Great tour with Gilbert!
"The food tour with Gilbert was exactly what we were looking for. The combination of history and food was perfect. We really enjoyed the combination of South African and Indian food and we learned a lot about different types of South African food. His discussions of South African history were very informative. We would recommend Gilbert to everyone."

A perfect introduction to Cape Town
"Gilbert was the perfect guide for our first day in Cape Town. He provided is with a great overview of the city while mixing in the history and points of interest. We loved the fact that he shared family history that brought many of the areas to life and that he tailored the trip to our needs."
"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!"
