Karesha_P, Jun 2026

Spectacular!

Angelo our tour guide was the absolute best. He entertained us with lots of history on the South African wineries and his humor and patience were outstanding. The pictures we took at the beautiful site were incredible too. And the wine got better with each sip. I would highly recommend this to anyone considering taking a wine tour in Cape Town!

Johannesburg and Soweto tour

Javier_B, Jun 2026

Great tour

Our guide, Themba, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He provided a lot of insightful information about the history of Johannesburg and the surrounding areas, which made the tour both engaging and educational. The overall experience was very enjoyable, well-organized, and comfortable.

Matt_F, Jun 2026

Wonderful experience for...

Wonderful experience for the whole family. The winery was tranquil, bakery had great food and a playground for the kids to keep busy. The drive was serene the whole way. Safari was unbelievable, saw four of the big five within 30 minutes. Food was excellent and our guides were very friendly and outgoing. Amazing experience that I wish we had do earlier on our trip

Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria

Leanne_S, Jun 2026

A wonderful day in Pilanesburg

i highly recommend this unique experience! We saw a plethora of animals up close and personal due to our brilliant guide Martin. He is humorous, intelligent, professional and you will learn so much about the bush: even for a South African born woman. Definitely request Martin; as well as the gracious Sibu who is kind and professional. This is a deep tour: loved it!!

Soweto /Johannesburg and Apartheid Museum Guided Full Day Tour

J_G, Jun 2026

Best, Most Important tour in Johannesburg

Fantastic tour. Tshepo was the best guide with a lot of good information and good stops for photos. The stops for tours at Mandela House, Appartheid Museum and Constitution Hill were wonderful. It was an incredibly moving day. I highly recommend for the history and political impact. So sad that what happened 50 years ago in Soweto happened 13 years ago in Kiev, Ukraine (Maidan uprising), and keeps happening around the world. Why do we never learn? Thank god the history is preserved in places like these and that there are tours like today’s.

Half Day Boulders Penguins and Cape Point Small Group Tour

Mirjana_P, Jun 2026

Great half day tour

It was an amazing experience. Talent was very knowledgeable and he planned the trip well. The group was amazing and everyone was on time at every stop. We saw the penguins and had an amazing time at Cape of Good Hope. I am glad I did a half-day tour as it was just enough to see everything and still have time to enjoy it.

A comprehensive and enjoyable excursion trip in Cape Town

Excellent adventure! This excursion covered the best points of interest. Rodney, our guide and driver, was excellent as well. He was funny, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. We thoroughly enjoyed every stop along the way! A great trip all around…

Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries

Neil_T, Jun 2026

A Great Introduction to the Cape Winelands

This was a great and cost-effective way to experience the Cape Winelands without having to worry about driving or logistics. The pickup process was smooth, the coach was extremely comfortable, and our guide, Mark, kept the day running efficiently while sharing interesting information about the region. We visited three wineries across Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl, tasting about five wines at each stop. The wineries were beautiful, lunch in Franschhoek was excellent, and we especially enjoyed the dessert pairing at Nederburg. As Pinotage fans, we would have loved to see more Pinotage in the tastings, but the Nederburg Pinotage was our favorite wine of the day. One thing we did not expect was how much we would enjoy meeting fellow travelers. The group setting made it easy to connect with people from different countries and backgrounds, which added to the experience. If you're looking for an easy and enjoyable introduction to the Cape Winelands, I would definitely recommend this tour.

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

Charnell_P, Jun 2026

Highly Recommend!

This experience was totally worth the cost and time. We saw so much in one day, but it didn't feel rushed. There were plenty of places to stop, use restrooms, buy food/drinks, browse vendors, and take in the sights. If not for this, I think I would have only seen 1 or 2 places. My morning drinking tea on Table Top Mountain was one of my favorite memories of Cape Town. The tour guide was gracious and knowledgeable, even though herding tourists around can't be easy. I appreciated all of the history, insight, and humor of this trip. I highly recommend!

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

Fernando_N, Jun 2026

This is an excellent...

This is an excellent tour, and a big part of what made it special was our guide, Clemente. He was warm and friendly, and it was clear he has a deep knowledge of South African history and of every site we visited. At each stop he had something interesting to share about the place and why it matters historically, so we came away having genuinely learned a lot. We were a group of ten, which we really enjoyed — it gave us the chance to chat with the others and swap travel stories along the way. One thing worth knowing if you’re booking: because the tour packs many landmarks into a single day, it moves at a brisk pace. Each stop has a set amount of time before you head to the next one, so you do need to keep an eye on the schedule. That’s not a good or bad thing in itself — just something to be aware of. If you’re after a more flexible, leisurely day, this might not be the ideal format. In our case, we had only a short time in Cape Town, so it was perfect: we got to see all the most important highlights in one well-organized day. If that’s what you’re looking for, this tour delivers 100%. We thought it was great and would happily recommend it.

WILDX 60min Atlantis Dunes Cape Town QUAD BIKE ADVENTURE + PHOTO

Glasco_M, Nov 2025

Definitely One of The Highlights of Our Busy Trip

Wild X Atlantis Quads - CPT Right out of the gate I’ll say that this was one of the best ATV tours our 5 riders have been on! Most of us had previously selected Cabo as being the best. The key difference being the height of some of the dunes, the beauty and the low level of dust in the air. We barely got dirty! Experience details: ⁃ It was very easy to book via Viator if you did so early. We had a few last minute add ons and they had trouble getting a confirmation before we left for the dunes. ⁃ Price was fair. They offered better promotions about 2 weeks before our date. ⁃ Transportation is not provided so you’re on your own. We called an Uber for what was a 45 min ride. Leave early! Be careful with the Uber rides because our driver told us we probably wouldn’t be able to get a ride back because of the isolated location and offered us an outrageous price to wait and return. We took our chances because he wanted 4x what we paid to get out there. We did find an Uber van that happened to be there afterwards and it was for a fair price. Phone signals can be iffy out there. ⁃ The beauty of the white sand dunes is off the charts. No, there is no water nearby so you won’t have that in your pictures. ⁃ Tour guide- was chilled and laid back. Gave us an adequate briefing based on our experience levels. There was no problem with getting your fun on in this high paced ride. We stopped maybe twice however because of ATV issues. Thankfully he was able to get them changed out very quickly. They also let you bring your phones along so you can shoot photos at various stops. He even offered to shoot motion video with one of the phons and it came out studio quality. ⁃ Paperwork will need to be filled out before you start. It is basically waivers of course. ⁃ No food or water is provided but I did see places at the meet point where you could buy things. ⁃ We would definitely recommend WildX and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. ⁃ Although the dust levels are at a minimum, I would definitely recommend bringing some type of face cover and nice fitting shades. There are face shields but I left mine up most of the ride ⁃
