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."

"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."

Great Stories and Food
"We loved our customised and private afternoon tastings tour with the wonderful Gilbert. Along with tasting some great food we got to see parts of the city that we would not have gone to without this tour. Gilbert's storytelling took us on a journey through Cape Town and African history, illustrated with city sights and food. Gilbert was fun to be with, made sure that we were looked after and that all of our food needs were met. This is a must do when in Cape Town. Hint - have a light breakfast and don't have lunch! Thank you Gilbert for a great and memorable experience. Cheers Jason and Stephen."
