This is one of the best pick up experiences that I’ve ever had! Gabriel was right by the exit with my name on an iPad sign. I didn’t have to wait or search! He was kind, courteous and professional. He told me about his beautiful city while we drove. Very nice

      We had a wonderful experience with Gabriel from communicating on WhatsApp to being picked up and dropped at the hotel. He provided detailed information on where to meet him, where you get SIM cards, and numerous other inquiries. We would have been lost without Gabriel's guidance. Looking forward to using his service again in the future.

      safe drive to airport

      Jennifer_S, Oct 2026
      the traffic to the airport was hectic. Driver was very safe and informative. We requested an earlier time than originally planned and was able to accommodate.

      Excellent pick up service!

      Great service, safe and reliable

      Being a solo female traveler, with a flight landing in the evening, I was a little anxious about going alone from the airport to the hotel. Based on the good reviews, I booked with Gabriel's company. I'm glad I did! He deserves the 5 star rating! He was on time, waiting at the arrivals lounge with my name on his tablet, helped me with my luggage to the car. His car was clean, and he was very polite, and a great conversationalist, giving me helpful ideas on things to do and local foods to try. Overall it was great service, and I felt safe. I booked with him again when I returned to Johannesburg, and this time, I had changed my hotel but couldn't update my reservation on Viator due to a payment issue, but without any hassle, he looked up the new hotel address and got me there safely again. I would highly recommend his taxi service and use it again if needed.

      Excellent driver! Very knowledgeable and kind. He helped us with all our bags and gave us a tour on the way to the airport.

      Poor service

      James_D, Aug 2026
      Driver walked way too fast for our group through the terminal. Took a very long time to get the car. Finally he got lost to let our arrival to our hotel by 20 to 30 minutes. He was not very friendly or apologetic.

      Best Airport Transfer

      Mark_W, Jul 2026
      Gabriel was the best-professional, helpful and waited for us despite our being late coming off our international flight from the US.

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I look forward to driving you again the next time you're in town!

      Gabriel was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend! He picked us up at JHB airport and drove us to Pretoria. After a long flight, he was a warm welcome to SA for us.

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you so much for the kind words and high recommendation.

      Another great trip!

      Jeffrey_E, Jun 2026
      We were picked up on time for our return trip to the airport. Gabriel is an outstanding driver and couldn't have been more helpful to us to get us close to the door we needed to enter the airport. I highly recommend his company when needing transportation in Johannesburg.

      Fabulous Transportation in Johannesburg

      Jeffrey_E, Jun 2026
      Our driver was there waiting for us when we arrived. He was extremely friendly and would not let my wife touch the luggage. He gave us a lot of information about Johannesburg as we drove to the hotel. I highly recommend this company for your next transportation needs for your next visit to Johannesburg.

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you for the high recommendation and kind words! It was a real pleasure welcoming you both to Johannesburg.

      Great service

      Harriet_M, May 2026
      I had a fantastic experience with Gabriel! I booked two transfers to and from Johannesburg airport and Gabriel was on time, professional and very informative. Gabriel is very knowledgeable about South African culture and history so we had very insightful conversations along the way. As a solo female traveler, it was fantastic having reliable transport and some local recommendations around the city. Gabriel will be the first person I contact if I visit Johannesburg again and I highly recommended him to other travelers!

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! It was a real pleasure meeting you and helping you get around Johannesburg. I'm glad you felt well looked after and enjoyed our chats along the way. Safe travels, and see you next time!

      Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure driving you around. I’m glad I could help make your trip smooth and share a few local food spots with you.

      I’d recommend

      Dennis_R, Feb 2026
      Peter was a very good driver and got us to the hotel without any issues. We were delayed due to the parking ticket wasn’t working and he had to get another one. Not his fault at all.

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      ​Thank you for sharing your feedback! I'm glad to hear that Peter provided a safe and smooth drive to your hotel despite the quick delay with the parking ticket. We really appreciate your understanding with airport parking logistics. We hope to welcome you back again.

