It was not quite what I thought it would be, (very tame) BUT guides were very knowledgeable. A lovely family business.

A short trip around Port Elizabeth, we particularly enjoyed seeing the sand dunes, the lighthouse and the visit to the penguin sanctuary where we adopted a one footed penguin we named Alex. Hopefully he/she will be returned to the wild when fully recovered from the injuries they are treating. You receive a certificate and photograph by email and will be updated to the birds progress.
Carlin was polite and the car was clean and comfortable.

Carlin gave our small party of 12 a great personable tour of some key coastal locations in Port Elizabeth including the penguin rehabilitation centre. I would highly recommend d

Locations were great however driver showed up 10 mins late and insisted he wasn't late we were early. The driver was supposed to be a "professional guide" - NOT! Provided no narrative as we drove from location to location - did not provide any location information upon arrival at each location. Air conditioning was 2/70 - 2 windows opened driving at 70 kmph. At two locations he asked how long we wanted to stay - as there was 10 passengers he got 10 different answers. Prior to the start one passenger was told to make sure he tipped the driver well! On the way back to the cruise terminal entrance the driver was asked if he could drop us at the Mall - he said he would however he drove right to the dock entrance anyway. There was a heated discussion between the "owner" and some of the passengers. Disappointing as the tour locations were good!

Im glad you enjoyed the location. Apologies for the guide, we hired him as a freelance guide for the day as we were stretched with guides on the particular day as we hosted over 100 passengers on various tours from the cruiseliner. We will not be using that particular guide again after hearing your experience. Im the owner Carlin and I was on a full day tour so it could of not been me. Not sure who that was.

The van arrived late, there was no promised air con, it was too small to fit the number of passengers booked. There was none of the promised commentary, we were just taken to four stops with no explanation of where we were or why. Avoid this tour

Good Day
Apologies the Van arrived at the pick up time 2 minutes after the pick up time. The bus is a 16 seater and you were 11 guests on it,so I dont get how it was to small. The tour comprises of quite a few stops so you not much in the van.

Carlin's Tours did a great 3 hour tour of the coast south of Port Elizabeth. The penguin sanctuary was inspirational - allowing injured penguins to recover and return to the wild and providing a permanent homes for those too injured to do so. Run by volunteers and worth supporting. Interesting historic light house and nice introduction to coast and beaches. A relaxing way to spend three hours with an engaging guide. Recommended.

Lawrence was a great driver and guide. He gave us a complete history and allowed time for shopping for native crafts. It was a wonderful time in port Elizabeth.

Carlin, owner of the company and tour guide was very dedicated and informative, having arranged Brazilians to join me and get to know everyone more together.

We would be picked up on time at the cruise port. Our guide was very friendly, had an extensive knowledge and also provided us with his WiFi.

The tour took us into nature around Port Elisabeth. Carlin, our guide, has told us all sorts of things about the country and people, about the different sights, gong on questions we wishes. He was a super guide, well-positioned, good-humored, communicative. The tour was very worthwhile and Carlin is highly recommended. We were picked up at the cruise terminal and brought back again.
