We had an amazing Cape Peninsula tour today with Tania and couldn’t recommend it more!
Tania arrived right on time and immediately made us feel welcome. She was incredibly friendly with a wonderful sense of humour, which made the whole day really enjoyable. The journey was very comfortable and relaxed, and Tania shared fascinating facts about the area – it felt like she knew something interesting about every street we passed.
What really made the day special was that she took us to some hidden spots we would never have found on our own. One of the highlights was seeing wild ostriches on a beautiful beach, and we were the only people there – such a magical moment.
If you’re thinking about doing a Cape Peninsula tour, we would absolutely recommend going with Tania. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

This tour was the best. The guide was really friendly and professional. She tried to take me to as many places as possible and explained the slightest thing in kind and detail.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
It's such a good feeling to know you had a pleasant experience. I really appreciate the 5 star review and the time you took to write it.
Michael_B, Dec 2025
While the stunning, natural landscape here will always be the star of the show, Tania did so much to give it all meaning and make our experience exceptional. A true local, she offered so much historical and factual information about everything we were seeing - and all with a genuinely friendly style. We could not have had a better experience. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and fun! Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your family was a pleasure to take on tour. That baboon sighting we had together will forever stay etched in my memory.
James_K, Nov 2025
Tania is a kind and gracious guide who knows her town well and enjoys showing off the “best of” to her guests. No matter your interests, she will find the best options and work on your schedule. Knowing we wanted to see wildlife, she took us down the best paths to see everything from ostriches (with babies!) to baboons (with a baby!). It was a truly full and wonderful day!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for the 5 star review. It makes me happy that you enjoyed your experience. Cape Town and South Africa has so much to offer. Hope to see you back here some day.
Leidys_P, Jul 2025
Took the tour last week and it was a great experience, Tanya (or Tania?) our tour guide was excellent. Would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for this 5 star review. Happy we could add to your experience in Cape Town. Your family, especially your little baby was a joy to have on tour.
Dana_K, Jun 2025
My husband and I booked “Private Tour Of Penguins, Cape Of Good Hope & Peninsula” for our honeymoon and our guide, Tania, was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, she was warm, incredibly communicative, and impressively knowledgeable. Tania tailored the day perfectly to our pace and interests, and her insights made every stop along the way more meaningful.
We got to see endless penguins at Boulders Beach, as well as ostriches and antelope at The Cape of Good Hope. The views were breathtaking, and Tania made the history and landscape come alive. She truly made the day unforgettable, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day.
We cannot recommend this tour enough, especially Tania for anyone looking for an enriching, seamless, and incredibly enjoyable experience!

This was a great all-day trip where we were able to see penguins, the Cape of Good Hope, and Cape Point all in one tour.

Mark_O, Dec 2024
Tanya was a delightful tour guide who shows great enthusiasm. In addition to her location knowledge, she is an expert on animals and botanicals of the area. We could not have asked for a better guide and tour.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you Mark and Carolyn for the kind words. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. Hope to see you back here in Cape Town some time again. Hope 2025 is treating you well so far there in Phoenix.
Bradley_B, Sep 2024
We had a great experience. We learned a lot about Cape Town and the surrounding area. Our driver was knowledgeable and enjoyable. It was a great day.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for your positive review. It was fun sharing the beauty of Cape Town with such appreciative people.
Elizabeth_W, May 2024
Tania was a wonderful guide as we had a short day and lots to get done! She was there early to pick us up. She is highly knowledgeable and very pleasant to spend the day with. We had such a great time exploring the coast line of Cape Town including the botanical gardens, Simon Town, Cape Horn and Chapman’s Peak Drive - incredible natural beauty all day!!!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for taking the time to write this 5star review for us. Trust you and Christopher are still having fun on the ship. Enjoy all the new experiences. You were wonderful people to have on tour.
Ersilia_G, May 2024
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts, loads of fun!
It was even better that it was a private tour she was able to stop more often according to what we liked.
Response from Host, May 2024
Happy you enjoyed the day and really appreciate the positive review.
Andrew_B, Mar 2024
Tania gave us a truly memorable day and went the extra mile ( literally ) to show us all of the sights and points of interest from Capetown to the Cape and back again .
From her initial contact to confirm our booking and pick up point until the end of the tour she was friendly , Knowledgeable, efficient and informative throughout. We would never have spotted the Ostriches ourselves !
We were so impressed that we booked a separate tour with Tania to visit the wine region.
Andrew Black
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Andrew, your 5 star review is much appreciated. I loved having the three of you on tour. Thank you for booking the wine experience as well. Please send Sarah and Victoria warm wishes from me. Tania
LeeEtta_B, Mar 2024

Response from Host, Mar 2024
I appreciate that you took the time to write this wonderful review. Your kind words about your day with Mrs Bean means so much. The animals really put on a show for us. Memories of a life time.
Roberta_H, Feb 2024
Tania’s friendliness, her knowledge of the beautiful places we saw, her ability to tell you interesting things without blabbing constantly and boring you. We had a great day. And her kindness in calling to return a lens I left in her car.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your review and for choosing us to do your tours. I enjoyed our conversations and it was a pleasure to be your guide.
Robert_M, Nov 2023
I really enjoyed my tour of the south cape with Tania. The scenery was spectacular and we were very lucky with great weather. Tania was informative about much of the historical spots and the geography of the peninsula. Loved it.

