A great tour with a great guide!
"My husband and I had a great experience walking for 4 hours through Capetown with Sebastian. Not only does he have a very eleborate knowledge of the history of South-Africa, Capetown and its people, he also has a great sense of humour. He is very kind and makes you feel safe at any moment. If you are looking for someone to guide you through this city, look no further: Sebastian is the man you need."

My ally for my proposal 💍
"I had the most incredible experience with my tour guide Sebastian. His kind heart, outstanding knowledge, and exceptional hospitality truly made my trip unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure that every moment was enjoyable and educational. The best thing is that I asked him to be my ally for my fiance proposal not only he helped me find the perfect spot and time for me to propose to my fiance but also his camera skills are on point. Im so grateful to have met him and made a new friend and south African brother. I highly recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. Thank you for making my journey so special! #BestTourGuide "

Great guide!
"Spending the day with Daryl was a delight. He is so knowledgeable about Cape Town and shared so many unique experiences with us (including the bathroom with a view - IYKYK). He was very focused on our interests and wishes and focused on delivering a memorable experience. We had a great time. "

Fabulous!
"Gilbert was amazing and so very personable! He took us to some wonderful places that we would have never found on our own. He shared special things about Cape Town that we had no idea happened or exsisted. And, he had so many personal, family stories to share that made the experience special. Oh - and there was sooo much yummy food! We are hoping to go on another tour with Gilbert!"

Passion, Knowledge, Wisdom
"I reached out to Trevor about the possibility of putting together a private wine tour focusing on biodynamic and organic wine. Not only did he immediately had ideas, but he was clearly very excited about the prospect of organizing a more off-the-beaten path tour. Our day was truly exceptional. We visited four wineries, each with a different character, highlighting different aspects of Western Cape viticulture. We were even lucky enough to be able to have in-depth conversations with staff involved in the production of the wine at two wineries. Trevor is professional, knowledgeable (both about the wine and about the history/culture/nature of the Western Cape), and exceptionally open-minded. He asked questions of the winery staff which allowed me to learn about aspects of the wine-making process that I would not otherwise have even thought to inquire about. Most of all, Trevor's passion for his work, for wine, and for South Africa made my time with him more than just a typical tourist experience. I did not just learn facts but gained real insight through the experience. This is my second time in Cape Town and if I ever have the chance to return here, without a doubt I will be reaching out to Trevor again."

Exceptional Guide: Above & Beyond
"I recently had the pleasure of touring with Gilbert, and it was an outstanding experience. Gilbert was incredibly informative, providing in-depth knowledge and fascinating insights about every location we visited. Their professionalism was evident throughout, from their punctuality to their respectful and engaging manner. What truly set Gilbert apart was their willingness to go above and beyond. They tailored the tour to our interests, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and even offered additional recommendations to enhance our visit. Gilbert made our trip memorable and enriching. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a top-notch local guide."

Sebastian’s a gem!!
"We booked a private city tour with Sebastian for our family of 5. What a fantastic introduction to Cape Town! Sebastian has almost 20 years of experience providing guided tours across the city and you can tell! He’s extremely well spoken, knowledgeable and personable. Whether you’re interested in the cultural or political history of Cape Town or you just want to see all of the fun spots around town, Sebastian’s your guy! Thanks for a wonderful day my friend!!"
