"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!!"

Great guide!
"Spending the day with Daryl was a delight. He is so knowledgeable about Cape Town and shared so many unique experiences with us (including the bathroom with a view - IYKYK). He was very focused on our interests and wishes and focused on delivering a memorable experience. We had a great time. "
"I reached out to Trevor about the possibility of putting together a private wine tour focusing on biodynamic and organic wine. Not only did he immediately had ideas, but he was clearly very excited about the prospect of organizing a more off-the-beaten path tour. Our day was truly exceptional. We visited four wineries, each with a different character, highlighting different aspects of Western Cape viticulture. We were even lucky enough to be able to have in-depth conversations with staff involved in the production of the wine at two wineries.
Trevor is professional, knowledgeable (both about the wine and about the history/culture/nature of the Western Cape), and exceptionally open-minded. He asked questions of the winery staff which allowed me to learn about aspects of the wine-making process that I would not otherwise have even thought to inquire about. Most of all, Trevor's passion for his work, for wine, and for South Africa made my time with him more than just a typical tourist experience. I did not just learn facts but gained real insight through the experience.
This is my second time in Cape Town and if I ever have the chance to return here, without a doubt I will be reaching out to Trevor again."
"Trevor made sure my friends and I had a good time on our trip even though the weather was terrible. He gave us insights about not only South African tourist places but also the history of South Africa. I recommend Trevor's tours to anyone visiting South Africa. Thanks, Trevor. See you!"
"Rushdi shared his passion for his city. His passion and knowledge of his city is infectious , making you wanting to come back to this magical place again."

Amazing Wine experience in Constansia
"We had the most amazing day in Constansia with Trevor. The man knows his wine and guided us through 2 different wineries. He was incredibly attentive and very invested in ensuring we saw as much as possible but without cramming in too much. Excellent hosting. Would highly recommend this tour fircthose looking for a different and tailored experience.
Thank you Trevor. "
"Our day trip to Cape Point with Sebastian was incredible, just my husband & I and we felt very pampered! Sebastian exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond to make certain we had the trip we hoped for, ticking off everything on our wishlist. He worked with us in advance, with exceptional insight and speedy communication to curate a fantastic personal experience. Sebastian’s knowledge of the area and the city ensured a seamlessly coordinated trip. We also appreciated his wonderful commentary about the places we visited- we learned so much!
Thank you, Sebastian!"

Sebastian is a wonderful guide.
"Sebastian took our group of four on a Cape Peninsula tour. He was great company and told us a lot about Cape Town. In addition he was able to make the tour interesting, showed us sights of interest and made suggestions about how to make the most of the tour according to our wishes. He was great company. Highly recommended to tour with him."

Best day w/nicest,most knowledgeable guide
"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. 😁"

Elizabeth is awesome as a guide
"Elizabeth was the best guide we have ever had and that is not to take away for many of the local guides we have encountered on our trips abroad as they have all been without a doubt passionate about their work but Elizabeth brings a unique gift of not only her immense knowledge but this wonderful warmth that makes going with her similar to going out with your best friend who takes you to all these fabulous places to see and share experiences and make wonderful memories and boy does she know the best places for food and coffee and deserts 😋
We had the best day experience with Elizabeth and without a doubt we would recommend her as “awesome” and we hope to see her again on our next trip to SA "
