          Excellent tour with the best guide
          This was our first trip to Cape Town and I highly recommend that anyone visiting South Africa take this tour! Our guide,Danson, picked us up at our hotel at 9 AM and we did not return until 6 PM. It was a day full of wonderful experiences and sites. We stopped and had a delicious lunch with good South African wines. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of this land and the places we visited. I give Danson the highest rating as a guide and driver! Well done,Danson!

          Fabulous day out.
          A great experience from pick up to drop off. Rodney was an engaging, humorous and knowledgeable guide and driver. The tour was well organised with great stops and sights and with Rodney helping to take photographs. Highly recommend.

          Unforgettable Cape Town Adventure
          Our trip to Cape Town was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, every moment was filled with breathtaking sights, fascinating history, and unforgettable encounters with wildlife. We drove through stunning landscapes, and spotted baboons and ostriches along the way which was so cool. The ostrich farm was a fun and unique experience, allowing us to see ostriches closer. A major highlight was visiting the iconic Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point. The natural beauty was truly breathtaking, and we even took on the hike back down from Cape Point, rewarded with stunning ocean views. For those looking for a less strenuous option, the funicular ride was a great alternative. One of the most heartwarming parts of the trip was our incredible tour guides. I cannot recommend them enough: Candy and Mabee. They were not only knowledgeable but also funny, welcoming, and full of captivating stories. They shared deep insights into South Africa’s history, and their own heartwarming stories, making our experience even more meaningful. Would 100% recommend you have them for your tour!! thank you to them both, I really enjoyed my tour with them

          Lively, beautiful and fun tour with Candy and Mabee!!
          Our Cape of Good Hope tour with Candy and Mabee was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, they were full of energy, fun, and laughter, making the entire journey so enjoyable. They had us laughing the whole time and made sure we had the best experience possible. Not only did they take us to the most stunning locations—including the breathtaking Penguin Beach and the lovely restaurant next to it—but they also captured so many amazing photos of us along the way. Their enthusiasm and knowledge made the trip even more special, and we truly appreciated their effort to make everyone feel included and entertained. Loved every moment of it and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town. If you get Candy and Mabee as your guides, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure!

Definitely do this tour if you are in Cape Town - it’s such a great combo of sight seeing, hiking (optional), incredible views and of course, adorable penguins to finish the day.

          Amazing!
          an amazing day! It was really convenient getting picked up from the hotel and communication about pick-up time was good. Candy and Mabee were very friendly and welcoming. The vehicle was very clean. Candy was very knowledgeable and gave an interesting commentary. Mabee was an excellent driver and kept us entertained on the return journey by singing to us in his native language. Both of them were more than happy to take photos which as a solo traveller was great as it meant I wasn't having to do selfies. The scenery was stunning especially on Whatthe walk from the Cape of Good Hope to the lighthouse. The penguins at Boulder's Beach were delightful. It was excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it. Thanks to everyone who was involved.

          Great Wine Farm Experience
          Candy and the Marvin were amazing. Extremely friendly, informative and professional. We enjoyed the wine experience and learned a lot from them about South Africa wine farms, history and heritage. Excellent!
