David was an incredible tour guide and extremely knowledgeable. We really enjoyed all of the information he shared about the sites and the history of the area. We covered a lot of ground in a half day trip and would highly recommend it if you are short on time!

A memorable Day with Talent

Donald_W, Sept 2023

What can we say other than fabulous from start to finish . Our guide was called Talent both by name and nature . Talent was like paging the oracle of all things South African - fun informed and passionate about giving us a memorable experience. Went the extra mile to ensue we saw as much as possible half day tour became full day with extra places added - Bo Kaap and Chapmans Peak and Houts Bay to name but a few as well as fulfilling the itinerary we had booked . Look no further for a day well spent . Truly memorable thank you Talent 🥰

A wonderful tour

The Best Tour Guide

Beverly_W, Sept 2023

David, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable not only of South African history and current events but of Africa and the diaspora. He arrived to pick me up at the precise time that was agreed, and was so patient and kind with my late returns to the tour bus. He is a true asset to the tour. I would most definitely recommend the tour and David as the tour guide.

Fun half day sightseeing outside Cape Town

Jessica_M, July 2023

We were looking for a shorter trip to do in Cape Town and this was perfect. We got to see the main sites of the cape of good hope, go up the funicular for some spectacular views, and see the cute penguins. Our guide Kembo was great- very knowledgeable about the area and excellent customer service. The communication from Kembo and his team was very good, with the info received ahead of time and the pickup arrangements. I’d recommend this if you want to see some iconic sites but aren’t looking for a full day tour.

Disappointment.

Kseniia_P, Apr 2023

Company which doesn’t care about their clients. I booked a tour two days before departure. No one replied with number of guide, details, confirmation. Almost at night, 12 hours before trip they send me a message. At that time I’d already booked another trip just to be sure that I’ll be able to go. Money down the drain.

Response from Host, May 2023

Good day Valued Client Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will escalate this and investigate this issue in order for this not to occur again in the future.We will be in contact with feedback on this.We wish you all the best with your future travel.
