Top Cape Town Private and Luxury - page 85

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.

The history of South will be incomplete without the mention of Robben Island. From the explorer's Station to the Prison of both civil crimes and later on to Political opponents. The Island was once considered a place of no escape, but now we can talk of professional swimmers crossing over for the Good Course (charity). History can help us to be more human. The scars can be very massive and be seen from thousand miles away, but it should not be paining. And that what we call healed healers. Mandela had a big heart.

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.

Communicated with us throughout on the day we landed in CPT until pick up time. Very friendly and shared alot of info about CPT during our drive to our accomodation - also offered to take us wherever we wanted during our stay. highly recommend his services.

This was by far one of the BEST tours I have been on. I’ve traveled the world, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Bali, and more. Please request FAYICAL (fi-zel) he was THE BEST tour guide. Very informative and knowledgeable BUT he was so kind. It only to us but everyone around he helped out an elderly lady, he assisted someone trying to park that was having trouble and so friend to everyone. He was hands down amazing and made this tour that much better. It was a pleasure spending the day with you.

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 !

We joined the train in Cape Town and were allocated to our seats for the day. It was all aboard at 8 am and we commenced on our way towards Elgin. We had a friendly coach manager giving hints and tips as well as a chance to learn about him. We also had a waiter who brought a variety of food and drinks for the passengers. The market is a must see place particularly for wine and foodies. Great way to spend a day.

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.
