What are people saying about South Africa

Ana_G, May 2026

I did this tour yesterday...

I did this tour yesterday with Gordon. I am travelling alone and we were 10 people in total in the group. I got a message the day before the tour with details and what to do to prepare for the tour, which was quite helpful. Once everyone was picked-up (total of 10 people on the tour), and given that we did not know each other, Gordon managed to keep the vibe very friendly and warm by engaging with each one of us is a very light-hearted and funny way. This meant that by the first stop, we all knew each others names and there was not awkwardness as we had all been sharing laughs. Gordon provided interesting info about places we were driving through, telling us to look to the left or the right, etc. Seeing the penguins was amazing, but also amazing was seeing baboons, antelopes, ostriches, and the landscape is absolutely breath taking. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can definitely say this is one tour to not miss.

Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour

Nickina_P, May 2026

Excellent private full day tour!

We had a few days in Cape Town, and wanted to see as much as possible in a short timeframe so this tour jumped out. Our guide was Johnny, he was awesome! Totally made the day for us and was flexible, provided us with extensive knowledge about South Africa, Cape Town and more.

Jun_H, May 2026

Thank you for a wonderful, comprehensive view of South Africa and Cape Town. Joseph's the man!

Joseph was a friendly, knowledgeable, and amazing guy from the moment he picked me up to the moment he dropped me off. He was really professional, very friendly, very helpful, answered everyone's questions, and gave a good overview explanation of everything we saw before, during, and after. We went through each checkpoint. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend this guided group trip. It would be amazing if you get Joseph as your guide.

Bad day at Aquila.

Despite the most severe weather (gale-force wind, torrential rain - trees & high sided vehicles blown over) Mike our driver got us there & back safely, providing an informative & interesting commentary all the way. Mike was courteous & friendly and afforded us ample time a stops on the road and whilst on the safari.

Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch

Howard_P, May 2026

A great scenic day for the wine drinkers

This was a fun scenic foodie/wine tour to 3 wineries. First stop is wine and cheese pairing, second wine and lunch, third wine with chocolate. Last stop for bubbles was not necessary but a good tour of Stellenbosch and University. Our guide Bonga was excellent. Lunch serving was enormous - suggest share one platter and box the other for the guide’s family.

Private Tour: Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point from Cape Town

Sheryl_K, May 2026

This was a very complete...

This was a very complete and awe inspiring trip. Japhet, our guide and driver, was very knowledgeable and helped us learn a lot learn a lot about Cape Town and South Africa history and animals. He was very kind and very professional very conscientious. He was even ready for the rain that we encountered multiple times throughout the day. We loved our experience!

Table Mountain, Penguins & Cape Point Small Group Tour Cape Town

Susan_W, May 2026

Excellent all roand

Really good comprehensive tour; ran smoothly from beginning to end - apart from the temperamental weather on Table Mountain. Not a problem for Nathan and Ben who managed everything with patience and humour. They merely carried on with the tour returning later to Table Mountain once the weather improved enough for us to go up. Worked well as a team with knowledge, consideration and good driving. :)

Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria

Elizabeth_A, May 2026

Fabulous safari experience

I only had 1 free day in/around Johannesburg so I booked this full day tour. Communication from the minute I made the reservation and all throughout the whole experience was spot on. The driver Sibu called when he was a few minutes from pick up & was pleasant, courteous and helpful. My safari guide for the day was Martin and he was both knowledgeable about the park and all the animals there and made the day fun for a jeep full of strangers. We sadly didn’t get to see any lions but managed to see tons of all the other animals on everyone’s lists. The provided lunch was both delicious and in a beautiful spot with a great breeze and views. As a solo older woman I would 100% recommend this experience.

Cape Town Winelands – Franschhoek Wine Tram & Stellenbosch Tour

Keila_S, Feb 2026

8/10 Solo travel friendly

This was a great tour 10/10 worth. Candy and Zane were great host. They were very accommodating. Tour starts at 8, mobile van with a/c and no large group. It is perfect for solo travelers. Lunch is not included but we stopped in a beautiful city before the wine tram for everyone to find a restaurant. Angel tears winery had to be my favorite but every winery has great tasting. Each one we spent a little less than hour there and candy stayed with us the entire time. I opted in for tasting included. Depending on your wine preferences it can be cheaper to opt out

All-Inclusive Private Tour: Table Mountain, Cape Point & Penguins

Greg_T, Feb 2026

Highly Recommend - great way to experience the best of Cape Town

We did the private VIP tour and would highly recommend it. Our driver was Gift and he was polite, professional and knowledgeable, and he collected us on time in a clean, comfortable vehicle. As a private tour, we were able to be flexible with where we went and how long we spent at each attraction, giving us a more tailored experience. The fast track at Table Mountain was especially beneficial. Overall, an excellent tour and I'd particularly recommend it for those with only a short time in Cape Town, or if you want to get a good overview of most of the main attractions that the city has to offer.

Shark Explorers

chrisspearing, Jan 2026

An Unbelievable Experience

The opportunity to get in to a cage whilst sharks come to within 6 inches of your face is an unbelievable experience. We are so glad that we did this activity and would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature and these wonderful creatures. Sharks all around the cage within 5 minutes for the whole time we were there.

Cape Town Day Safari – Aquila Game Reserve with Lunch & Park Fees

Sharon_K, Sept 2025

A must visit.

We had the most glorious day with Joe, driving us, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was excellent, and we were very lucky to see the huge array of animals. Lions and elephants were particularly breathtaking and so close! The views from both the Lodge site and the park were wonderful and we could not have been treated better by everyone we met. The lunch was most enjoyable and plenty for every different palate. We were not rushed at all and the actual park tour was very informative.
