the highlights of our vacation. Thank you! "