Thank you, Robert. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. You are such a well traveled person. I've learnt a lot from you too. Only 11 countries to visit before you reach your 100th mark. Enjoy the adventure and please keep us posted on your sojourns.
Karen_M, Aug 2023
I had SUCH an amazing day with Tanya, it was more than I hoped for in a day tour! She had so much knowledge of the history, the plants and animals, and just wonderful banter as we drove. I got to see so much of Cape Town and it was so personal—highly recommend!!!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
I was so happy to see your 5 star review, Karen. It was a privilege to share Cape Town with you. Thank you for your kindness.
Poppy_M, Jul 2023
Even though Tanya was very knowledgeable I found she didn’t stick to the itinerary and I missed out on seeing Cape Point. She often went off the beaten track to show me something that took too long and was of no interest to me. I was not provided with a water bottle as mentioned in the inclusions. Tanya also got the date wrong and came a day early. We spent too long at the botanical gardens even though it was interesting it was just the same species of floral. I also thought that the private tour was far too expensive for what was on offer
Justin_S, Jul 2023
Tania was an excellent tour guide! She was pleasant and informative about all the South Africa questions we had. She went put of her way to show us animals and sites we had never seen before. It was a great trip for our first day in Capetown!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hello Justin, thank you for this special review. I tried mailing you, but I think the address is incorrect.
LisaMarie_C, Jun 2023
Tanya was wonderful, very knowledgeable and a delight to spend the day with!! Her good luck even allowed us to see two whales, the first sightings of the season!! All of the stops were wonderful, lived the gardens, and Tanya can tell you about every bird and plant!! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour. The whales was such a bonus and I will not forget the moments we had together. Enjoy the rest of your adventures.
Hope_D, Jun 2023
Tania was a great guide. She shared a lot of history, knew the right stops and places to visit, and made even a rainy, foggy day one of my best days in Cape Town!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you, for choosing me to do your tour, Hope. I appreciate the time you took to write a review. It was a privilege to share Cape Town with you and I do hope our paths will cross again. Your enthusiasm for the nature and animals we saw is contagious.
Vanessa_R, Apr 2023
I highly recommend this tour. There were 13 of us traveling (8-77) so having the private vehicle was awesome. Mark was the perfect tour guide. He was friendly, knowledge, accommodating and kept our large group moving. He knew all the perfect routes and places to stop for amazing views. He even got our party a last minute reservation for lunch. I would request Mark if we return to Cape Town.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for your positive feedback, Vanessa. We hope to take you and your family on tour again one day. I'm happy you all enjoyed the day around the peninsula.
Tina_A, Apr 2023
This was an absolutely wonderful tour! Tania arrived bright and early and created a custom all day tour based on what we wanted to see. Since we only had a couple of days in Cape Town there was a lot to do. Tania went over her plan for the day with us and off we went. to say we packed a lot into the day would be an understatement. We managed to to see Penguin Beach, Cape of Good hope, hit a winery for wine tasting, Simon's Town, Chapman's Peak Drive and much more. Tania took us to all the best spots and even a few hidden local gems. She was personable and professional and we truly had a wonderful time with her. My family and I would highly recommend booking with her. You won't be disappointed!
Response from Host, Apr 2023
It made my day when I read your wonderful review. Thank you! You made the Peninsula and Wine Tour so much more fun. Thank you for recommending our tours. All the very best for you & family. Tania
Deepika_C, Nov 2022
Wonderful experience. Beautiful place had a fulfilling and fun day. Totally worth the visit. Tania was the most wonderful guide and a great company. Highly recommend her.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Namaste Deepika,
Our hike together at Cape Point is something I won't easily forget. We had wonderful conversations and you made the day interesting and fun. Thank you for the 5star review. Hope to see you again in April.

Our guide was so pleasant to talk with, very knowledgeable about the area, and very helpful/flexible in keeping our young son interested and showing us all of the amazing sights. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great personal touch on visiting the Cape.

Our tour with Tania was incredible. Tani has great energy and a great sense of humor while knowing so much about the sights and history. Tani assured we saw and did exactly what we wanted and was flexible with the schedule. She kept the day fun and interesting!