      Fabulous Airport Transfer

      Martha_M, Feb 2026
      Gabriel picked us up at the airport in Johannesburg and drove us to our hotel in Rosebank. I emailed with him before the trip so we were on the same page. He was waiting in the arrivals hall when we got there ... his sign with my name was on a tablet and was the easiest one to read (after a 14 hour flight, that was greatly appreciated!!). The ride was smooth and easy and Gabriel gave us lots of suggestions for places to go while we were in Joburg, including a rave review of Proud Mary's restaurant (which was in our hotel). He was a great driver and I'm so happy to have found him!

      Great ride from Johannesburg to Pretoria

      Martha_M, Feb 2026
      Gabriel took us from our hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg to the Rovos Rail station in Pretoria. He was great about answering our questions about the area and explaining the landmarks that we passed. He's from Soweto and is clearly proud of his country and city. On a future trip I'll definitely contact him to see about arranging a tour of Soweto and JoBurg with him. His van was very comfortable for the 50ish minute drive. Thanks Gabriel!

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you so much for the review! It was a true pleasure driving you. I'm glad you enjoyed the journey and insights along the way. I would love to show you around Soweto and the rest of Joburg on your next trip here!

      Great service from Johannesburg to Pretoria

      Martha_M, Feb 2026
      Gabriel picked us up from the Rovos Train station in Pretoria and took us to our hotel in Joburg. He had plenty of space in his van for our 2 sets of golf clubs, 2 suitcases, 2 duffle bags plus the 2 of us. He was waiting for us when the train got into the station and managed collecting all our stuff from the train crew (it was kind of a crazy scene with 40 people getting off and multiple car services picking everyone up). Thanks to his efficiency, we were one of the first cars to leave! Thanks Gabriel!

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you so much for the fantastic review!

      Excellent Car service in Joburg

      Martha_M, Feb 2026
      Gabriel is a great driver - he's so nice! He took us from our hotel in Rosebank to the airport - we had 2 sets of golf clubs as well as suitcases so he brought his van to make sure that everything fit. All on his birthday!! Thanks Gabriel!

      Carolyn_S, Jan 2026
      If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Quick and easy booking, safe transpiration (especially for solo women travelers), great communication via viator or WhatsApp. Super easy pick up from the airport and really pleasant conversation with Gabriel as we traveled to my end destination. He provided me with great tips for touring the city that I am excited to try out during my time here.

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      Thank you so much for the incredible 10-star review! It was a true pleasure driving you, and I’m happy to hear that you felt safe, comfortable, and well-assisted every step of the way. Thanks, Gabriel.

      Excellent Airport Pickup Service

      Mbang_S, Dec 2025
      Excellent airport pickup service. Gabriel was very friendly, punctual, and very professional from the moment I arrived. Gabriel went above and beyond, helping me exchange money and getting a local SIM card set up. Also provided some local recommendations, which made exploring the city much easier.

      Response from Host, Oct 2026

      ​Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was a absolute pleasure meeting you and assisting with your airport pickup and arrival process

      If you want the best - Book Gabriel!

      Gerald_L, Dec 2025
      Gabriel is the BEST. Punctual, polite, interesting- we booked his service a second time and recommend him for superior service about Jo-Burg.

      Gabriel was fantastic! He arrived on-time and with a friendly disposition. He assisted with our luggage at the hotel as well as the apartment where we were lodging. We will book with Gabriel when we return to the area.

      Fhatu (our driver) contacted me when we landed and told me where to meet him. It was very easy and convenient. His driving was very good and we never had any worries. He gave us a little history lesson on the way to our hotel. Very nice, polite and knowledgeable.

      Response from Host, Sep 2025

      Thank you for your review. "Appreciated, Wiley and family were awesome. They showed so much interest in our history and culture. I remember at some stage they were debating about the prisons Mandela had been and the things they learned in their tours." - Fhatu
