Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. "
"What a brilliant afternoon with Gilbert showing us the ‘off the beaten track’ tour. He’s was entertaining and very educational and we saw and learnt things we just wouldn’t have discovered on our own. I won’t ruin some of the places he took us but it definitely was as hidden parts of the city we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Book with Gilbert if you can. I think he does other routes too."
"Wonderful experience of the hidden Cape Town Gilbert took us from postoffice turned food hall, through shebeens and fancy chocolate bars into little private museums and hotels - who just hid a tiny bit of the city’s history. All along sharing his own experience of the city and the city history "
"Chris was an amazing guide, who firstly was very patient and understanding that we were running late with my aunt being under the weather. He was also very accommodating with the tailoring the tour to us and dealing with my endless questions! It was an informative tour but one full of laughs and have a taste to Cape Town. I couldn't recommend Chris more!"
"We had a really good day out with Theo, his knowledge of the Cape Town area was amazing and well delivered. "
"Sebastian was extremely knowledgeable about the area and had a wealth of information about the history of South Africa to share. He was always happy to accommodate our wishes and needs. The three hours flew by! We would book a tour with Sebastian again anytime. Thank you very much! ❤️"
"Gilbert is a fountain of knowledge and adapted easily to our needs and interests. He is a lovely man and would strongly recommend him as a guide to one and all."
"We had a great time with Christopher on the half-day city walking tour. He was a pleasure the entire time. The tour was fun and educational and his passion for his home was evident every step we took. Highly recommended!"
"We had an amazing walking tour in Cape Town with Gilbert - an incredibly knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about the city, its people, living conditions and history. All explained in an engaging and thoughtful way. The food experiences along the route were exciting and delicious, giving a great insight into the local culture. Highly recommended!"
