Cool experience! Very attentive guide
"Kobus was a great guide! From picking us up and dropping of on time, getting the gear that fitted well to a super nice experience in the water - he was very attentive to my mom during snorkeling and dived with me to slightly deeper depth! Cape Town from the underneath the service is as gorgeous! Highly recommend!"

Excellent tour with a great host
"We spent 4 hours on the highlights of Cape Town tour and it was excellent. Sebastian is very easy going and nothing was too much trouble. He was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating hearing the history and especially the impact of apartheid given that is recent history in our lifetime. I would thoroughly recommend Sebastian."

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 "
