Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Sebastian was an outstanding guide and made our trip truly memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the day, which really brought everything to life. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he was reliable, organized, and made everything feel effortless. What really stood out was how he turned a great trip into an unforgettable experience. He made the day fun, engaging, and enjoyable, and it genuinely felt like we were exploring with someone who was passionate about what they do. I would highly recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a guide who goes above and beyond."
"The first thing I noticed about Rashdi was a warm smile, the second was his genuine interest in finding out about our interests, so that he could assess how to pace our city tour. Rashdi imparted lots of information in an accessible way and gave us time to look at what we wanted, without ever feeling rushed or processed. it was a great introduction to our first day in Capetown, giving us confidence to explore more on our own later. We were very happy to have spent the morning with Rashdi, and grateful for his insights as a born-and bred Capetownian. "
"Thank you so much to Sebastian! We were so thankful for our time with him. He was a wealth of knowledge and incredibly accommodating when our schedule was delayed with travel mishaps. Could not recommend more and hope you get a chance to experience such a lovely tour!"
"Sebastian was a fantastic guide and gave us a great overview on the city tour. I really appreciated his follow up after the tour with several recommendations for the rest of our trip! "
"Rushdi took our family on a tour through history. He knew a lot, had interest in all of us and showed us the Castle of Good Hope, a local foodmarket, Bo Kaap etc. Very pleasant! Thank you Rushdi!"
"Gilbert was phenomenal. His knowledge of Cape Town and South Africa’s history and culture is incredible - he brought every site to life with stories, context, and passion. We learned so much and saw the city in a whole new way. He’s engaging, patient, and answered every question with real insight. If you want to understand the real Cape Town beyond the surface, book Gilbert. Highly recommend!"
"Sebastian was an awesome leader with a deep understanding of local history and culture, and seems to be friends with more than half of Cape Town. He was not afraid to talk about difficult subjects and interjected his own personal experiences and family history to give us a richer view of what it means to be South African, and he did it all with charm and kindness. "
"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."
"We had a great day exploring Stellenbosch with Trevor. He took us to some hidden gems and was so knowledgeable about the area. We never felt rushed and were able to explore at our pace and have input into the stops. Trevor was super friendly and we left as friends. Highly recommend doing a tour with Trevor!"
"A tour of District 6 and Cape Town City Center with Gilbert. We had a wonderful day with Gilbert, who not only showed us the many facets of his city but also what makes its people special. He told us about the past and present and took us to places we would never have seen without him. Thank you, Gilbert, also for every little refreshment and the treats on this hot day. It was fantastic, and we highly recommend a tour with Gilbert."
