Top Cape Town Private and Luxury - page 63

For one of the first times we used Viator for a tour, our private tour of Cape Town far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have been happier. We had just disembarked from a disappointing cruise as we missed 4 excursions from the cruiseline due to weather. Our guide, Collen Booi, was the best guide we could have had. The weather forecast was grim but he worked around the weather to make sure we were able to see all of the itinerary plus more. He was so friendly and knowledgable and we learned so much about the country and the culture. He was flexible on our pick up time and drop off and we had no issues meeting up with him after disembarking from the ship. It was truly one of the best experiences we had and Collen helped make our first time to South Africa a trip to remember.

Ray was the best tour operator. He thoroughly explained everything, was kind, and very helpful. We enjoyed our day with him and would highly recommend him and this company. He tailored the day to fit our likes and gave us time to soak in the views. Could not ask for a better experience.

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.

Kevin, our guide, turned up on time in a very comfortable car and from that moment we had a brilliant day! Kevin was very knowledgeable about not just the Cape Town area but the history of it too. He enquired about what pace we wanted to go at, and he was very considerate. A big Recommendation for this tour.

We were very fortunate to have Justin as our host on this 4 hour history and food tour. This tour is great for a first time visitor to Cape Town and, honestly, a great tour for locals. Justin is not only passionate about food, but has an excellent way of weaving Cape Town history into the various bars and restaurants we visited. Justin is smart, friendly, engaging, and familiar with “Bush Culture” which is interesting on its own. Surprisingly, he is familiar with multiple indigenous languages, speaking names and places with authentic, nuanced “click” pronunciation. Our tour began in the Bo Kaap neighborhood where we tasted local beer and some African must-try foods. We learned about how they came here and have morphed over time. The multiple locations each had history and great food. This was a fantastic tour to taste and learn about Cape Town food and history. It was a good value and I highly recommend it.

Amazing tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide ! It is a must when visiting Cape town, so much history happened here that it is impossible to get all the information about the city and country unless you do this type of guided tour. 2 hours walk in different areas, you get to see a lot and ask questions and take pictures along the way. Definitely recommend !

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.

From beginning to end, everything was so very well organized. The staff members were accommodating, helpful, and conversational. The train ride itself was very clean, comfortable, and in a nice extensive ride, whereby I was able to appreciate various sceneries, as well as artistry and much more. It was well worth the money. The only complaint I have is I was not able to experience the steam train ride.
