      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."

      Not just a guide - an experience creator!

      "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."

      A great day!

      "Our family had a great day with Trevor seeing the penguins and enjoying the whale watching boat tour - we even saw a pod of over 800 dolphins! Definitely recommend this all day tour. Trevor is a great guide with a lot of local knowledge. "

      Review 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."

      Amazing Day with a Great Host!!

      "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!"

      "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. "

      Great Day!

      "After almost a year of communicating with Trevor and looking forward to our Whales and Wine excursion it was almost like meeting an old friend when he picked up our group of 4 at our hotel in CapeTown. While he was more than willing to let us alter the plans we trusted his would be perfect and they were! A wealth of knowledge about the local area and really fun choices for stops and dining. Highly recommend! "
