Top Cape Town Private and Luxury - page 50

A visit to Robben Island is not for the faint of heart. Stories from former inmates who experienced daily and cruel torture and deprivation of basic human rights for years brought tears to my eyes and fellow travelers. For those who want learn from the bleak period in South African history you should not miss this opportunity when you visit Cape Town

Dylan was a great guide and you could tell his passion. It was a pleasant surprise that this group tour ended up being a private one which made it even more memorable. This tour gives a good brief overview of the history of Cape Town and sets a good grounding to further explore later by yourself. I would recommend this experience at the start of one’s time here in Cape Town.

A beautifully curated tour that accommodated our preferences with style and insight. We chose to tailor the day to just 2 wineries with time left for visiting both Franschhoeck and Stellenbosch. We suggested the tour company select two of their favourite wineries with a lunch at one of them and the result was a lovely blend of tasting and dining coupled with an extraordinary tour through the magnificent countryside. Oh, and great shopping to boot! Marlene, our driver and guide, was extremely knowledgeable and polished in presenting the region to us with an insight only locals truly know. We wished we had known that this company also offered different itineraries that included the southern cape region and the wineries that can be found there, but I was too focussed on this region to think to ask of other trip offerings that would further complement our five days in Capetown. Definitely worth doing with such a terrific offering and attention to detail. Cedric, the owner, was extremely prompt in acknowledging our requests, and he clearly has cultivated a superb team of professionals in a boutique approach to service and knowledge.

Amazing experience kayaking with the dolphins (within 5 minutes), seals and even penguins! Had never kayaked before but felt safe with the team / group and quickly picked it up - the modified boats making it easier to steer and balance… weather will also play a part in this but would trust the teams judgement. Very relaxed once out at sea and not too strenuous, an absolute must if in Cape Town.

Private tour is the best for this tour as there are many things to see and you can choose which ones you want to stay longer at and which ones you would like to stay shorter at without worrying about what other people want to do which might not align with your choices.

Clint was an excellent first impression of Cape Town. He greeted me with a smile and warmness that was welcoming. I enjoyed our conversation from the airport to the hotel. He gave me tips on places to eat as well as keeping safe while navigating the city. I’d recommend Clint specifically and hope to see him again on my travels to the Mother City.

This cruise was the absolute best!!!! We were running late because we couldn’t find where we were supposed to go but luckily we found it and the captain allowed us on. And thank God he did! The views were absolutely breathtaking! The crew was fun and the kept the bubbly flowing!! Bring a jacket!!

This experience was A+ from the beginning to the end.Our guide and driver,Gherard,was amazing, very entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and looked like he loves his job. He made the long drives feel shorter. He picked us up in our hotel in Stellenbosch and dropped us at our next hotel in Cape Town.We made a few stops for coffee and food and to stretch our kegs.The drives in both reserves Botlierskop and Buffelsdrift were fantastic. We got to see the Big Five, and for an extra charge, we got to walk with the elephants, money well spent.They were 2 totally different experiences but both equally amazing.We overnighted at the charming Oakdene Guest House, where Daniel the host greeted us and treated us to a fantastic breakfast in the morning. They made reservations for us that night to have a delicious dinner at Ebony and Ivory. There were 8 of us at the van, and we got along so well, even though we all were from different countries. We ended up swapping phone numbers in the end. Overall it was the perfect experience. The drive was long but so worth it once we got there. Being amongst all the wildlife in their own habitat and not feeling like it was a zoo was priceless. Definitely recommend this tour.
