Exceptional guide and tour.

Great guide to hike lion's head mountain to watch sunset. Our family of 4 hiked without any preparation and Kurt was nice enough to make us feel comfortable and safe and took lots of pictures and videos to cover all the best moments. Once in a lifetime hike for me.

From Cape Town: African Dinner and Drumming Experience

rpascal5, Jul 2026

Amazing experience

If you have a free night in Cape Town this is a must do. The performance is part interactive and we enjoy every minute of it. The show altogether was great and the artists very good and friendly. The 14 course sample menu was very good, perfect portions and served at the right temperature along with all the explanations. Everyone was friendly and you feel included in a large family. We were very happy we chose to do this tour. We highly recommend it

The Cape Town Essentials Food Tour

Cheree_K, Apr 2026

Walking food tour

What a great way to spend 4hrs. Walking the vibrant streets of Cape Town and trying and drinking local foods and wines. Olivia our guide was absolutely lovely, we ended up being her only guests and we had a great time talking local cuisine, local history and anything else that popped up. The 4 locations we visited each offered something different and unique to the area. Home made dessert eaten for breakfast or anytime, cheese and local wine, African game dishes with delicious sides and a great sports bar helping local firefighters. Visiting the vibrant Ba Kaap with it's colourful homes and local artists, just an all round great day. Thank you Olivia for your friendly company and knowledge.

Cape Town Walking Tour: Bo-Kaap & City Highlights

Nik_G, Apr 2026

Good brief overview

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.

Zipline Cape Town - From Foot of Table Mountain Reserve

Sara_D, Apr 2026

Scary but fun

Neither my sister or I had zip lined before. We were very nervous. My sister was braver than me and zip lined on her own. I wasn’t sure I could do it. Pam and Mesuli were amazing, they looked after me and Pam zip lined with me every time except 2. (there are 7 lines in total) I did those 2 on my own!! Pam was great, I love Pam! Very well organised. Bring sunscreen and wear proper shoes as you have to walk up the rocks a bit and then standing in the sun is very hot. They give you a bottle of water which is very welcome. Would recommend. Oh and next door is a winery!! If you need a wee dram after zip lining!!

Cape Town: Tandem Paragliding with the Experts

Rick_M, Apr 2026

You only live once, don’t let fear stop you

Honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I was a bit nervous as I have a fear of heights, scared of rollercoasters but this was one of the smoothest rides ever. We opted for the photos and videos which is a MUST. Our pilots were great and definitely made the experience all the better. Will not wait another 41 years to do this again.

Cape Winelands Luxury Wine Tour Tastings, Lunch & Cheese Pairing

This tour was definitely...

This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Thomas was one of the best guides you could hope for. Very warm, friendly, punctual, and super knowledgeable about South Africa's history and its diverse culture. You could really tell that he was focused on making sure that his guests have the best experience possible by tailoring everything to their needs!! We visited several gorgeous estates across both towns, each with its own character and charm. The wines were outstanding and the views were incredible. A truly perfect day out from Cape Town. Don't miss it.

Hike Table Mountain with a Guide - Choose Route

Antoinette_J, Jan 2026

Amazing to get to the top. If only cable car down had been operating

My plan was to hike up and cable car down. Set it as a 2026 challenge so wasn’t expecting it to be easy. Weather was bad going up and was told about 20mins in to the hike that cable car wasn’t operating due to weather. I didn’t come all the way to Cape Town to not get to the top so I continued. Stuck to my own pace and told the group to go on - Idrees met me on his way back down and then helped me up the rest of the way. It took me 3hrs. Got a short break in the clouds at the top for a view, which was great. Had to hike back down and fatigued legs made it very hard - took 4 and a half hours to get to the bottom and had very wobbly legs most of the way. Idrees was so patient and committed, helping me with every challenging step. Fortunately the weather on the way back down was better. Feel very proud to have got to the top despite weather but the hike down, left me in a bit of a state - still physically recovering a few days later! The tour was great, would definitely recommend Idrees. Just seriously consider your ability to hike back down again if cable car not operating. Other than that, it was a brilliant experience and achievement. Take lots of water, shoes with a grip and layers of clothing as weather can change.

Marine Big 5 Safari with Transport from Cape Town

Marine 5 from Cape Town

The day was well organised from pick up at the hotel to the time on the boat. Staff were welcoming and informative and we were fortunate to see all of the marine life mentioned in the programme including whales which are not normally seen in early December. Beautiful scenery en route and a fantastic time out on the water. Excellent trip.

Cape Town Helicopter Tour: Atlantic Coast

Sean_F, Nov 2025

Truly a Must Do

Truly a must do. The views of Cape Town from the helicopter are second to none. Plenty of time in the air even though it’s a 20 minute trip. The group was flexible with us and allowed us to come early the day of and take an earlier flight so we could make our lunch reservation. The check in process was seamless and the pilot was kind and provided some talking points of what we were seeing during the flight.
